The Self-service Portal Create Manage Move Perfect for Developers Admins (most of them)

demo Working in the Portal

What’s a “Master” Image? And why should I have one? Reasons not to have = 0 Reasons to have = anything but 0

Master or Ref Image It is much faster Easier to use Minutes instead of hours Easier to use Don’t need to know how to install the OS Perfect with the Self-service portal Developers and testers need to create machines Fast and easy without asking YOU (the Admin) In fact, you must have an image to do this

Master or Ref Image Should be repeatable and automatic Step-by-step Install the OS Add system components Add service packs, hot fixes, agents Add VM additions Blank password!

Creating a Master Image Solution 1 Install it manually and hope to get it the same way as the last time Solution 2 Use unattended files to create the ref images Solution 3 Let the existing deployment solution that you have in place create the images for you

Watch Out for: Windows Server 2003 R2 Windows Server 2003 R2 -64 Needs two CDs and some “work” to be automatic Windows Server 2003 R2 -64 No support for legacy Nic, PXE boot? Single/Multi HAL? Does it matter on a ref image? Agents? OpsMgr, DPM, CCM, 3:party Antivirus? Antimalware? Thick or Thin? PXE or Media?
