Stand alone media deployment

Proposed Stand alone media deployment

    Hi everyone,

    Currently we have one MDT servers with different deployment shares for different companies. We create the media and then extract the ISO file to flash drives for deployment. Currently we have a flash drive for each company and this is getting to much (currently we have about 5 different builds)

    What would be the best way to go about to get this all on one media, and then just let the technician select the correct task sequence for the build they want o install?

    Thank you in advance.

    You would have to create an HTML Application (HTA frontend) where you can select the preferred operating system image with the help of task sequence variables.

    For example:

      • Option 1 = WIM001
      • Option 2= WIM002
      • Option 3 = WIM003
      • Option 4 = WIM004
      • Option 5 = WIM005

    But this will bring another problem to arise. The maximum disk size for offline deployments I believe is currently positioned at 32 Gb at least for SCCM 2007. I dont know how it currently is for MDT 2012 but I can imagine it is the same.

    So better it would be to use the same sources and reference image and make the company settings variable or make this information selectable (like serial number, which apps to install etc.)

    Keep us posted, and if helpful please rate! Kind regards

    Cant you just create a selection profile and select all the task sequences, and then create a media for that?
