Windows 7 and Office 2010 Deployment using SCCM 2007 SP2

Hi Experts Exchange,

I will be working on a big project for a client where I will be deploying Windows 7 and Office 2010 using SCCM 2007 SP2.

The client PCs are currently Windows Vista SP2 and 32 bit builds. What I need to know is can I do an upgrade from Windows Vista or do I have to do a migration?

Also, I need to know how I can do this using SCCM 2007 SP2. I would appreciate as much detail as possible.

Thank you Experts Exchange.


Kind regards,

The answer is yes you can do an upgrade, but my recommendation is a clean install.  I tested an upgrade and the computer was not as responsive as one with a clean install.  As for the secod half I have not gone this route on roll outs so I will defer to other experts.

Migration would be better than an upgrade.  
Are your user profiles and settings stored locally on the machines or are they roaming profiles?

@ Kezzi, thank you for your comment.

Yes, the user profiles are stored locally.

What I need to know is in as much detail is how to do this with SCCM 2007, deploying the new OS and also Office 2010.

I can tell you how to deploy them, but I wouldnt be the best person to tell you how to capture existing user profiles from the system and migrate them onto the windows 7 image as we dont do that in our environment.   There are plenty of documents on the net about how to do this, and you would need to research which method would be best for you as there are loads of ways of doing user state migration and it depends on the tools you have as well.

Have you created OS images before?  Have you deployed OS images from SCCM?  Have you created Task Sequences?  Have you packaged Office 2010 already into SCCM?
