Disjoin your domain before continuing if necessary.You must have the same OS you’re trying to capture on the “reference” computer loaded into MDT – if your source computer is running Windows 7 Enterprise with Service Pack 1 x64 then that DVD/OS must be loaded into MDTFor these instructions the computer running MDT will be referred to as \\MDT1 and the deployment share will be \Deploymentshare$These instructions will not include hitting “Next”, etc. unless that is the only action on a screenPrepare your “reference” computer by installing your Operating System and any other customizations you will want.
