Windows 7 - Capture only Task Sequence

[Peter Sokolov]

I need to create an only Capture Task Sequence.

I have Windows 7, with all drivers and soft.

Look down which steps I made:

 

1) sysprep.exe /quiet /generalize /shutdown /oobe

2) Made a task sequence in SCCM like anyweb told me "you can just rip the capture part of the build and capture ts and advertise THAT to your windows 7 capture collection, if i get time i'll do up a post" (sccm_task1.jpg)

3) Booted my PC (which I need to be captured)

4) Got an error (IMAG0001.jpg)

 

So can anyone help me - where is my mistake?

Thank you!

Probably the step that you are trying to start with has to run in full OS...

 

I tried to do a Capture Only this weekend and it worked like a charm. I created a Task Sequence without a Mandatory schedule so i had to start it from the Run Advertised Programs. For Windows 7 my Task Sequence had the following steps:

Join Workgroup
Prepare ConfigMgr Client
Prepare OS
Capture the reference image

Tried the same thing but I got the same 32 error.

 

The log had the following errors:

 

The execution of the group (Capture the Reference Machine) has failed and the execution has been aborted. An action failed.

Operation aborted (Error: 80004004; Source: Windows)

 

Failed to run the last action: Prepare ConfigMgr Client. Execution of task sequence failed.

The request is not supported. (Error: 00000032; Source: Windows)

post the entire log here please

As mentioned in my previous reply: Most of the time that error has something to do with running in the wrong environment (WinPE instead of Full OS).

This is a part of your smsts.log and it say's exactly what I already mentioned two(!) times before.....

How do I run it in Full OS mode?

[Peter van der Woude]

What steps do you run and how do you start it?

[Peter Sokolov]

What steps do you run and how do you start it?

OK, so let us pretend, that I ran in Full OS mode. How can I make a capture task sequence, if this machine located out of boundaries? I mean, Yes, there is SCCM client installed, but this machine is outside the of entire domain.

[Peter van der Woude]

That is not gonna work....

 

When you want to use a Capture Only Task Sequence the machine has to be within the Boundaries, otherwise it is not possible to advertise anything to it... Then you should use a Capture CD.
