Deploying Windows 7 Using SCCM 2012 R2 n this post we will see the steps for deploying windows 7 using SCCM 2012 R2. In my previous post we saw the steps to capture a reference operating system (Windows 7) using SCCM 2012 R2. Note that this post is different from the one which shows the steps to build and capture the operating systems using SCCM 2012, we will not be using build and capture approach here rather we will capture a reference operating system, i.e. capture windows 7 using SCCM 2012 R2 and we will deploy the same using SCCM 2012 R2 in the this post. We will be creating a device collection first and then we will import the computer information to this device collection. One the computer is added to the collection we will create task sequence, configure it and deploy it the device collection.

So in my previous post we had successfully captured the windows 7 operating system and now we will be deploying the captured image using SCCM 2012 R2. To do that lets create a blank virtual machine without any operating system installed on it. Note down the MAC address of the virtual machine (the same applies to a physical box too).

Lets create a new device collection. This is to add the computer to this collection for which the operating system is going to be deployed. Right click on Device Collections, click Create Device Collection.

Provide the name for this collection , set the Limiting collection to All Systems. Click Next.

We will not define any rules for this collection. Click on Next. Since we will be creating a collection without defining any rule, the wizard prompts that the collection will not contain any members until we define a membership rule. On the pop up box click on OK.
