Raffle: SmartDeploy Enterprise – Easy OS deployment – Part 2
By Joseph Moody | No Comments | PermalinkSmartDeploy Enterprise provides a simple yet robust solution to OS deployment. This second of two articles covers the last three steps in the SmartDeploy process: driver packaging, PE media creation, and image deployment.
SmartDeploy is raffling off 50 end-point licenses with 1 year of basic support (value $1610 USD). The deadline for this contest is June 1, 2012. If you want a chance at winning this license, please fill out this form.
SmartDeploy Enterprise is a powerfully simple deployment suite. In fact, it is so simple that the entire process can be summed up in five steps, with steps 1 and 2 being covered in the previous post. In short, the steps are:
- Building the image
- Capturing the image
- Packaging the drivers
- Creating the PE media
- Deploying the image
We have already built and captured our image. Now we face a humongous hurdle with driver management. In nearly every organization, model sprawl reigns. Even in organizations where machines are regularly replaced, some department will buy a make and model that wasn’t previously supported. This is the area where SmartDeploy Enterprise really shines.
