SCCM OSD and MDT 2012 - Task Sequence query

Question

Hi All
I have single server SCCM 2012 R2 server with MDT 2013 successfully integrated. I'm looking to create a 'Sysprep and Capture' type Task Sequence within SCCM, so that this can be done via PXE rather than SCCM's more manual 'Capture Media' method.  Just
wondering if anyone has thoughts on this, experience, pointers etc?
Couple of options that look possible are:
MDT Toolkit Package - include in SCCM based Task Sequence.  Would it then be fairly easy to mimic ts steps detailed in MDT's existing 'Sysprep and Capture' TS, but within SCCM?
SCCM TS Steps - I've seen there are a number of TS Steps that look like they may enable OS Capture, but if so, bit confused there isn't more documented \ blogged on this kind of TS, would have thought this was a common requirement for a
SCCM TS? (TS Steps of interest within SCCM: 'Prepare Windows for Capture' and 'Capture Operating System Image')
Any assistance much appreciated!
Kind Regards
Andrew

There is a bit of debate about the best way to capture reference images.  Check out this good blog that reviews the options:

Having said that, you can certainly create a capture task sequence in SCCM.  If you choose to create a new task sequence,you should see a build and capture option.  Simply create a build and capture task sequence and then remove the build steps. 
You will be left with:
I've used this method in certain cases.
Or as you said, if you are integrated with MDT, you can create an MDT task sequence to do the capture or add MDT steps as needed.
Hopefully that helps!
