Is the Step-By-Step Capture Process Outdated?

[MagnumVP]

Is the capture of Windows 7 that was performed in the Step-By-Steps guide found https://www.windows-noob.com/forums/topic/4468-using-sccm-2012-rc-in-a-lab-part-7-build-and-capture-windows-7-x64/outdated?

 

Isn't the Create MDT Task Sequence preferred?

 

 

Normally AnyWeb posts an update link to a new process (if created) so wanted to verify.

 

For anyone curiosity as to why Windows 7 and not 10? I'm currently trying to Build and Capture a Windows 7 image to deploy (just in case anyone needs to reimage Windows 7 over Windows 10). I can't seem to Build it using the automated build process because it won't install IE 11 during the Software Updates (available software updates only go back 1 year within SCCM) so I'm installing Windows 7 manually, applying all updates and products and then perform the Capture.

it was relevant when i posted it and of course there's more than one way to do it, use whichever method works for you be it

 

* capture media

* build and capture process in ConfigMgr

* use MDT to build and capture the image

 

I wroted a book recently which covers how to do this in ConfigMgr, have you taken a look as it covers software updates also...

I have no doubt it was relevant then. You do great work and I have already purchased your book, it's a great resource. I just cant find where it references how to update an image that is older than 1 year since the Monthly Updates only refer back to 1 year.

 

 

Was just curious about a guide with the updated MDT process. Thanks

if you look at the offline servicing section of the book it covers adding all applicable updates to an already captured image, as regards doing this using MDT use any of Johan or Mikael's guides,
