What’s a “Master” Image?
And why should I have one?Reasons not to have = 0Reasons to have = anything but 0
Master or Ref Image
It is much fasterMinutes instead of hours
Easier to useDon’t need to know how to install the OS
Perfect with the Self-service portalDevelopers and testers need to create machines
Fast and easy without asking YOU (the Admin)In fact, you must have an image to do this
Master or Ref Image
Should be repeatable and automaticStep-by-step
Install the OSAdd system componentsAdd service packs, hot fixes, agentsAdd VM additions
Blank password!
Creating a Master Image
Solution 1Install it manually and hope to get it the same way as the last time
Solution 2Use unattended files to create the ref images
Solution 3Let the existing deployment solution that you have in place create the images for you
Watch Out for:
Windows Server 2003 R2Needs two CDs and some “work” to be automatic
Windows Server 2003 R2 -64No support for legacy Nic, PXE boot?Single/Multi HAL?
Does it matter on a ref image?Agents?
OpsMgr, DPM, CCM, 3:partyAntivirus?Antimalware?Thick or Thin?PXE or Media?
