Deploying Windows Vista

Deployment has always been a bit of a headache for Windows networks. CD installs are too slow and cumbersome. Unattended installs are preferable but are complicated because of multiple file formats like unattend.txt, sysprep.inf, winbom.ini, and so on. Disk imaging is popular but requires third-party products from Symantec, Altiris, and others. Plus you can end up spending a lot of time building images for different hardware platforms and rebuilding images when service packs and patches are released.

This article examines the new tools and procedures for deploying Windows Vista and how they can make the administrator's job of rolling out workstations easier.
