How to set up a Task Sequence to deploy Windows 7 images captured via an SCCM 2007 Capture CD or via Pxe-Boot
1. In the SCCM 2007 Admin Console, under the "Computer Management" --> "Operating System Deployment" --> "Operating System Images" node, right click on the Windows 7 image being deployed and choose "Properties".
2. Click on the "Images" tab.
3. Under the option "Select image you want to view:", switch between the different images (i.e., "1-1" or "2-2") that are contained in the WIM file. Determine which image, i.e. 1-1 or 2-2, contains the Windows installation. The image that contains the Windows installation will have information next to the fields "OS version", "Architecture", "HAL Type", and "Description". The non-Windows data image will not have anything next to these fields.
4. Click on the "OK button.
5. In the SCCM 2007 Admin Console, under the "Computer Management" --> "Operating System Deployment" --> "Task Sequences" node, right click the affected Task Sequence and choose “Edit”.
6. In the left pane of the Task Sequence select “Partition Disk”.
7. Double click on the first item under “Volume” to bring up the “Partition Properties”.
8. In the "Partition Properties" window:
Under "Partition options", select "Use a percentage of remaining free space" and set the field "Size(%)" to "100".
Under "Formatting options", make sure the "Quick Format" option is selected.
Click on the "OK" button.
9. Single click on the second item under “Volume:” to highlight it, and then click on the red “X” button to delete it.
10. Select the “Apply Operating System” task.
11. Under the "Apply operating system from a captured image" option, make sure that the "Image:" drop down menu is set to the Windows installation image as determined in Step 3 (i.e., "1-1" or "2-2").
12. Select the “Apply Data Image 1” task.
13. The "Apply Data Image 1" task is not needed and can either be removed or disabled. To disable the task, select the "Apply Data Image 1" task, click on the "Options" tab, and then select the option "Disable this step". To delete the task, select the "Apply Data Image 1" task, right click on it, and then select "Delete". Make sure to take either one of these two actions.
14. Click on the "OK" button to save the changes to the Task Sequence.
It is actually the exact way that Task Sequences are created by the "New Task Sequence Wizard" when deploying non-Windows 7 Operating System.
