Deploying the Operating System Task Sequence to the Client
This section outlines how to make the component packages available on the SCCM distribution point. It also shows how
to deploy to existing Surface Pro 3 SCCM clients and to new Surface Pro 3 devices.
Updating Distribution Point Components
Before the deployment can be run on client systems, the components that were prepared through the process in this
chapter must be updated for the distribution point. If the distribution point is not updated with these components, the
deployment will look for resources that are not available.
To update the distribution point, follow these steps:
1. In SCCM, open the Software Library.
2. Expand the Operating Systems folder and select Task Sequences.
3. Select the deployment task sequence.
4. Select Distribute Content from the Home ribbon to open the Distribute Content Wizard.
5. The Distribute Content Wizard presents as series of steps:

General – The content field will show the deployment task sequence, click Next.

Content – Dependencies for the deployment task sequence will appear, including the selected image and
packages. Click Next.

Content Destination – The distribution point where the content will be made available must be specified on
this page with this procedure:
o Click the Add drop down menu and then select Distribution Point.
o Select the desired distribution point from the list and click OK.

Summary – The selected options will appear, click Next.

Progress – A progress bar is displayed during the content distribution process.

Completion – Success will be reported, click Close.
Deploying to Existing SCCM Clients
Note: Before deployment is run, it is a good idea to ensure that your Surface Pro 3 devices are configured in a collection.
A collection is a method of organizing devices. Task sequence deployment is performed by collection.
Now that the content is available, the deployment can be initiated from SCCM to a managed client. To run the
deployment task sequence on a target managed system, follow these steps:
1. In SCCM, open the Software Library.
2. Expand the Operating Systems folder and select Task Sequences.
3. Select the deployment task sequence.
4. Select Deploy from the Home ribbon to open the Deploy Software Wizard.
5. The Deploy Software Wizard presents a series of steps:

General – The task sequence will appear in the Task sequence field, click Browse next to the Collection field
to specify the collection where the task sequence will be run as shown in Figure 6.16. Click Next.
