deploy win7 without capture?

[iqnet]

Hi all,

 

this might be a stupid question, but can you deploy windows 7 on a computer without capturing it first?

 

Lets say i just want to be able to add any computer with different hardware that can run windows 7 and installed with sccm over network,

 

As much as i have learned the captured image is captured for just that specific computer i captured from? right?

 

Thanx.

you can capture a windows 7 image from a hyperv host or vmware and use that captured image to deploy windows 7 to your Dell Latitude or IBM Thinkpad or HP whatever,

 

so yes... if that answers your question,

 

but, you still need an image captured from somewhere (virtual is best) before deploying the os to anything else as deploying it from the Windows 7 dvd image would result in Windows 7 being deployed on D: instead of C:
