Deploying Additional/Updated Software using a task sequence that reboots into PXE

[Paul Hunt]

We have rolled out out Windows 7 etc via SCCM using PXE, OSD Task Sequence etc.

 

Now I would like to roll out new software or update existing using a task sequence but rebooted into PXE to stop users opening software i.e. Word 2010 during distrubution of additional software.

 

Currently we don't want to create a whole new OSD as we have just gone live.

 

So I have created a new Task Sequence attached the x86 boot image, then created an advertisement which is pointed to a collection of course :-)

 

The task sequence is basically...

 

1. Reboot machine to PXE

2. Install Software A

3. Install Software B

3. Reboot to Finish

 

I get an Task Sequence error. I think the error was like 0x80000002.

 

Hi is this posible to do ?

You can't install software when the machine is in WinPE, you should restart to FullOS.
