Is it possible to Deploy Windows 7 through SCCM 2012 - Software Centre as an available Task Sequence?

 

I already have task sequences that are deployed using PXE boot but would like to know if it is possible to deploy Windows 7 via an available task sequence through SCCM 2012 - software centre so that the end user is able to rebuild/refresh their own machine.

Yes, but this can get very tricky if you're letting the end user refresh their Win7/8. Firstly, you have to make an available deployment that targets a certain group of computers (don't want to advertise an OSD to All Computers). Secondly, what sort of security do you have on your PXE point? Is it password protected? Are you going to give that password out? Will you have something that handles the frontend pieces such as a media hook HTA that requires user authentication? Point being in this case, is that you don't want someone accidentally imaging their workstation.
