SCCM OSD & OSD Scenarios

-
Hi guys,

This time we will talk about  SCCM Operating system deployment (OSD). 

 So first thing 

What is SCCM OSD ?



Operating system deployment




Provides a tool to create operating system images. You can then use these images to deploy them to computers that are managed by Configuration Manager and to unmanaged computers, by using PXE boot or bootable media such as a CD set, DVD, or USB flash drives.

Components of  Operating system deployment (OSD)
  • Boot Images
  • Computer Association
  • OS images
  • OS Install Packages
  • Task Sequence 
  • Drivers 
  • Drivers Packages
on my fingers If i start to count tasks which i can do,
  1. Boot images creation ( Using MDT Integration ) + Recreation Using WAIK
  2. Computer Association B/w One or More
  3. OS deployment from OS Packages (Only build Scenario)
  4. OS deployment from OS Packages & Capture Images( Build + Capture )
  5. OS deployment from OS Images (Capture Images + Install.Wim's from OS packages) (Image Deployment)
  6. Standalone media creation
  7. Task sequence : is a part of OSD Process but can be used as for Custom tasks as well like Software install, Running Scripts,Partition Creation, Running Command Lines & lot more      Almost all task sequence options you can use independently.
  8. Divers installation
  9. Drivers Packages Installation
Now Which are the Operating Systems Deployment Scenarios 

Operating System Deployment Scenarios

  • Refresh Computer. This is when a user has a computer with files, settings, and applications. We will be installing the new operating system to that existing computer and assuming the same user keeps that computer. In this case, we try to keep user files and settings locally on that computer to save time, storage, and network bandwidth. Some refer to this as an "in-place wipe and load" (without actually wiping the user's data) or loosely as "upgrading" a computer.
  • Replace Computer. This is when the user is getting a new computer or a computer is reassigned from another user and the user data and settings need to move off the old computer through some method and onto the new computer. This scenario tends to take the most time compared to Refresh Computer and New Computer. Some refer to this as "side-by-side" migration, but it isn't necessary for the computers to be physically near each other or otherwise connected in this scenario.
  • New Computer. This is when there is no requirement to migrate pre-existing user data or settings. New Computer is used for a new hire or for a secondary computer, or if an old computer was lost or damaged and user data was not previously backed up. Some refer to this as "bare metal" deployment, but in most cases there is some OEM preinstalled operating system we will be replacing. 


I hope you will find it helpful

Cheers......

Hi Guys... This post is all about Windows Deployment service WDS and its Errors and solutions. WDS is used to deploy Operating System Images and also is SCCM OSD Component. Many times we all have faced WDS issues and errors. Following are Some of Issues and their solutions Error 10048 Description: The Windows Deployment Services Server service terminated with service-specific error 10048 This issue occurs if the following conditions are true: ·          The DHCP server and the WDS server are installed on the same computer. ·          The  Do not listen on port 67  option is  NOT  enabled in the DHCP tab. Cause When the DHCP server and the WDS server are installed on the same computer, the WDS Service tries to use the port 67. However, the DHCP server already uses this port. Solution: Method 1 At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: wdsutil /set-Server /UseDhcpPorts:No Method 2 1.       Click  Start , click

Hyper-V Questions and answers !

Hyper-V Questions and answers ! VIRTUAL MACHINE TECHNOLOGY Q.   What is virtual machine technology? A.    Virtual machine technology applies to both server and client hardware. Virtual machine technology enables multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single machine. In particular, Hyper-V, a key feature of Windows Server 2008 R2, enables one or more operating systems to run simultaneously on the same physical system. Today, many operating  systems are supported by Virtual PC 2007, Virtual Server 2005, and Hyper-V. Q.   What is virtual machine technology used for? A.    Virtual machine technology serves a variety of purposes. It enables hardware consolidation, because multiple operating systems can run on one computer. Key applications for virtual machine technology include cross-platform integration as well as the following: Server consolidation. If several servers run applications that consume only a fraction of the           avail

DHCP, WDS, PXE Boot and Common Issues

Hi Guys, Again i am back with very common information about DHCP,WDS & PXE and issues troubleshooting and their solutions. DHCP, WDS, and PXE are the main and needed components which plays very important role in SCCM OSD. They function and provide a very cool and automatize the OS installations (Network based). So why is the Need? DHCP : DHCP offers automatic ip address assigning functionality to machines at both booting state and online state. DHCP Scope options are one main key component. WDS : WDS offers the PXE functionality (Not SCCM) for network based OS installation (boots machine in to windows installation mode from network) So when we install the SCCM PXE service Point on WDS Server, It just overrides the settings of WDS PXE. Now Common PXE Boot Issues: ·         PXE-E53: No boot filename received   ·         PXE-T01: File not found ·         PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File not Found   ·         PXE-E55 Proxy DHCP Service did no
