deploying windows xp sp2

[infotech]

Hi everybody,

I was given the assignment to deploy 50 computers to windows xp sp2 using SCCM 2007. I read the section about deploying windows xp on this site which is excellent by the way! But i got a problem though, when i was creating a task sequence on the "task sequence information" page when i click on "browse" i only saw the default two boot images. (boot image (x64) 6.0.6000.16386 and boot image (x86) 6.0.6000.16386). so how can i be able to find and select the "x86 windows PE boot enviroment for SCCM 1.0 EN-US".

 

My SCCM server is operating on Microsoft windows 2k3 R2. I would very much appriciated it if you get back to me soon. I really need to get to the bottom of this assignment.

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

In SCCM Console:

Goto: Computer Management -> Operating System Deployment ->Boot Images

 

You should see the 2 Defaults, x86 and x64?

 

Click Add Boot Image:

then in the source select \\servername\SMS_<CODE>\OSD\Boot\i386\boot.wim

 

Call it what ever you want (e.g.x86 windows PE boot enviroment for SCCM 1.0 EN-US)

 

distribute it to your DP's and the PXE SP.

 

Make sure if your testing you enable F8 as per this link

 

Enjoy :-)
