Re: RE: Win7 and WDS automated deployment

2010-10-15 Thread Tony Patton 
It's definitely worth looking into.  At my last place we used it to deploy
XP, but its geared more towards Vista/7. It still uses WDS to pxe boot, but
after that its all handled by mdt, definitely worth the time to set it up.
Not that there's a lot too it.

The advantage that it gave us was the ability to use 1 xp image and not have
to worry about different images for different models.  I brought the ghost
image count down from 8 to 1 in mdt.

Haven't ever looked at it, this has to be done by the weekend:(
Worth looking into when I have time? I have only ever used WDS alone...

No, but it's been so long since this I did this, I had to re-read and you do 
need to automate both stages.

The chm that comes with the AIK is pretty clear in what it requires to fully 
automate the setup and I have done this with vista numerous times but the boot 
image was automated as well.

Is it expected that if you don't automate the boot image as well, even if you 
have the applicable WinPE section that wipes the disk/creates partition scheme 
that it gets ignored?

What's the supported way to not automate the boot portion, but automate the 
image only instead? Or do I have to make a boot image for every source image 
such that when I choose which to boot from, its automated from there on out?

Thanks!

The chm that comes with the AIK is pretty clear in what it requires to
fully automate the setup and I have done this with vista numerous times

Is it expected that if you don't automate the boot image as well, even

What's the supported way to not automate the boot portion, but automate
