Creating
a Deployment Task Sequence
Now we have the distribution share with a
clean image of Windows 7, we can create a task sequence to deploy the operating
system.
1.
In “Deployment Shares”, expand the
deployment share created, right click “Task Sequences” and select “New
Task Sequence”.
2. Insert a “Task Sequence ID”, I’m using “WIN7”.
And a “Task Sequence name”, in my case “Deploy Windows 7 clean image”.
Click “Next”.
3. Accept the default option in “Template”: “Standard Client
Task Sequence”. Click “Next”.
4. Select the operating system to deploy. Click “Next”.
5. The “Product Key” section can be used to not specify a
key at this point. Click “Next”.
6. Complete the information about the
registered user and click “Next”.
7.
In my case I’m also selecting the local Administrator password. Click “Next”.
8. In the “Summary” page click “Next”.
9.
Once the process is complete we can click “Finish”.
Note: There’s an option of “View Script”,
which we can use to retrieve an automated script to use for every time we want
to create a similar Task Sequence (we only need to change the values)
10. The process is completed once we
update the Deployment Share. In the Deployment Share name, right click and
select “Update Distribution Share”.
11.
select the option for “Optimize the boot image updating process”. Click “Next”.
12. Click “Next” on “Summary”. This
process can take a few minutes since it will be creating new files, including
the boot images “LiteTouchPE_x86.iso” and “LiteTouchPE_x64”
which can be used for the clean operating system deployment.
The drivers section we can create simple
wizard where we can add device drivers into the operating system deployment. This
is support “.inf” extension, we can add the components directly; but always
remember to use the “Update Distribution Share” once you change the deployment
share
