OSD: Deploying Win7 with SCCM 2007 SP2 and Modena

osd-deploying-win7-with-sccm-2007-sp2-and-modena

Just downloaded Modena (RC1) from Connect. Haven’t installed it in my SCCM lab yet, but have extracted the files. There are a few good scripts I can use and the WindowHide.exe executable (no more scripting for hiding Windows during OSD).

More bits for my perfect deployment setup …

ConfigMgr: CD boot media with fixed IP

configmgr-cd-boot-media-with-fixed-ip

Today I had to create a CD boot media with an fixed IP – why? - cause I had to do a OSD at a branch office without a DHCP server and had no Super User on location.

I created a CD boot media within SCCM and extracted the ISO using WINRAR.
I mounted the BOOT.WIM from \<boot media name>\SOURCES\

 

Then I created an .ini file with the name TSconfig.ini in the root of the media and a VBScript named PreTS.vbs. The VBScript run Netsh to set the fixed IP and the DNS server.

The script will execute before pulling the policies from the SCCM server.

After that I created a new CD boot media using CDIMAGE GUI. I used etfsboot.com as CD boot sector. On my 32-bit XP Pro the file is located in C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\boot\etfsboot.com (You need a local install of WAIK 2.0 (I run ConfigMgr 2007R2 SP1)).
