Probably hasn't even been rebooted since I left over a year ago. Side note, the first server I built was a 2008 WDS server it's still chugging along with no issues 6 or so years later and pushing images out with no trouble.

Also all you need is a Windows server license.
It can be responsive to anything it can query and set a variable for from WinPE. It's nice because you can make it do pretty much whatever you want with it and it can be reached in various ways at various boot phases. If I was sticking around to maintain it I could make it far mores streamlines and automated. MDT is great once you get the hang of it nobody else here knows it, and I'm about to leave this job, so I built it in a very simple and easy to maintain way. It's mostly the same as MDT (with the MDT scripts loaded) but harder to get things exactly how I want.
SCCM is pretty cool, but has too much hand holding for my taste. Just brought an MDT/WDS server up here, it's working great (after I manually had to add the EFI PXE response files) had an SCCM test server for awhile I was pushing images from, but they didn't want to go with a prod build because reasons. Not recommended currently, though it was great (still stupidly priced) going even back to when Ghost was a product of Binary Research, and we used it to clone DOS/Win3.x/Win9x systems (yep, it goes back into the mid-90s, when it was a unique product). Used Symantec for mass cloning too, and it worked great until it fell behind the times, and the price was nuts. This is on the condition that you're pretty much using the same drive/partition sizes across all of your systems, but if you are, you're golden. Drag and drop partitions, works amazingly well.įor deployment, Clonezilla and FOG are hard to beat and free. I love Macrium for simple one-off cloning. It depends on whether you're mass-deploying, or doing a rescue clone of a bad system (in which case, I highly recommend doing a sector-by-sector backup of the failing drive rather than a direct clone, as an intermediary step). Have used Symantec Ghost Corporate back in the day (until 2.5 when it pretty much tanked), Clonezilla, Acronis, Macrium, and AOMEI BackUpper.Īll have pros and cons.
