Step 5: Create and Configure a Task Sequence to Deploy the Target Computer

After the task sequence to deploy the reference computer (WDG-REF-01) finishes, a captured image of the reference computer is stored in \\WDG-MDT-01\Capture$\WDG-REF-01.wim. Now, create a task sequence that will deploy the captured image of the reference computer to the target computer (WDG-CLI-01). When this step is complete, you can deploy the captured image of the reference computer to the target computer.

Create and configure a task sequence to deploy the target computer by:

· Using the Create MDT Task Sequence Wizard to create an MDT task sequence template to deploy the captured image of the reference computer to the target computer as described in Step 5-1: Create an MDT Task Sequence to Deploy the Captured Image.

· Selecting the distribution points for the new packages and images that the Create MDT Task Sequence Wizard creates as described in Step 5-2: Select the Distribution Points for the New Packages and Images.

· Customizing the MDT configuration files for the target computer—specifically, the CustomSettings.ini file—as described in Step 5-3: Customize the MDT Configuration Files.

· Updating the Configuration Manager 2007 R3 distribution points for the Custom Settings package as described in Step 5-4: Update the Distribution Points for the Custom Settings Package.

· Customizing the task sequence for the target computer as described in Step 5-5: Customize the Task Sequence for the Target Computer.
