[sccm 2012] sccm 2012 mdt capturing image

[loucoll-Dave]

Hi Guys

 

so we have sccm2012 up and running now, works great, i have captured a image messed about with it then put it back up again but i notice you need to specific a image in the ts i notice when i deploy this the change eg folder structure is back to how it was say from the wim file on the dvd.

 

i read that to do the capturing proper you need to use mdt.....i have incorporated this into sccm but my question is does anyone have a guide on how to do the ts on to capture a image, when i do it it asks me to do lots of packages then fails at the end all i want to use the mdt side of this for is to capture images.

 

also where in the settings can i make it so when i boot it gives me the list of boot files rather than just going to my x64 image i must have changed something somewhere

 

hope this makes sense sorry just having a bad patch atm

I presume you have looked at windows noon?

[loucoll-Dave]

yeah looked at that

So you want to use a TS to capture an already made image? I don't think this is possible without custom code.

 

You can use a TS to create a build and capture, this installs a fresh copy of windows to the reference machine and captures the process back to the server, you then have to roll that back out with another TS.

 

Or you an use bootable media (USB/DVD) to capture a reference machine in its current state.

we used mdt before so basicaly for the capturing use the mdt part as sccm doesnt seem to work fully.

so yes a ts to capture then another ts in sccm to deploy the images

I followed this guide during my setup, using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager - Part 7. Build and Capture Windows 7 X64 SP1 - Configuration Manager 2012 - www.windows-noob.com

 

As long as you have the previous steps set up it should work.

And this is how to capture a machine already set up, with the software etc. How can I capture an image using capture media in ConfigMgr 2012 - Configuration Manager 2012 - www.windows-noob.com
