How I can deploy Windows ?

The deployment of an operating system is a delicate operation. This affects the workstation but also his user environment. It is therefore important to take his time before making a deployment of a new operating system or a new application.

First and foremost, it is interesting to choose a type of image.

The Thick image used with ghost for example, is to completely install one compûter (operating system, driver, application,…) and then capture this to create a reference image. This type of image has a big advantages: time savings during the deployment and easier ‘profession’ application deployment.
