Damn Failure During Capture
Spent a lot of time getting an image ready, used the capture cd to capture, and it failed. So, during capture of course it disables the admin account, but now that it failed before capturing the actual image, I am stuck with a windows 7 box that has no login. Anyone have a suggestion???

A.) I suggest you don't use the capture CD. It hoses some stuff up, especially if you intend to deploy X64. B.) Always build your reference image on VM and take a snapshot right before you start the capture. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum/|

Ok, is there a way to capture the image now that I cannot login to computer??? I see that there is a capture OS image option in a custom task sequence....will this work?

The best way is to use a build and catpure methodology and task sequence. Manually building a reference system is un-IT.Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys

I agree. And normally I do, but this school has a large number of old, odd software that needs to go to a number of machines.(Way to many to do manually) This software cannot be deployed using sccm. So, the easiest solution is to add them directly to the image and then capture. Unless, someone has a better idea. Most of the software has to be registered, install codes added, etc.

You need to boot into Audit Mode then install programs and drivers. After that, capture a image. Please refer to: What is Sysprep? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721940(WS.10).aspx You can consider to capture image with SCCM Task Sequence.

I would accomplish your task with the following steps: Create and advertise a build task sequence like this: http://tinypic.com/r/2iaehp3/7 I recommend to include all software that you can, so you don't have to install them manually everytime. Install your custom software Create and advertise a capture task sequence like this: http://tinypic.com/r/2i03cap/7 The reference image is not in the domain, therefore you need the SLP role installed.
