dooty22 Posted March 11, 2015 Report post Posted March 11, 2015 and probably a dumb question, but Im confused what this process does. It seems to deploy a WIM from Installation source, then copy up that WIM and push a copy back to a share again, which you use within a task sequence. Why dont you just directly use the WIM from the installation source ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted March 11, 2015 Report post Posted March 11, 2015 the idea is that you use this process to make changes to the standard wim, by introducing updates for example or installing apps, so the end result (the captured wim) contains not only the original operating system, but all the latest windows updates and a few key applications like office 2013 or similar...

dooty22 Posted March 12, 2015 Report post Posted March 12, 2015 ok thanks. So if I want to deploy the base vanilla OS source as is, then there is no requirement for the build and capture process. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted March 12, 2015 Report post Posted March 12, 2015 correct, however you'll want to customize it sooner or later (think security, updates...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooty22 Posted March 16, 2015 Report post Posted March 16, 2015 wouldnt you normally just do the updates/software etc during the task sequence ?? Otherwise id need to re-capure the image every time something changed. or am I misunderstanding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted March 16, 2015 Report post Posted March 16, 2015 you can deploy updates during the task sequence, however in the case of say Windows 7 which has hundreds of updates, your deploy task sequence would take forever, so not a nice way to deliver OSD, for that reason you'd want to capture a 'gold' image once every quarter or so with as many windows updates bundled into it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
