At C2K we have a built a package that will give you the ability to deploy Windows 7 systems with software to new or existing hardware in minutes!
Windows 7 and Server 2008 streamlines and extends the tools that we use to engineer and deploy operating-system images. With WDS (Windows Deployment Service), we can manage system images, and update operating-system components with updates, security fixes, and optional components. We also can add, enumerate, and remove third-party device drivers. Along with language packs and additional software. Importantly, we can easily maintain an inventory of offline images that includes drivers, packages, features, and software updates.
By storing drivers centrally on deployment servers, separate from images. We can install drivers dynamically or assign sets of drivers based on information contained in the BIOS. The Multiple Stream Transfer option in Windows 7 Multicast enables us to deploy images across networks more efficiently. Instead of requiring each client to connect directly to a deployment server, Multicast enables deployment servers to broadcast images to multiple clients simultaneously.
Windows 7 improves the installation experience with a faster and more consistent setup, powerful installation task sequencing tools, and faster transfer of users’ files and settings. Windows 7 gives you the resources to reduce or eliminate the deployment impact to users.
