What OS (version & edition)? What kind of task sequence (build and capture or deployment)? Are you deploying drivers during the TS? What are they? Are you deploying Software Updates during the TS? What are they? Are you deploying any applications during the TS? What are they? Are there applications, software updates, or drivers in the image you are deploying (if using a deployment TS)? What are they? How di you create the image (if using a deployment TS)?Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/default.aspx | Twitter @JasonSandys

thanks for your reply. Well i have bare metal system on which im trying to test deployment & after that i will do the same with other systems. What kind of task sequence (im using option USE EXISTING IMAGE) Are you deploying drivers during the TS (YES system drivers Are you deploying Software Updates during the TS (NO Are you deploying any applications during the TS? (NO i just first add the windows7 boot image & upload the drivers into it, then create operating system image & operating system install package and create the task sequence updated the all distribution points. thats it

So you are using boot.wim from the Win7 Media? Why are you creating an OS Install Package & an OS Image package?Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/default.aspx | Twitter @JasonSandys
