The following tables describe some of the prerequisites and installation considerations depending on the method of operating system deployment you implement for your Configuration Manager 2007 site. PXE-Initiated Operating System Deployments Dependencies Advantages Disadvantages Reference PXE service point site role. Windows Deployment Services installation. Firewall port configuration. This method works well when no user is present at the destination computer or in datacenter environments. Optional PXE advertisements require user intervention. DHCP considerations when co-located with PXE service point site role. Planning for PXE Initiated Operating System Deployments Bootable Media-Initiated Operating System Deployments Dependencies Advantages Disadvantages Reference Appropriate image architecture must be available on an accessible distribution point. Works well for bare metal operating system deployment scenarios. Media can be password-protected for security purposes. You must use bootable media in the same Configuration Manager 2007 site where the media was created. How to Deploy an Operating System Image Using Media Stand-alone Media-Initiated Operating System Deployments Dependencies Advantages Disadvantages Reference Media set of USB flash drive, CD, or DVD which will contain the necessary installation files. Use this method for computers that are connected to the Configuration Manager 2007 site by using a low bandwidth connection. No connection to the Configuration Manager 2007 site is required. Media should be password-protected for security purposes. All necessary installation files must be contained on the media. All required device drivers must be contained on the media.

well then, you don't need a psp or wds for that scenario cheers niall My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady

that's what I wanted to know, thanks EirikTiago Souza MCSA:Messaging,MCTS,MCP http://www.portaltecnologia.net

The procedures in the link are valid. You just have to skip the part about PXE boot and F12, and instead create a boot image as descibed in my last post. WDS is only needed for PSP (PXE) role, so in your case you don't need it.

Hi, I am new to deploying OSD. I saw the article: http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/667-deploy-windows-7/. But I wanted to know if it's the same procedure when I want to burn a bootable media to deploy windows 7 via SCCM, and what services I need to install in SCCM and windows server. Do I need to install PXE role? Thank you.Tiago Souza MCSA:Messaging,MCTS,MCP http://www.portaltecnologia.net

If you want to use a bootable media you do not need the PXE role. Personally I prefer the ability to PXE boot, but that is another discussion. To create a bootable media for SCCM you right click the task sequence that you want to deploy and choose "create task sequence media".

Tks Eirik! About the roles, do I need to install WDS in Windows 2008? The procedures that I've saw at the link are ok? I just need to change the final part, is that right?Tiago Souza MCSA:Messaging,MCTS,MCP http://www.portaltecnologia.net

if you want to PXE boot then you'll need wds installed and you'll need to install the PSP role (pxe service point) My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady

Thanks Niall, but I just want to install through a bootable media, not PXETiago Souza MCSA:Messaging,MCTS,MCP http://www.portaltecnologia.net
