I'm trying to image a PC via USB using a MDT captured image. THe OS in in \\deploymentshare\Operatingsystems I've placed the drivers on the root of my USB and loads/installs fine. However, I would like to use an XML that willl automate the process, where on the USB do I put the XML so that it installs using the XML file? Is there any easier approch?

Are you using MDT standalone or SCCM/MDT Integrated? There are alot of options available depending on your needs and tools you are using. You could simply use the waik to generate an unattend.xml file place on the usb key and have the drivers in a location referenced in the XML and they should get installed lduring deployment.

You could although you should be running a server OS with AD,DHCP routing etc... As far as getting MDT setup you should look into more documentation to get more familiar with it. Check the link below you will find various short videos on deploying windows 7 that should help. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/microsoft-deployment-toolkit-building-install-media-for-windows-7.aspx Thanks, BrandonBrandon Linton |http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/brandonlinton/default.aspx | MCTS - SCCM, MDT, AD
