The Impact
The Tools
But it’s just like desktop deployment, right?
Well, it’s not quite that simple…

Servers have some unique challenges:Needed hardware configuration
BIOS settings, remote management, vendor-specific configuration utilities
Advanced network configuration
Static IP addresses, multiple networkadapters, NIC teaming, TCP/IP off loading,speed/duplex configuration, NLB
More complex disk configuration
Multiple disks, multiple partitions, RAIDcontrollers, OEM configuration partitions,SAN configuration
Servers have some unique challenges:OS configuration is more involved
Role installation and configuration
Settings could greatly affect stability
Security is crucial
Migration processes are different
Upgrades are more common (in somescenarios)
Side-by-side migrations are common
Refresh is rare

Windows Deployment ServicesNew features in Windows Server 2008:
Multicast with an improved algorithmJoin multicast sessions at any time
Flow control and congestion control to improve reliability
Improved TFTP performanceTFTP windowing
Configurable block size
X64 Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)support
Replacement for the venerable BIOS
System Center Configuration Manager 2007
(ConfigMgr 2007)To be released in H2 CY07
Service Pack 1 will be required for full W indows Server2008 support
Significant investments in OS deployment capabilities,task sequencing, integration with W DS
Improves on the SMS 2003 OS Deployment FeaturePack (complete rewrite)
Picks up much of the functionality from ADS

SizeGet used to 1.5GB+ images, expanded to 5GB+
Consider the importance of DVD drives or high-speednetworks
Review hardware requirements
Consider “Server Core”
SetupExclusively image-based, no more text-mode
32- or 64-bit executable
Image on the DVD is Sysprep’d
No more BOOT.INI, uses BCD instead
XML filesUnattend.txt is now Unattend.xml
Sysprep.inf is now Unattend.xml
WINBOM.INI is now Unattend.xml
CMDLINES.TXT is now Unattend.xml (kind of)
Notepad is no longer the preferred editing tool
HAL independenceOne image can support all hardware
No support for non-ACPI hardware

WinPECore part of the deployment process
Available to everyone!
DOS is dead
ImagingFile-based Windows Imaging Format (WIM)images are key
Tools are available to create, modify, mount, deploy,service, etc.
There is no such thing as “i386 source”
Multi-language support (MUI)Windows Server “Longhorn” is language-neutral at i tscore
Multiple language packs available
Languages can be added and removed
LicensingKey Management Service (KMS)
Multiple activation keys (MAK)

SecurityUser access control
BitLocker (including multiple volume support)
Network Access Protection
Servicing and componentizationThe OS is made up of components
Each component exposes its configuration
Patches, service packs, and languages are componentstoo and can be applied offline!
Drivers can be injected just like components
Roles leverage components

Windows Server Deployment SA (WSD)Tying it all together
Based on BDD 2007 (which will continue supporting Vista
and XP deployments, as well as SMS 2003 OSD), toprovide consistent tools for client and server
Leverage the latest tools and technologies
To be released shortly after Windows Server 2008
Three main components:Configuration tools – “Deployment Workbench” MMC
Lite Touch Deployment
Zero Touch Deployment
Two supported operating systems:Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2008
Three scenarios:New computer
Upgrade
