Disable SCCM Install During Task Sequence

Question

Hello,
We have the SCCM client installed on the WIM.  We'd like to disable the SCCM client install as part of the OSD process as it is taking additional time to run and discover it is already installed.  How might this be accomplished?

Answer 1

No, it certainly doesn't save time. It's not about time though, it's about functionality.
Why does the image build process time matter? That's a process you do maybe once every month at the most so time should not matter here.
Are you instead referring to the deployment process being time sensitive? If so, then this isn't a place where you will save time. You'll need to look at other things like network speeds, DP placement, tasks within the deployment TS and how long each is
taking, and perhaps even moving longer running items into the image itself. Honestly though, most time requirements for OS deployment are arbitrary and based on a technician sitting there baby-sitting the process. With OSD, if done correctly, it's fire and
forget -- no baby-sitting needed so does it really matter if it take 45 minutes instead of 40?
