In this post we will see how to deploy Windows 10 Enterprise using SCCM. If you have Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager in your environment or higher version that that, you will most likely want to use it to deploy Windows 10. In this post we will cover the steps to deploy windows 10 using SCCM. If you are thinking if an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 is possible, then yes you can also upgrade to Windows 10 with System Center Configuration Manager which i will be covering in a separate post. You can use a System Center Configuration Manager task sequence to completely automate the process.
Before you start, ensure that you have Windows 10 iso file extracted to a folder. In my case I have extracted Windows 10 files to a folder.
Launch the Configuration Manager console, click on Software Library, click Operating Systems, right click on Operating systems images and click on Add Operating System Image.
Specify the path where the install.wim is present. Click Next.
Provide some details for the operating system image. Click Next.
Complete the remaining steps and click close. After this step, ensure that you have distributed the OS to the distribution point.
Launch the Configuration Manager console, click on Software Library, expand Overview, expand Operating Systems, right click Task Sequences and click Create Task Sequence.
Choose Build and capture a reference operating system image. Click Next.
Provide a name to the Task Sequence and choose the boot image. Click Next.
Specify a local administrator password and click Next.
Decide if you want to include software updates during deployment, click Next. Complete the rest of steps and complete the TS wizard.
Since we had chosen build and capture OS method, I really don't want to capture the OS. I just want to deploy it to a VM. We will disable the "Capture the Reference Machine" step in the TS. I am deploying the Windows 10 OS to a virtual machine so I have disabled the Apply Device Drivers step. If you are deploying the TS to a computer or laptop then please import the device drivers and then deploy the OS.
Deploy the Task Sequence to All Unknown computers collection.
Press F12 to boot from the network. The OSD process now begins.
Choose the Task Sequence and click Next.
Monitor the OSD process by opening smsts.log file.
Wait for the Windows 10 to get installed.
There you go. We have installed Windows 10 successfully.
I was wondering if there is a way to install windows this way but come up to the OOBE like a standard windows installation? I'm trying to use a provisioning package.
I know this is an old post but I want to ask if this method can be used to mass deploy? I mean, is it necessary to capture a reference image at all? can I just create a task sequence like what you did here, then add a couple of apps and some updates, then use that to deploy to many machines?
yes the administrator account is disabled when you install windows 10 for the first time.
How we can enable account?
How we can enabled the same? or any other option it automatically enabled after the Windows 10 Deployment?
I am not able to log in into system Its show me Administrator account has been Disabled.
I ma using VLSC downloaded ISO.
My SCCM system do have Boot Image version 10.0.14393.0. Does it capable to make capture media and deploy newest windows OS? Is there anyway to update Boot Image?
What is the ADK version and SCCM version ?.
0x80220014" while trying to install and capture the Windows 10 image.
I have replied in the forums.
Thank you very much for this, everything works apart from that once deployed the Region & Language is English (United States) even though my Windows is en-GB?
I did your step by step guide and deployed Windows 10 to 3 virtual client and 1 surface pro 4.
Unfortunatly in all 4 devices, the content cannot be somehow downloaded in the software center. The package is appears in the software center, but it just says "Downloading (0% complete)".
Somehow the files cannot be downloaded it seems. DO you have any idea?
Hi, I want to backup the all user data and profile, then perform a clean windows deploy as you did, and finally restore all user data and profile. Do you know how can i do that?
I have a problem after installing my windows drive letter is X you have the solution?
You must create a new task variable. Call it Preserve Drive letter Place it after Partition Disk variable and set settings as seen in picture. This worked for us!
