Image Deployment for Domain Computers

[irin]

Dear Gurus,

Urgent need for your expert views in following situation.

Need to deploy Image of OS with following Requirements

1) OS (Obvious) Windows 7 Professional

2) Drivers Included

3) Software - MS Office, Adobe reader, Lync

4) All Available OS Updates

5) Every time computer must have diff. PC name

Can I do it within my SCCM 2012 R2?

Please let me know links or step by step process to get same result.

This should be single time process.

 

To capture Image : I need to install OS manually, Install Drivers, Join Domain, Install All Required Softwares, than capture image & deploy.

 

What I am understanding is if I have 3 diff. Laptop/Desktop Models, I need to capture 3 images for them. Becuase Drivers will be different.

Warm Regards,

Irin

of course you can do it with configuration Manager, here's some guides for that.

 

• CM12 in a lab - Part 7. Build and Capture Windows 7 X64
• CM12 in a lab - Part 8. Deploying Windows 7 X64

as regards drivers, no you do NOT need to capture three different images, instead, capture one image from a virtual machine (hyperv or vmware or whatever virtualization software you prefer), and use Apply Driver Package steps in the deploy task sequence to apply the correct drivers to the correct hardware based on wmi queries in the options tab of each step

 

this is explained in more detail here and here (step 5)
