I am migrating 25 new Windows 7 PC's from the old XP boxes that our staff uses. I have a theory on what needs to be done: Create a base Windows 7 image with full Windows updates, Office 2010 on every PC with updates, A custom Access database that everyone uses and is copied by folder to the same path on C: and Adobe Reader, IE8 with updates. <br />
<br />
So my question is: What is the best method to creating and deploying a &quot;golden image&quot; over the manufactorers image for theses 25 HP AMD quad boxes and how is the licensing best handled? (idk does the licensing come after the image install).<br />
<br />
We do have a WDMI server and Norton Ghosting software which I am remedial and novice at best.<br />
<br />
Thanks,

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

Network Management

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
