sysadmin101 Posted November 4, 2019 Report post Posted November 4, 2019 hello, is it possible to proceed with OS deployment while the primary server is offline? this is assuming the deployment is taking place within a boundary that is served by a secondary site. is there any way to make the deployment work while primary server is offline? thanks!

anyweb Posted November 4, 2019 Report post Posted November 4, 2019 you can use StandAlone media which doesn't require a network connection and therefore doesn't need to speak to the management point https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/configmgr/osd/deploy-use/create-stand-alone-media Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sysadmin101 Posted November 5, 2019 Report post Posted November 5, 2019 that's actually a good idea! will standalone media work for joining PC to AD? (the PC has full network access to AD etc, only the primary server will be offline) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
