No, it’s not officially supported yet, but that shouldn’t stop us from testing the new Windows 7 service pack 1. Here is what I have tested so far, and Yes all the features seems to work right out of the box Smiley

  • First I created a package with the new Service Pack. Nothing fancy, a normal attended installation. The commandline /unattend will show the progress bar during the upgrade and perform a restart. The installation took about 30 minutes in my virtual environment, but it worked.

  • I finally created and captured a new reference image, created a deployment and…….. it works like a charm Smiley

According to my test in the “lab”, Windows 7 SP1 works just fine and can be fully managed by Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 R3. It’s still not supported, until we hear from Microsoft.
