Advertise the task sequence to Unknown Computers-Capturing OS Image

Advertise the task sequence to Unknown Computers-Capturing OS Image

After the Task sequence is created, it has to be advertised to computers to capture the image.

The below steps detail the tasks to be followed when advertising a task sequence.

1. In the SCCM 2007 Console, go to the task sequence that has to be advertised. Right click on the task sequence( here it  is "Windows7 Reference machine") and click Advertise.

2. On the New Advertisement Wizard screen, in the Collection field, click Browse to select the All Unknown Computers collection.

3. To PXE Boot, check the Make this task sequence available to boot media and PXE and then click Next.

4. Schedule:

On the schedule tab, leave the defaults and click next.


5. Distribution Points: On the Distribution points screen, select the Access content directly from a distribution point when needed by the running task sequence. Click Next.


6. Interaction: Since it is not a mandatory advertisement, users will have an option to  run independently and that  option is greyed out. Click Next leaving the default options.
 On the security & summary tabs review and click next. 
Click Close to complete the wizard and the Task sequence is now advertised to the unknown computers.

The advertisement status can be checked through the Advertisement status in the SCCM console and also through the offermgr.log in the SCCM INSTALLATION DIRECTORY\LOGS folder
