long time fan.. old time user. With all the new tools, I'm confused on what direction to go concerng deploying windows 7 machines to work users? Is everyone pushing out windows 7 OS, and then installing the apps after the fact? With XP I used sysprep, mass storage drivers, PXE and cloning software to get what I needed done. For me instaling the engineering software or the accounting software takes the longest time, which is why I liked some sort of imaging based software in the overall solution. When I read about deployment took kit, and automated tool kit I don't see anything that says about all those custom softwares, settings, etc.. but then I read about capturing images. I'm not sure if people are using MSI, batch files to install tird party apps, or a manual way. I don't reinvent the wheel, so i'm looking to try and copy someones genius Justin

would someone point me to the updated version of IcemanND's software mucho gracias

great, I will start with the videos and the blog and go from there thanks

in what ways would they more flexible?

been a long time. This forum was my home for a few years. We got 100 laptops and 100 desktops all running XP. We use a Symantec ghost solution, with sys-prep and two images (single core vs or dual core) The suits are buying new dell laptops E6500, and our oldest desktop will be a Optiplex 755. I kinda feel the system is place can be duplicated with windows 7, but maybe a process is better and more fun to put in place? Was wondering what tried and true methods people are using to deploy Windows7?
