Create Custom XML For OSD In SCCM

Lately I was needed to deploy custom Windows 7 image with SCCM 2012 (2007 should be the same).
In my search over the internet I didn't found any full guide that goes through all the required steps, so I decided to document it.

The requirements was:

·         Upgrade Windows XP with new Windows 7 image.

·         Backup domain profiles only (except My Documents).

·         Do not backup files on drive D.

·         Backup printers.

·         Format hard drive

·         Configure additional language.

·         Move computer to different OU.
