Interview with Johan Arwidmark about deployment

Here we go! This is second interview, now with Johan Arwidmark and we talked about deployment... As you can see, Johan have same opinion as me about availability of WinPE ;)

1.) What tools are you missing most in deployment today?

 Multicast, offline image editing (when using SMS OSD), good driver injection tools, support for multiple partition handling (when using SMS OSD) and Windows PE free for all Windows Users…

 

2.) What are your favourite upcoming deployment technologies? SMS v4, Monad, WIM or something absolutely else?

 This would be all technologies using the new WIM format (WDS, SMS v4 and Ximage)

 

3.) What do you think is the biggest problem with deployment today? I mean like non-msi installers, profile migrations etc...

 Windows PE is not available for all Windows customers

 

4.) What are your favourite tools for deployment? I mean everything including 3rd party tools/support tools (IDE...) etc.

 SMS 2003 OSD (with ZTI from BDD 2.5) for clients and ADS 1.1 for servers

# re: Interview with Johan Arwidmark about deployment

Can anyone explain to me the differences between Microsoft Automated
Deployment Services and the SMS 2003 Operating System Deployment Feature Pack?

What are the advantages and disadvantages to using one over the other?
(Note: We are only deploying Servers no Workstations.)

Thank you!
