Microsoft BDD 2007

Notes to self as I navigate the Microsoft BDD 2007 Process

Trying to build a Reference image I ran into the Red Screen of Death on boot after building a Lite Touch image for Capture.

Building Reference image using Lite Touch – Deploy.cab issue
Error message:
Deploy.cab is older than Windows Source files. using older versions of Sysprep is not Supported.

The solution was to download a newer set of Deployment tools from Microsoft than ship with XP SP2, extract them and copy to the build server.
