I recently posted the following steps for imaging a system:
Load and configure OS on master machine
Load drivers on master machine
Load applications on master machine
Run sysprep to strip SID from machine
Create image via some resource (Ghost, RIPREP)
Deploy image via some resource (Ghost, RIS)
Everyone seemed OK with those steps, minus the need for sysprep to strip the
SID vs. a smaller utility.
What about the deployment phase? Can I assume there are only three
posibilities for a machine:
1. Boot media that starts the image deployment
2. PXE service that starts the image deployment
3. Some type of agent that exists on the machine to be imaged that can have
the image pushed to it
For a new machine with no OS, what are the options? Boot to PXE or boot
media correct? I can't push an image without intervention to a new machine wo
an OS can I?
