What's going on guys it is Bernardo and today is all about deploying Windows 11 within your
SCCM.
So let's get right into it.
Okay, so today is all about importing and pushing out windows 11 within your SCCM.
Now the version of SCCM that I'm running within my testing lab is 2107.
Right?
So let's get right into it.
So the first thing that we need to do is go inside this website.
I will place these links at the bottom at the description part of the video so don't
freak out.
And once you're here, we're going to locate the part where it says download Windows 11
disk image and we're going to click on the drop down menu and pick windows 11 and then
click on download.
It's going to take you here we need to click on the drop down menu to pick our language.
Once you pick your language we are going to pick on confirm it's going to take you here.
From here we are going to click on 64 bit download.
Once you do that, it's going to download the ISO file.
Now because I'm using Internet Explorer, I need to save it so I'm going to click on that
arrow and click on Save As and I'm going to drop my ISO within the downloads folder.
So click on Save.
Now once it's done we are going to open up that folder and there goes our windows 11
64 bit ISO file it is around five point 12 gigs so it's a pretty huge file now the next
thing that we're going to do is right click on the file and we are going to mount it.
Now once we mount it, we need to copy these files locally into our SCCM server.
Now I already created a folder called Windows 11 x64.
And it's actually located within my SCCM server sources, OSD, OS, OS images and Windows 11
x64.
So what I'm going to do is basically copy and paste all those files inside that folder.
Okay, once we're done, the next thing that we need to do is double check and make sure
you are running the latest and greatest Windows ADK.
Now the one that I have within my SCCM server is version 19041.
And that's not the latest one.
So what we need to do is download the latest one that's going to support Windows 11.
So I will provide the link for you guys to go directly here.
And what we need to do is download the Windows ADK and the Windows PE and once that's done,
it depends on where you drop it for me I drop it inside the downloads folder and there goes.
Now one of the things I do not like about ADK is that you have to manually uninstall
what you have within your server.
So go inside Control Panel, pick your Windows PE, click on uninstall, click yes here and
it's going to start uninstalling those features.
And you're going to do the same thing with your windows ADK.
Select it, click on unInstall, click Yes, it's going to remove it and once it's removed
within your server, go back inside that downloads folder or wherever you downloaded those new
windows 11 ADK files and we need to you know install it.
So the first one I like to install is the Windows ADK one so select it, right click
on it run as an administrator.
Pretty self explanatory here.
So
click next here really depends on what you choose.
Once you pick it, click Next.
Accept the license terms.
I left everything as the default and just click on install.
Once it's done, you're going to get this and then close it now go back inside that folder
where you downloaded those files.
Select your Windows PE right click on it run as administrator again, follow the steps click
next here.
Pick your you know pick your option here once you pick it, click Next.
Accept the license terms you only have one thing to install within your Windows PE installation.
So click on install.
It's going to start installing your features.
Once it's done, you're going to get this so close it now once you go inside your control
panel, you're going to see that you are running the latest Windows ADK which is actually version
22000.
Now open up your SCCM console.
I'm going to show you guys which version I'm using.
So I'm going to click on the File tab.
I'm going to go to about Configuration Manager and I'm currently running version 2107.
So version 2107 is one of the core requirements to actually have Windows 11.
Deploy successfully within your SCCM server so make sure you're running the latest version.
Okay, so the next thing that we need to do is go inside software.
Within software.
We're going to go inside operating systems and within the operating system we are going
to select the operating system images.
We're going to right click on that node and click on Add operating system image then we
need to browse to that UNC path where we copied and paste those files into so click on Browse
and I'm going to go inside my Windows 11 64 folder that we created.
And remember I copied and paste all the stuff within that ISO inside this folder.
So we need to go inside sources and locate that install dot WIM file.
Once you locate it click on open now next thing that we need to do is get a check mark
which says by checking the box you are agreeing that when applying this image to a device
bla bla bla so just make sure you check that off.
Next thing that we need to do is check off extract this specific image index, click on
that drop down menu and then pick your windows poison right.
For me.
I'm going to deploy number four index four which is Windows 10 education, and I'm going
to click on next.
Pick your flavor 86 or 64 bit, click on the drop down menu and then pick your language.
Once you're done, click on Next.
From here you're going to give your system image a name a version a comment once you're
done, click on next.
You're going to get a nice little summary next here.
It's going to start exporting that single image inside your SCCM server.
Once it's completed, you get all green checkmarks which is a good thing and then close it.
Now next thing that we need to do from here is we need to select our system image.
Right click on it and we're going to distribute the content.
We're going to click Next here we're going to click on add and we're going to pick DP
and then pick your DP once you pick your DP, click OK.
Click on Next you're going to get a nice little summary so click on Next.
Once it's done, you're going to get a green check mark completed successfully and then
close it now from here before I continue.
I like to wait until the content status basically says in progress and I wait even more until
it says success.
Once I get that green checkmark it basically means I could continue.
So the next thing that we need to do is go inside our task sequence node.
We're going to right click on it and click on create a task sequence now within a create
a new test sequence, I'm going to leave the default which is installed an existing image
package.
You're going to give your task sequence a name and then click on Browse.
And then you're going to pick your boot image.
Once you pick your boot image.
We're going to click on next.
And then it's time for us to pick your image package and we're going to click on Browse.
Now it's time for us to pick our image package so select it and then okay next thing that
I like to do is enable the administrative password provide a password and confirm it.
Make sure you make any other changes within this dialog box.
Once you're done, click on Next if you're joining a workgroup or domain, make sure you
configure it and then click on Next.
For your Configuration Manager client.
This is up to you.
Once you're done, click on next.
If you're doing any state migration configure it here once you're done, click on next.
If you're pushing out updates, make sure you configure it next again, if you're installing
apps, you know configure it within your environment and click Next.
A nice little summary.
click Next here.
It's going to start doing its magic.
Once it's done, you should get this which is a good thing and then just basically close
it.
Now the next thing that we need to do is deploy our task sequence now we're going to select
our task sequence, right click on it and then click on deploy.
I'm going to click on Browse to pick my collection.
You're going to get a warning.
Just click OK.
And then pick your collection now from my collection I'm going to pick all unknown computers
because I want to distribute it throughout a PXE environment.
Once you're done, click OK.
Click Next.
Now from here, it really depends on how you're deploying it for me, I'm going to do it within
a PXE environment.
So I'm going to click on that drop down menu and then pick only media and PXE and then
click on Next.
For scheduling, left it as the default click Next for user experience default next, alerts
default next for the DP section.
I didn't touch anything default.
Click Next, a nice little summary.
Next, it's going to start doing its magic.
Now once everything is done, you're going to get green checkmarks and then you're able
to close it.
And that's it.
Now don't go anywhere because at the end of the video, you're going to see a speed video
of the task sequence actually being pushed out to a virtual machine.
And it worked out with no problem.
I'm super happy about it.
And hopefully you guys enjoy and I'll catch you guys on the next one.
Peace out
