So, how do you do desktop imaging? I've come up with a number of ways that it could be done, but I've never been in an enterprise that had to deal with it a lot.
Each of them seems to have pros and cons, so I figured it might be time to see what everyone else is doing.
A couple of extras in this are how to deal with security and integrity. I'm guessing the integrity gets handled by the software, but authenticating the user as the user is still an issue. Is a simple password (SSN or something) enough for this?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
- over the local network
- locally by an admin with cd/dvd media
- send the machine to a central management location (via fed-ex or something) to be imaged and returned
- just switch to thin clients
