Win7 deployment : How to add PC into a domain ?

[Patslayer]

Hi Gurus,

 

We will soon start the image creation of Win7 for a massive deployment scheduled this winter.

 

I'm trying to make the same things that we did with our XP Sysprep : to have the possibility, during the mini-setup, to enter the PC network name and specify which domain to join.

 

Unfortunately I did not find any ressource about this topic yet...

 

Thanks and regards,

Patrick

how are you intending to deploy the machines ? using wds, mdt, sccm or other ?

Hi,

 

We want to use SCCM 2007.

 

Thanks,

Patrick

You can just use the default Apply Network Settings step.

Keep in mind that you need ConfigMgr SP2, which is still in Beta, to deploy Windows 7.
