Note: Another advantage in using a virtual machine as a reference system is the ability to use checkpoints or snapshots.
Checkpoints store the exact state of a virtual machine at the specified point of time. A virtual machine can be easily
reverted to this state, if necessary. For example, the Sysprep process makes irreversible changes to the reference
system, so creating a checkpoint gives you the ability to restore to a specific point in time.
Launch the Windows Deployment Wizard via the litetouch.wsf script using the following steps:
1. Open an Administrative PowerShell session.
2. Enter the following command to map a network drive to the deployment share and press Enter:
net use * \\sp3deploy.contoso.com\labdeploymentshare /user:sp3deploy\mdt
This is done to specify the user account which will be used to connect to the share. In this command
sp3deploy.contoso.com is the name of the deployment server, labdeploymentshare is the name of the
deployment share, and mdt is the name of the user account for MDT deployments. These values should be
replaced with the values used in your environment.
3. Enter the following command to launch the Windows Deployment Wizard and press Enter:
cscript \\sp3deploy.contoso.com\labdeploymentshare\Scripts\LiteTouch.WSF
4. The Windows Deployment Wizard presents a series of prompts:

Task Sequence – Select the capture task sequence that was created in the Creating a Capture Task Sequence
section of this chapter and click Next.

Capture Image – Specify the desired location for the captured image to be placed, along with the name of
the image to be created, as shown in Figure 4.22. The default location is the Captures folder of the
deployment share, where the required write permissions were added earlier in this chapter. Click Next.
