Is the Sysprep step needed?

We want to to build a new Windows 7 OSD.   We were going to do a build/capture and get the image file that way. Then use that image file when we PXE boot up and build our OSD.  
I have a CM2012 manual that talks about using the SysPrep tool.  Is this step needed in the Task Sequence if we use our method I listed above?
mqh7

The "Prepare OS" step (Prepare Windows for Capture) that is in the task sequence by default will Sysprep the machine.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh846237.aspx#BKMK_PrepareWindowsforCapture
You must have this step before capturing - it is NOT supported to deploy an image that has not been sysprepped first.
I hope that helps,

  • What are the exact steps needed to create a slideshow?

    When I follow the steps indicated in the help section of QT pro, all I get is a one slide only movie! It is a bit frustrating since I purchased this software mostly to be able to create slide shows. Am I missing something? Is there a maximum to the number of pictures that can be used to create one? Thank you kindly in advance for any suggestions that you may have.

    Please give your work flow. Hard to tell were you going wrong without it...

  • I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have.  Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording?  If so, how?  Step by step needed.  Thank you for your time.

    I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have.  Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording?  If so, how?  Step by step needed.  Thank you for your time.

    Did you remove Quicktime X?
    On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
    You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
    I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above.

  • I cannot install, I have taken all the suggested steps, but it still keeps saying error, I need this to help with a college project and I cannot afford to buy anything new. Is there anything I can do to install it properly?

    I have had Photoshop for several days now and for the few days I have tried I just can not install anything what-so-ever. I have taken all of the suggested steps and it didn't do anything to help, it still had some sort of error. I have contacted Adobe, but haven't heard anything.
    I really need this Photoshop for a project that needs to be completed before February. I do not have time or money to buy or exchange for new one.
    I really need help I just don't understand what is going wrong and I really need help!

    I think i know what the problem is here.  You have downloaded the Apple MAC version and trying to install on a Windows system.  If this is so then you will get this error message.
    Try to download the Windows version and then see if it works this time.  Windows and Apple MACS are two different types of operating systems.  Windows is widely used in the market place because of Microsoft's Marketing expertise while Apple MACs is used in the printing industry.

  • What are the steps  needs to be perform to define a data model

    What are the steps  needs to be perform to define a data model
    a.     Information Gathering 
    b.     Hardware & Software
    c.     Structure the Information – MDM
    d.     Transfer into a Physical Model – BW data model
    e.     Explore use of existing model – Business Content

    Hi Siva,
         Very first activity is Proof of concept (POC), here we have to show How BW works for clients Reporting requirement during POC we as BW consultants need to creat some sample BW back end objects and also some reports based on business requirement. This is very crucial stage as Client Judge wethere BW would meet his demands. If every thing is fine then next step is Bidding.
    After Bidding the contract then actual Project intiates. from here we follow ASAP methodology.
    <u><b>
    Project Preparation</b></u>
    Here Senior Consultant would go to Client place for Business Process Transistion and to know in what way the Architectue should be set up so here Basis People will come into picture.
    <u><b>Blue Print</b></u>
    Transistion could be understood by BRD (Business Requirement Documents) BRD states what is exact requirement and it is given by End users.
               By seeeing thr BRD's we as BW consultants must prepare APPlication Design Documents . The Application Design Documents states all the Technical aspects that needs to be performed as BW backend and also as well as Frontend.
    <u><b>Realization Phase</b></u>
      Here as BW consultants we must start confuguring as mentioned in ADD's by taking care of all performance aspects, once all the configuration are done we do Unit testing. unit testing is an activity where we check all the design process wether it running correct or not. After unit testing we move the design objects to Qulaity for Integration Testing.
    <u><b>Testing</b></u>
        Here end user will check all the objects, reports on end to end basis. after integration testing is done then UAT ( User acceptance Testing) would come into picture where user check each process and sign off.
    <u><b>Go live</b></u>
    Here all the object will be moved to Production where end users and power users can start working on the system. intially for some days Development team would be taking care of all support activites there after  it will be transitoned to support team.
    Hope It helps you.
    Assign Points if it usefull
    Regards

  • In the second step of bootcamp, I am supposed to either check the box where it says create a windows install disk, what exactly is this? Do I need to do this?

    In the second step of bootcamp, I am supposed to either check the box where it says create a windows install disk, what exactly is this? Do I need to do this? I have a windows 7 install disk, but I don't know what this means.

    If you already have Windows on a DVD or USB drive, you don't have to tick that option. That's only for people who have Windows on a ISO file and have to burn it into a USB drive

  • Steps needed to import the transport request

    Hello SAP gurus
    I am trying to import a transport request consisting of a packacge into a server. I was able to create this transport request on first server and trying to import it into second server.
    I read many postings on this site and played with STMS_IMPORT, STMS etc.,
    But still can't see the package on the second server.
    I don't know what I need to do on the second server (target) to make it accept this foreign transport request.
    If some one can please point me to a link or document that gives the exact steps involved to do this, I would appreciate it a lot.

    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
                 Identifier 5,1 or later.
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
