15. Highly automated solution for assessing, migrating and deploying windows server and client operating systems Common toolset and process End-to-end deployment automation support Assess migration readiness Built in reports for minimum and recommended settings Enable dynamic deployment of drivers at runtime Organize, replicate and deploy packages Utilize Windows PnP detection

16. Significant improvements to existing scenarios Increased range of scenario support New machine -Clean install -Wipe and Load -No migration considerations - New or repurposed hardware Wipe-and- load - Target and install new OS to existing H/W - Application reinstall under new OS - Securely save/restore user state & settings Side-by- side - Machine to machine - User and app data migration - Application reinstall -Securely save/restore user state & settings In-place migration - Scripted, targeted OS upgrade - Not wipe and load - Sent as software distribution package Offline with removable media - Install without network - Removable media is source - CD/DVD,USB flash drive - Good for low bandwidth, mobile staff PXE boot - WDS integration, network boot delivered - PXE style delivery - Lite touch, network connection based

18. Core OS deployment mechanism Delivered to clients as policy via MP Sequence of steps to execute Steps prior to deploying new OS Steps in Windows PE to deploy new OS Steps after the new OS is deployed Completely hands-off for full automation of the process Built-in actions provided within product Custom actions command line driven, Vbscript, Batch etc.

19. “Drivers” node Import drivers into this node Set properties on drivers (metadata) Assign drivers to Driver Packages “Driver Packages” node Configuration Manager packages that are copied to DPs Typically group related drivers into one package

20. These are end-to-end times for OS installation. Times are measured from first client reboot to last client displaying desktop. The major limiting factor is TFTP download of the boot image when using multicast to transfer the install image – with the current TFTP server, we’re limited to about 30MB/sec. This means, with 250 clients, we’re spending ~17 minutes downloading the boot image Server was connected at 1Gbps, clients connected at 100Mbps Image size was ~3.5GB 25 clients50 clients75 clients250 clients Multicast Time 29:5932:5736:4456:45 SMB Time29:2543:1657:162:38:26
