I know about MDT, WDS
The way I do it is I create a super generalized image via NTLite and powershell scripts and I deploy it on the system. I do have to create a user account manually in the middle of the process, tho, and wait for the scripts to run post-install upon first logon
Can it be more automated than this? How do companies do it?
I do it with an answerfile with a clonezilla image. Simple and works.
I also use the autounattended answer file but my point is I still have to create a user and wait for the post install scripts to complete upon first logon
