The master class is focused on the correct management of Microsoft Windows operating system images in a production environment, where there is the need to guarantee a procedural approach and determinism in the result, while minimizing the risk of human error. The course is aimed at all those professionals who interact with the operating system, both during the design and archiving phase of the image, and in the production phase of the finished product, where it is necessary to deploy the archived operating system.
The master class is divided into a day and is structured in theoretical sessions and practical sessions in the laboratory, in order to define not only the domain of the problem, but also to provide practical and operational knowledge to be applied immediately to production scenarios real.
The aim of the master class is to teach a rigorous, efficient and effective method for managing operating system images in production, all using free and widely documented Microsoft tools.
At the end of the master class the customer is able to proceed autonomously in the acquisition, archiving and deployment of an operating system image in the production phase, as well as being aware of a series of tools that can be used and modified to create your own customized management solution, which can be better integrated with the production processes of its reality.
The course outline includes:
- THEORY : introduction to the topic, illustrating advantages and criticalities this method compared to other proprietary archiving tools
- THEORY: introduction to the WinPE environment
- THEORY: introduction to the right way of archiving an OS image
- LAB: image preparation for archiving and backup
- THEORY: introduction to the correct methodology for deploying images in production
- LAB: image deployment on target system
- Summary and final Q&A
The practical exercises in the laboratory can be developed around a case study or declined around a practical case of use by the client.
