Lesson 3—Project
1 Key
Your company is
planning an enterprise deployment of Windows 7 to 1,000 workstations, which
include seven different hardware platforms. You have been asked to research the
Microsoft tools and utilities that are available for this project. Please
explain in detail your proposed approach to this deployment project. Also
explain why you have eliminated some of the possible options. Would your
solution change if all of the target computers were identical?
In this scenario,
which involves multiple hardware configurations, using the Windows SIM tool
with an answer file might be the best approach. Answer files automate tasks
such as device driver, format options, and many other Windows parameters that
must be configured during the installation process. Using an answer file does
not eliminate the process of preparing reference computers and gathering images,
but does allow you to provide answers to configuration questions that occur
during installation.
If the hardware
platforms were all identical, Windows Deployment Services would be a good
option for performing the upgrade. On a network that has SCCM installed, the Microsoft
Deployment Toolkit also offers attractive tools.
