# Create a task sequence with Configuration Manager and MDT
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Applies to**
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows 10
|
||||
|
||||
In this topic, you will learn how to create a Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager task sequence with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) integration using the MDT wizard. Creating task sequences in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager requires many more steps than creating task sequences for MDT Lite Touch installation. Luckily, the MDT wizard helps you through the process and also guides you through creating the needed packages.
|
||||
|
||||
For the purposes of this topic, we will use two machines: DC01 and CM01. DC01 is a domain controller and CM01 is a machine running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, both of which are members of the domain contoso.com for the fictitious Contoso Corporation. For more details on the setup for this topic, please see [Deploy Windows 10 with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit](deploy-windows-10-with-the-microsoft-deployment-toolkit.md).

## <a href="" id="sec02"></a>Edit the task sequence
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
After you create the task sequence, we recommend that you configure the task sequence for an optimal deployment experience. The configurations include enabling support for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), dynamic organizational unit (OU) allocation, computer replace scenarios, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
1. On CM01, using the Configuration Manager Console, select **Task Sequences**, right-click **Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM** task sequence, and select **Edit**.
|
||||
|
||||
2. In the **Install** group, select the **Set Variable for Drive Letter** action and configure the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* OSDPreserveDriveLetter: True
|
||||
|
||||
>[!NOTE]
|
||||
>If you don't change this value, your Windows installation will end up in E:\\Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
3. In the **Post Install** group, select **Apply Network Settings**, and configure the Domain OU value to use the **Contoso / Workstations** OU (browse for values).
|
||||
|
||||
4. In the **Post Install** group, disable the **Auto Apply Drivers** action. (Disabling is done by selecting the action and, in the **Options** tab, selecting the **Disable this step** check box.)
|
||||
|
||||
5. After the disabled **Post Install / Auto Apply Drivers** action, add a new group name: **Drivers**.
|
||||
|
||||
6. After the **Post Install / Drivers** group, add an **Apply Driver Package** action with the following settings:
|
||||
|
||||
* Name: HP EliteBook 8560w
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* Restore state from another computer
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## <a href="" id="sec03"></a>Move the packages
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
While creating the task sequence with the MDT wizard, a few operating system deployment packages were created. To move these packages to the OSD folder, take the following steps.
|
||||
|
||||
1. On CM01, using the Configuration Manager Console, in the Software Library workspace, expand **Application Management**, and then select **Packages**.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Select the **MDT** and **Windows 10 x64 Settings** packages, right-click and select **Move**.
|
||||
|
||||
3. In the **Move Selected Items** dialog box, select the **OSD** folder, and click **OK**.

# Use the MDT database to stage Windows 10 deployment information
|
||||
|
||||
This topic is designed to teach you how to use the MDT database to pre-stage information on your Windows 10 deployment in a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express database, rather than include the information in a text file (CustomSettings.ini). You can use this process, for example, to add the client machines you want to deploy, specify their computer names and IP addresses, indicate applications to be deployed, and determine many additional settings for the machines.

MDT can use either SQL Server Express or full SQL Server, but since the deployment database isn't big, even in large enterprise environments, we recommend using the free SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express database in your environment.
|
||||
|
||||
>[!NOTE]
|
||||
>Be sure to enable Named Pipes when configuring the SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express database. Although it is a legacy protocol, Named Pipes has proven to work well when connecting from Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) to the SQL Server database.
|
||||
|
||||
## <a href="" id="sec02"></a>Create the deployment database
|
||||
|
||||
The MDT database is by default created and managed from the Deployment Workbench. In these steps, we assume you have installed SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express on MDT01.
|
||||
|
||||
>[!NOTE]
|
||||
>Since SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express runs by default on a separate instance (SQLEXPRESS), the SQL Server Browser service must be running, and the firewall configured to allow traffic to it. Port 1433 TCP and port 1434 UDP need to be opened for inbound traffic on MDT01.
|
||||
|
||||
1. On MDT01, using Deployment Workbench, expand the MDT Production deployment share, expand **Advanced Configuration**, right-click **Database**, and select **New Database**.
|
||||
2. In the New DB Wizard, on the **SQL Server Details** page, enter the following settings and click **Next**:
|
||||
1. SQL Server Name: MDT01
|
||||
2. Instance: SQLEXPRESS
|
||||
3. Port: <blank>
|
||||
4. Network Library: Named Pipes
|
||||
3. On the **Database** page, select **Create a new database**; in the **Database** field, type **MDT** and click **Next**.
|
||||
4. On the **SQL Share** page, in the **SQL Share** field, type **Logs$** and click **Next**. Click **Next** again and then click **Finish**.

|
||||
|
||||
## <a href="" id="sec03"></a>Configure database permissions
|
||||
|
||||
After creating the database, you need to assign permissions to it. In MDT, the account you used to run the deployment is used to access the database. In this environment, the network access account is MDT\_BA.
|
||||
1. On MDT01, start SQL Server Management Studio.
|
||||
2. In the **Connect to Server** dialog box, in the **Server name** list, select **MDT01\\SQLEXPRESS** and click **Connect**.
|
||||
3. In the **Object Explorer** pane, expand the top-level **Security** node, right-click **Logins**, and select **New Login**.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
4. On the **Login - New** page, next to the **Login** name field, click **Search**, and search for **CONTOSO\\MDT\_BA**. Then in the left pane, select **User Mapping**. Select the **MDT** database, and assign the following roles:
|
||||
1. db\_datareader
|
||||
2. public (default)
|
||||
5. Click **OK**, and close SQL Server Management Studio.

|
||||
|
||||
## <a href="" id="sec04"></a>Create an entry in the database
|
||||
|
||||
To start using the database, you add a computer entry and assign a description and computer name. Use the computer's MAC Address as the identifier.
|
||||
1. On MDT01, using the Deployment Workbench, in the MDT Production deployment share, expand **Advanced Configuration**, and expand **Database**.
|
||||
2. Right-click **Computers**, select **New**, and add a computer entry with the following settings:
|
||||
1. Description: New York Site - PC00075
|
||||
2. MacAddress: <PC00075 MAC Address in the 00:00:00:00:00:00 format>
|
||||
3. Details Tab / OSDComputerName: PC00075

# Use the MDT database to stage Windows 10 deployment information
|
||||
|
||||
This topic is designed to teach you how to use the MDT database to pre-stage information on your Windows 10 deployment in a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP1 Express database, rather than include the information in a text file (CustomSettings.ini). You can use this process, for example, to add the client machines you want to deploy, specify their computer names and IP addresses, indicate applications to be deployed, and determine many additional settings for the machines.
