Lagamorph Posted September 14, 2015 Report post Posted September 14, 2015 Hi all, As part of some of the SCCM things I'm working on (whilst also learning), I've got a requirement to deploy some Windows Server 2003 (I know I know, old and unsupported, but the decision isn't up to me) servers, however I'm having some trouble adding the OS into SCCM 2012 for deployment. I have our 2003 ISO, however it doesn't have a WIM file as later versions of Windows have, just the Setup package and lots of other files. I've had a look through some of the guides and it looks like this was doable in SCCM 2007 from the guides on that, using the "Operating System Install Package" section, however 2012 doesn't have this, only an "Operating System Upgrade Packages" section. I can add a package here, and under the details tab it does appear to be picking this up as an OS, however this package isn't available when attempting to create a Build & Capture task sequence Are there additional steps required to deploy 2003 from SCCM 2012? Or is this simply not possible/not supported anymore? I was thinking I might need to mount the Iso onto a VM and just do a manual installation, then run a purely capture task sequence, though the wizards in SCCM only seem to allow for the creation of a Build & Capture sequence, not a pure capture sequence, at least not that I can find anyway.

Jaybone Posted September 17, 2015 Report post Posted September 17, 2015 It's been a while since I've done this, but I want to say it's doable, though not with the build and capture stuff. Used to do this with XP boxes before we finally ditched them. I think what you can do is essentially: 1. Build a reference system. Manually, via answer files, whatever. Recommend to do it in a VM. 2. Customize/patch up/etc. 2.5 make a snapshot/checkpoint in case anything goes haywire when you... 3. Run pre-imaging procedures for any 3rd party software that needs it, and run Sysprep to get Windows ready 4. Boot it into your WinPE environment 5. Hit F8 to get to a command prompt 6. cd \windows\pkgmgr (errr, whatever path, something like that) 7. Use ImageX to grab a copy. E.g. Imagex /capture d: \\someserver\someshare\Win2003.wim "Server 2003" 8. Import that .wim into Config Manager and create a TS for deployment. Keep in mind that drivers can't be added with the Add Driver step like they can for Vista+ If I'm forgetting/wrong on something, someone please correct me.
