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:

· Importing the .wim file captured in the previous step into Configuration Manager 2012 using the Add Operating System Image Wizard as described in Step 5-1: Import the Captured .wim File into Configuration Manager 2012

· 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 5-2: 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 5-3: 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 5-4: Customize the MDT Configuration Files

· Updating the Configuration Manager 2012 distribution points for the Custom Settings package as described in Step 5-5: Update the Distribution Points for the Custom Settings Package

· Customizing the task sequence for the target computer as described in Step 5-6: Customize the Task Sequence for the Target Computer

· Configuring unattended installation of Office Professional Plus 2010 as described in Step 5-7: Configure an Unattended Installation of Office Professional Plus 2010

· Creating a Configuration Manager 2012 application to deploy Office Professional Plus 2010 as described in Step 5-8: Create an Office Professional Plus 2010 Application

· Distributing the Office Professional Plus 2010 application to the distributions points as described in Step 5-9: Distribute the Office Professional Plus 2010 Application

· Making the Office Professional Plus 2010 application available to all users as described in Step 5-10: Make the Office Professional Plus 2010 Application Available to All Users

· Customizing the UDI Wizard configuration file as described in Step 5-11: Customize the UDI Wizard Configuration File for the Target Computer

· Creating a new custom wizard page to collect additional deployment information as described in Step 5-13: Create a New Custom Wizard Page

· Adding controls to the new custom wizard page as described in Step 5-14: Add Controls to New Custom Wizard Page

· Updating the MDT files package that contains the updated UDI Wizard configuration file as described in Step 5-15: Update the Distribution Points for the MDT Files Package
