In the Operating System Deployment node, click on Task Sequences and right click on the Task Sequence we just created, choose Advertise
when the General screen comes up, choose the settings as below in the screenshot, you can browse to a collection called Deploy 7 (you should have created this collection beforehand).
Schedule
Set your schedule depending on whether you are in a Lab or Production Environment.
For a Lab Environment
Make the Task Sequence mandatory by clicking on the yellow star and select As soon as possible.
Select ignore maintenance windows when runing program and allow system restart, set the program rerun behaviour to always rerun program so that we can rerun the task sequence over and over as we require for testing.
For a Production Environment
In a Production environment set the advertisement from Mandatory to Optional, this gives us less risk of an accidental deployment but also introduces the possibilty of choice.
if you want to remove choice then keep the advertisement mandatory but change the program rerun behaviour to never rerun (see below screenshot).
select the following Distribution Point options
show the task sequence progress
and click next, next, next and close.
at this point you can right click on the Deploy 7 collection, choose properties and you'll see our new Task Sequence is advertised to that collection
Step 2. Last Actions
All you have to do now is Add systems to the Deploy 7 collection and pxe boot them, then they will get imaged with our pre-captured Deploy 7 Enterprise X64 RTM image.
You can do this in many ways, either by Direct Membership, Computer Association, AD groups membership....
