SCCM - Image Creation Workflow and Documentation
- This article will provide a rough outline of how the current imaging creation process is configured for the university.
- Primary Site Server: Config-Manager
- Secondary Site Server(Marin): Mar-Config-Mgr
Microsoft Deployment Tool
- Initial base image must be created by MDT
- MDT utilizes the Windows 10/11 ISO and then builds upon that based on what is defined by the Task Sequence
- A VM must be used to create the base image
- MDT creates a bootable image used to start the creation process
- Bootable image is located here: \\config-manager\deploymentshare$\Boot\LiteTouchPE_x64.iso
- Attach the above ISO to a VM to start the creation process
- There are 2 different task sequences for deployment
- Staff: All default settings
- Lab: Pauses the task sequence before completion to allow for Lab application deployment
- Note the computer name and turn off the Firewall
- Go to PDQ-Server and deploy the Lab Software bundle
- Change deployment credentials to Reference Image administrator
- Monitor installation as several apps require user input to complete installation
- Once applications have been installed, click the "Resume Task Sequence" icon on the desktop
- WIM file will be captured from the image and stored here: \\config-manager\deploymentshare$\Captures
Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM)
- Images files captured from MDT are moved and stored here: \\config-manager\sources$\OSD\OS
- These image files must be imported into Configuration Manager under \Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Operating System Images
- 4 Task Sequences have been created for deployment and utilize the MDT image captures
- Lab Desktop
- Task sequence with Optiplex driver packages and lab application package pre-installed.
- Lab Laptop
- Task sequence with Latitude driver packages and basic applicaiton package. Staff image is utilized to create a lightweight deployment for loaner laptops.
- Staff Desktop
- Task sequence with Optiplex driver packages and standard desktop user application package.
- Staff Laptop
- Task sequence with Latitude driver packages and standard laptop user applicaiton package.
