Create distribution point and then update it

complete the following Step (step 4)

 

do I have to continue all Step or only until to Continue to Part 2 >> or I have to go on to end of part 6?

 

by step Add Operation System Install Package wizard must be a ISO data or do I have to do the contents?

[anyweb]

you must do these bits first

 

Create a Package from Definition for the ConfigManager Client

complete the following Step (step 3).

Create distribution point and then update it

complete the following Step (step 4)

 

and then do all of this > Deploy XP part 2

 

and you must extract the contents of the ISO to a folder and use that folder as the xp install package otherwise you won't install anything

without the boot images you wont be able to boot so yes you have to add the boot images.

thank you for reply. Yes I do follow step by step your guide for deploy XP and I imported the computer ind sccm with MAC-Address.

But it happend nothing and PXE does not startet and I cannot see any PXE boot Client.

 

by this point:

 

Create distribution point and then update it

 

complete the following Step (step 4) I follow this step until Add New operating system image. I cannot add here a install.wim?

 

where is my problem?

all that step 3 and step 4 are far is to create the ConfigMgr client package from definition and then to distribute it to a DP.

 

After they are done you simply return to the guide, which is part 2 of Deploy XP

Ok I uderstand it, I still will do it again all steps. But my problem is how to find or create a "install.wim"? I want to deploy XP and not Vista. This "install.wim" is on your guide for Vista or?

[anyweb]

if you move to part 2 of deploy XP you will see that you do the following:

On the Install Windows screen click on Browse and select the XP SP3 operating system install package we created in Part 1.

 

it is only after XP is installed using the build and capture task sequence, that you can CAPTURE the image to a WIM file, that file can be called somexpcapture.wim or whatever.wim and you use THAT captured wim file to do your installs of XP in the future, it will be your install.wim file...

 

i hope that makes it a bit clearer

I found the easiest way for XP is to install it on a base machine, install all drivers and apps, sysprep shutdown. Boot with WinPE cd with imagex injected into and capture your wim. Copy to SCCM shared folder and deploy.

but it doesnt work on all configurations, witch is a problem for me.It work only on the chipset family that windows was installed on.
