Deploying Windows 7 Operating System

Images Using System Center Configuration

Manager 2007

ObjectivesAfter completing this lab, you will be better able to:

Create a Network Access Account for use from WinPE. Install a Configuration Manager State Migration Point to store user state

information.

Create a package for USMT 4.0. Create an Operating System Capture media. Capture a Windows 7 client computer. Import the Windows 7 image into Configuration Manager as an OS image

package.

Deploy the Windows 7 image to a Windows XP client computer for an in-place upgrade.Scenario

This lab requires a Configuration Manager 2007 site running the service pack 2

release of Configuration Manager (SMSServer is the site server machine and is

running the SP2 release of Configuration Manager 2007). This lab also requires

at least one Configuration Manager 2007 cl ient (SMSClient is the client

computer) that will be upgraded to Windows 7 using Configuration Manager

operating system deployment for an in place upgrade. It also can use a

Windows 7 reference system (Windows7 is a reference system for this lab),

though it is not required, as a Windows 7 RTM image has already been captured

for this lab to save the time to capture during the lab.

Estimated Time toComplete This Lab

l. Start Windows Explorer, and then display the contents of C:\.Note: The contents of the folder appear. Notice the Capture.iso file, which can now be

burned to a CD for booting on computers to be imaged. In the lab, we will just use the

.iso file without creating an actual CD. As we are in a Hyper-V environment, and

networking is not enabled between the guest and host computers, an .iso has already

been created (identical to the one you just created) and staged on the host

computers hard drive. You will use it in the next exercise.

the previous exercise that likely was not completely captured (unless you let the

capture process complete instead of following the lab directions). Use the pre-

captured image file, Windows7_x64.wim for your image package source.

TheAdd Operating System Image Wizard Generaldialog box appears allowing you

to specify the name, version and comment for the operating system image to be

created.

e. In the Name box, type Windows 7 Enterprisef. In the Version box, type 1.0g. In the Comment box, type Windows 7 64-bit image and then click Next.NOTE: TheAdd Operating System Image Wizard Summarydialog box appears

very large in size (2.7 GB), it will take several minutes to completely distribute to the

distribution point.

You can use the Package Status node under the operating system image package to

identify when the image package has been distributed to the distribution point. This

will take several minutes due to the size of the image. You do not have to wait for it to

complete distribution before you move onto the next procedure. However, the image

must be distributed to the distribution point before the client attempts to run the

advertisement.

Exercise 4

Installing the Image at the Target Client Computer

ScenarioIn this exercise, you will install the Windows 7 image on the Windows XP client computer. You will begin by

verifying the current client configuration.



tasks on:

SMS Client

1. Verify the currentconfiguration

a. Log on as administrator with a password ofpasswordb. On the Start menu, right-click My Computer; and then click Properties.Note: The operating system listed is Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack

3.

c. Click Cancel.

2. Install the operatingsystem image

a. In ControlPanel, start ConfigurationManager.Note: The Configuration Manager Properties dialog box appears.

b. Click the Actions tab.Note: The Configuration Manager Properties dialog box displays the available

actions for the client.

about to run.

f. Click Run.Note: An Installation Progress message box appears as the Windows 7 operating

system image is installed on the Windows XP client computer.

It will take a number of minutes for the Windows 7 image to be deployed to the

computer (approximately 60 minutes). It will automatically restart in the middle of

this process. Notice that Windows PE is started and initialized to install the image.

After the system reboots into Window PE, the Installation Properties message box

appears displaying the progress bar for installing the image, you can shut down theWindows XP virtual image and not wait for the image installation process to occur.

If you do cancel the deployment, you can still complete the next exercise to report on

the operating system deployment progress. If you do let the image continue the

installation process, the computer will restart, automatically run through Windows

setup to apply configuration settings, and then finally reboot again into Windows 7.

If you canceled the image deployment, you should skip the following procedure to

validate that Windows 7 has been deployed, and move to to exercise 6.

You have now successfully configured your Configuration Manager site for an OS

image deployment, prepared and captured your Windows 7 reference system, created

If you did allow the client to complete the upgrade to Windows 7, you can then

validate that the client has reported to the Configuration Manager site as a Windows

7 client (can check the clients discovery properties for the operating system). Also, if

you update the membership of the All Windows XP Systems collection, SMSClient

will no longer appear as a member of the collection, as it is no longer running

Windows XP. You will still see it in the All Systems collection, as well as the All

Windows Workstation or Professional Systems collection.
