Deploying Windows 7 with ConfigMgr 2012
Agenda
► Quick overview of ConfigMgr 2012 enhancements
– The “world” is changing all around me…
► Migrating from ConfigMgr 2007 to ConfigMgr 2012
– How do I get to this new “world”?
► New and enhanced OS deployment capabilities
– Back to familiar and safe surroundings
► Deploying Windows 7
– Putting it all to work
ConfigMgr 2012
Quick overview
Hierarchy changes
• New central administration site
• Should be first site created
• Can’t be added later
• One level of primaries
• One level of secondaries
• Settings and security don’t need
to be defined at the site level
• Can be more granular
• Replication uses SQL instead of
inboxes
• Secondaries need SQL
• Boundaries need to be grouped
• Multiple types too (content vs.
client assignment)
• Collections are global
Application Model
Infrastructure Changes
• Rethink the way software is
delivered
• Lifecycle management
• Designed to be user-targeted
(User Device Affinity)
• Supports dependencies,
supersedence, requirements,
detection, uninstall
• Multiple deployment types,
depending on the situation
• Standard install, App-V, TS
RemoteApp, etc.
• Target the app, let ConfigMgr
pick the deployment type
• Software Catalog for self-service
• Old-style
package/program/advertisement
can still be used, but should be
transitioned
• One type of distribution point
• No more branch DPs
• PXE is a property of the DP,
more scalable
• Server 2003 and later, Vista SP2
and later (x86 and x64)
• Single instance content library
• WebDAV no longer used
• Site servers are 64-bit only
(except DP)
• New console
• Software update improvements
• Auto deployment, groups
• New DCM “Set” capability
• Remote control with Ctl-Alt-Del
• SQL Reporting only
• GUI-based inventory config
• No more SMS_DEF.MOF
ConfigMgr 2012
Quick overview
Plan
• Redesign (flatten)
hierarchy
• Decide how to
implement
application model
Deploy
• Create CAS
• Create one or
more primaries
• Get everything
working
Migrate
• Content (shared?)
• Clients
• Convert to
applications
(optional)
• P2V for existing
site servers or
DPs?
► As with previous versions of ConfigMgr, OS deployment depends on a
properly designed and functioning infrastructure
ConfigMgr 2012
Configuring for OS deployment
► Install site roles
– Server locator point
– Fallback status point
– State migration point
► Configure network access account
– Administration \ Site Operations \ Sites,
then Component Configuration \ Software Distribution \
Network Access Account
► Enable PXE and multicast if needed
– Properties on the distribution point
– Server OSes only
Quick Overview

ConfigMgr 2012
What’s new in OS Deployment?
► Boot image improvements
– Hierarchy-wide boot media
– Unattended OS installation
– Prestart command hooks
► Task sequence improvements
– Preconfigure User Device Affinity
– Support for new application model
– Enhancements to user state migration
► Offline servicing for OS images
ConfigMgr 2012
What’s new in OS Deployment?
► Driver import improvements
– Options for how to handle duplicates
► More PXE distribution point scalability
– Potentially every DP can provide PXE services
► 64-bit task sequence engine
– Everything is now 64-bit on 64-bit OSes, including the
task sequence engine
– This can impact existing task sequences (e.g.
references to SYSNATIVE) so test appropriately
ConfigMgr 2012
Integration of ConfigMgr R3 features
► Prestaged media
– Originally a ConfigMgr 2012 feature, released earlier
with ConfigMgr 2007 R3
– Enhanced in ConfigMgr 2012, with support for the
new features:
• Application model
• Boot image improvements
ConfigMgr 2012
Boot image improvements
► Hierarchy-wide boot image
– One boot image ISO can be used to service clients from any site
– Specify one or more MPs that the clients should talk to
► Unattended OS installation
– If you are using a mandatory advertisement, configure this to
skip the initial OSD wizard
► Prestart command enhancements
– Properties on the boot image make it easier to configure the
command, source files to include
– Easier to make updates to existing boot images:
• Change source files and update DPs
Boot Image
Improvements

ConfigMgr 2012
Task sequence improvements
► Preconfigure User Device Affinity
– New task sequence variables to preconfigure the primary users
of the computer
– Enables installation of applications prior to first logon
– Option to configure acceptance mode (auto, manual, blocked)
► Support for new application model
– Applications can be installed by the task sequence (single or
multiple, static or dynamic)
– Dependencies and prerequisites will be respected
► Enhancements to user state migration
– Supports hardlinks, offline capture
Task Sequence
Improvements
Michael Niehaus
Senior Software Development Engineer
Microsoft
ConfigMgr 2012
The debate: UDA vs. task sequences
► The goal:
– Refresh an existing computer and immediately have
access to all the applications
► The choices:
– Let the task sequence reinstall all the applications
– Target applications to the user so that they all reinstall
themselves
• Task sequence can pre-configure UDA so that apps can install
before the user logs on for the first time
ConfigMgr 2012
The debate: Applications vs. task sequences
► The goal:
– Install complex applications with dependencies,
reboots etc.
► The choices:
– Use a task sequence to lay out the exact steps needed
– Set up the application and dependencies using the
new application model and let ConfigMgr take care of
making it so
ConfigMgr 2012
Offline servicing of images
► Wizard-based approach for patching existing OS images
– Select an image
– Select updates to be applied
– Specify when to do the servicing (e.g. after hours)
► Component-Based Servicing (CBS) images only
– Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7
– Windows Server 2008 SP2, Windows Server 2008 R2
– OS updates only
► Safe processing
– Servicing is done in a temporary folder, copied to the package source when
complete
– A backup of the original WIM is kept
– Distribution points aren’t updated automatically
Offline Servicing of
Images

What about the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit?
► MDT 2012 will be released to support ConfigMgr
2012
– Adds support for new ConfigMgr features
• UDA (user-device affinity)
• New application model
• Boot image enhancements
– Includes a new version of UDI (wizard, designer)
• Customizable wizard (add or remove panes)
• New “replace” wizard
– With continued ConfigMgr 2007 support too
– MDT 2012 ZTI and UDI task sequences can be migrated
from ConfigMgr 2007 to ConfigMgr 2012
