Understand, troubleshoot and repair issues with local Windows
installations, automating the OS deployment and configuring updates via
WSUS and Windows Intune. When tasked with deploying Windows operating
systems, there can seem to be an overwhelming amount of tools and
techniques to learn to master this process. Whether you are installing a
new Windows operating system locally, or looking to deploy a customized
build to 1000s of devices in your network, you will need to understand
how to do this successfully and reliably. This book steps up through
local installations and upgrades through to Lite Touch deployments using
WDS and MDT, and then to Zero Touch installations using Microsoft System
Center. Management of updates to Windows is also covered, using both
on-premises technologies and cloud-based services. In this book you'll
learn how to decide between local installation types, perform upgrades,
use automation techniques to deploy images and how to maintain Windows
throughout the operational phase of the lifecycle.
