Creating OS image on USB
Today's fun is to use SCCM to create a USB drive with Windows 7 image installed.
The existing USB has become corrupt so I want to copy an image to it. I already have the task sequence so should be a piece of cake.

First obstacle is the USB is not recognised, so am assuming I have to format it first. But what as? Going for FAT as my first attempt. Worked and now SCCM can see it.
Using both distribution points.
Task sequence media information
Media type: USB flash drive
USB drive: E:\
Protect media with password: Yes
Task sequence: LSA00059-Install Dell 755 Win7SP1 Ent x86+Apps V3 8/9/11
Distribution point(s): SLSASCCM01
Didn't work- missing operating system message.
So now make USB active

run DiskPart from cmd line
list disk to get disk number
Select Disk X
clean
create partition primary
active
Format fs=FAT32 quick
assign
USB is now ready to accept image from sccm

Deploying Publisher 2010
So first up I want to push out MS Publisher 2010 with SCCM.
Using volume licence I download the media and have the keys.
now run the istaller to generate a MSP file
setup /admin
place the resulatant MSP file in the Setup folder of your install media (on the SCCM server) under the updates directory.
once you create the MSP, run this command:
setup.exe /adminfile CUSTOM.MSP
or
start run msiexec /p "\\SHARENAME\FILE.msp"

Begining my adventures in SCCM
Lucky me, I have just adopted SCCM and the expectation that it will work just like the advertisements say it will from day one. Unfortunately I can't find the magic wand so will be learning as I go. I figure that I will document as I go so I can refer back in the future. Over time I hope this will become a living how-to manual for myself. Most of what I have learnt is from other web sites so this is my way of putting a little back into the collective knowledge of the internet.
