Back to main menu

Parts 8 -12 described how to create a complete OSD solution. Part 13 now describes the process of actually building the computers.

Remember that our task sequence has been deployed to "Unknown Computers". If your computer is already known to Config Mgr you must first delete it from the database. It could help if you first ran the Config Mgr report to locate a particular MAC address


Turn on computer and press F12 for network boot (or for one time boot menu)

Boot from Network Controller





When PXE point is located via DHCP you are prompted to press F12 to continue. You don't have much time here (this is a BIOS issue - not Config Mgr) so press F12 quickly



Boot image is downloaded and the computer restarts into Windows PE



Enter your PXE password


Choose your task sequence


Double click on OSDComputerName


Enter required computer name and click OK


Click Next to continue (no further input is required)


Drive is formatted



Image file is downloaded
