Home, non-AD environment. SCCM, Ivanti DSM don’t work since this isn’t a business environment. Intune also isn’t feasible I think.
I have so far done it via NTLite and an answer file.
Second question:
Does anyone happen to know if I can make the answer file set up a RANDOMIZED user (admin) account during the image deployment? Normally you’re asked to create a user (admin) acc in the middle of the windows deployment process. I know the answer file can set up a given user or multiple but idk if you can make the answer file RANDOMIZE the user account name and password / deployment… Would putting an * asterisk in >USERNAME< do it?
I am using terraform to create my VMs and destroy them. Using Ansible with the xenorchestra inventory plugin and have it configure the servers I created.
- MDT with WDS will work in a workgroup.
- You will always need to specify a username and password.
What’s are you ultimately trying to do here? What problem are you trying to solve?
