Summary
In this session with Bernardo, the focus is on setting up and deploying Windows 11 23H2 using SCCM in a Proxmox lab environment. Despite the availability of Windows 11 24H2, Bernardo opts for the 23H2 version due to its stability. The tutorial walks through the steps of importing an operating system and creating a task sequence.
Highlights
- 🖥️ Choosing Windows 11 23H2: Although Windows 11 24H2 is available, Bernardo finds 23H2 more stable for deployment.
- 🗂️ Setting Up SCCM: Bernardo demonstrates the process within his Proxmox lab, focusing on the SCCM server setup.
- 📁 Creating a Sources Folder: A new folder is created on the D drive to organize operating system files and packages.
- 🔒 Advanced Sharing Configuration: The new folder is shared with full control but hidden using a dollar sign in the share name.
