Thanks everyone. I loaded up WDS and MDT2010 last night. I am sure I will have 
some questions when I get deeper into it.

+100 on WDS and add MDT2010 for your images, just use WDS for the PXE boot.

You can use MDT to capture your current sysprepped image or can create one for 
you.  As you import the drivers for each model you only have 1 image for 
different hardware models.

MDT can be set up as simple or as complex as you want it to be.

I HATE being wrong in a public forum. :)

MDT is fine. It's a no-cost solution accelerator.

I was thinking of MDOP (Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack).

I apologize for any confusion.

Look at Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010. It will give you a platform for 
creating OS and application builds that you can customize to your needs. We use 
MDT's big brother, SCCM 2007's Operating System Deployment, for our most of PC 
builds now.

Note that this is much easier in Windows 7 than it is in XP, as the tool is 
more focused on the current OS (plus Win 7's driver model is much easier to 
work with).

Acronis.

But WDS + WAIK or SCCM + WAIK - they just rock harder.

We've been using WDS for about a year... with some success and some failures.

We believe that our WDS issues stem from a bad server, but we are also looking 
at alternatives.

Anybody have other favorate mass-imaging solutions? Snap Deploy? Ghost 
Enterprise? I'd love to hear what other solutions people are using.

RE: Imaging Computers

[Malcolm Reitz]

Look at Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010. It will give you a platform for
creating OS and application builds that you can customize to your needs. We
use MDT's big brother, SCCM 2007's Operating System Deployment, for our most
of PC builds now.

 

Note that this is much easier in Windows 7 than it is in XP, as the tool is
more focused on the current OS (plus Win 7's driver model is much easier to
work with).
