HP ProLiant SCCM 2012 Integration Kit (v 2013.02.0) User Guide
4 Deploying Windows Server to ProLiant servers
Deploying Windows Server follows the standard SCCM OSD methodology—create a task sequence,
configure the task sequence, and deploy the task sequence to a collection. To simplify the process
of deploying to server hardware, HP provides a wizard to help you create a task sequence for
deploying Windows Server to ProLiant servers.
To deploy Windows Server to a ProLiant server:
1. Ensure that the following conditions are met:
• WDS and SCCM are properly configured for use with OSD and PXE functionality.
• A purpose-specific collection exists.
• One or more Operating System Images have been added and copied to the appropriate
distribution points, and are available via a package share.
• The Hardware Inventory Client Agent is scheduled and configured to collect IDMIF and
NOIDMIF files.
• The logged in user has administrator level privileges, including but not limited to, creating
log files in the AdminConsole subtree and reading the registry.
• The logged in user has SCCM privileges to the software packages, boot image, operating
system image, and driver packages.
• If you are using SNMP for server management, the SNMP read community string is set
in your domain policy.
• That only one network adapter is enabled for PXE boot on the target servers.
2. Create a new task sequence.
To open the wizard, on the Software Library pane, select Operating Systems→Task Sequences
and then click Create HP ProLiant Deployment Task Sequence in the ribbon bar.
