ENGL Imaging Toolkit ™ 5

1. ENGL Imaging Toolkit™ 5

2. Windows Deployment

3. What is Deployment? Not just imaging a machine! • Includes delivery of • Windows operating system • Applications • Configuration • Security • Automated • Requires minimal “attended” time at a machine • Repeatable process so all machines are really the same

4. Windows Deployment ChallengesD.I.Y? • Complexity • Can take months to develop in-house • Hard to support using scripting and FreeWare tools • Seen as a ‘dark art’ • Hands-on time after imaging to customise • Management of devices once deployed

5. ENGL Imaging Toolkit

6. ENGL Imaging Toolkit 5 • What do you need it? • Turn key solution for Windows deployment • Integrates with ZENworks imaging and application installation • Modular = easier to configure, update, and distribute • Create an automated XP or Vista build within a few hours

23. Imaging Integration

24. Imaging Process • Images are restored based on • Device model and type e.g. desktop, laptop, tablet, server • Physical location • Boot media i.e PXE/CDROM/USB Flash drive • User supplied information e.g. department, device owner • Information gathered is stored in ZISD for the lifetime of the device • Special ENGL ZISD attribute • Enables automated re-imaging • Environment is secured and front-ended by Zim • User can login, select a menu option and walk away
