Various Components of OSD
Task sequence
A task sequence is a series of one or more task steps that can be advertised to Configuration Manager 2007 clients to run user-specified actions. Task sequences are used with Operating System Deployment to build source computers, capture an operating system image, migrate user and computer settings, and deploy an image to a collection of target computers. Task sequences can also be used to run other Configuration Manager 2007 actions, such as deploying Configuration Manager 2007 software packages or running custom command lines.
Task sequence step
A task sequence step is a component of a task sequence and represents a user-specified action that is run on a computer that the task sequence is advertised to. Task sequence steps always run entirely on the target computer.
Image
The image is a collection of files and folders that duplicates the original file and folder structure of an existing computer, including the file and folder structure of the operating system, or that is a file-based replica of a hard disk. An image often contains other files added by the Configuration Manager 2007 administrator. Operating System Deployment supports Windows
Image format (WIM).
Windows Pre installation Environment (Windows PE)
Windows PE 2.0 is a Windows operating system with limited services, built on the Windows Vista operating system platform. Windows PE is the boot image used by Operating System Deployment, and is used only in the pre installation and deployment of Windows operating systems. Configuration Manager 2007 does not support earlier versions of Windows PE.
Windows Image Format file (WIM)
A WIM file represents the file format for an image captured using Operating System Deployment and is a compressed collection of files and folders.
Trace32
A log viewer that provides a way to easily view and monitor log files created and updated by Configuration Manager 2007 clients and servers.
Location of SMSTS log file
The smsts.log file moves around depending on what phase of the installation you are in. Below is a list of the location depending on where you are in the installation process:
Windows PE before HDD format: x:\windows\temp\smstslog\smsts.log
Windows PE after HDD format: x:\smstslog\smsts.log and copied to c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
Full version Windows before SCCM agent installed: c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
Full version Windows after SCCM agent installed: c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
Full version Windows (x64) after SCCM agent installed: c:\windows\sysWOW64\ccm\logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
After Task Sequence has finished running: c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\smsts.log
After Task Sequence has finished running (x64): c:\windows\sysWOW64\ccm\logs\smsts.log
Distribution Point A distribution point is a site system that stores packages for clients to install. Distribution points are required for software distribution and updates, as well as for using advertised task sequences to deploy operating system software.
