Figure 4.21: Capture and Reference Deployment Task Sequences.
Note: It is possible to perform the deployment and capture steps in the same task sequence. To accomplish this, the
task sequence must automate customization to the reference image. However, automation is not possible for some
tasks. Therefore, the task sequence will need to be paused to enable user interaction. MDT includes a script named
LTISuspend.wsf, which pauses a task sequence for this purpose. Refer to the MDT documentation for more information
on this script.
Profile customizations made to the reference system are stored in the local Administrator profile. Examples of some of
these customizations include configuration of the Start Screen and wallpaper. To make these customizations available to
all new users who log onto the deployed computer, the deployment answer file needs to have the CopyProfile setting
configured. The CopyProfile setting is configured in the specialize pass, which is run during the deployment process
rather than the generalize process. See the
Testing the Image section in this chapter for details on including the
CopyProfile setting in a deployment task sequence.
Unlike deploying an image, which needs read-only permissions to the deployment share, capturing an image needs to
write to the Captures folder in the deployment share. Ensure the account specified in the customsettings.ini file has
write permissions to the Captures folder.
Creating an Image from the Reference System
You have now made customizations to the reference system and prepared the capture task sequence to create an image
of the reference system. Now the capture task sequence must be run on the reference system to create that image.
