I started with building custom images a few years ago when i learned about WinPE\BartPE and found that i could build custom boot disks to standardize the images that were being put on the end users desktops rather than cloning them. Back then i was working on a small domain of only a couple hundred users and PC's. Now its a domain of 6000 users, 300+ Servers, 3000 PC's, and 1500 thin clients using different Virtualization technologies, and i get to work with a team to standardize the desktop experience for them all.
So anyway we are in the process of changing over our imaging deployment solution from Symantec\Norton to Windows Deployment Solutions (WDS) and the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). Almost everything that i have found so far can be automated with Powershell. MDT even provides you with the scripts when you perform an action.
The only issue that im having is that there is not alot of information or tools that i have been able to find to help with this automation. Im trying to find Consoles, HTA's, or Forms that can simplify this and im not having much luck. Anyone out there have experience with these? Any help would be appreciated.
