Hi Experts,
We would like to create a custom standard Windows 7 pro image to use on some new desktop computers that we will be ordering soon (around 35 computers).
Most users will use the same standard set of software (Such as Office 2010, SAP B1, Anti-virus software/ adobe reader etc) but some departments will use software that the other departments do not need installed on there computers. How can we create a custom standard window 7 Image along with other software to put onto all computers? and what software tools do we need or would you recommend to achieve this?
Also do we need to purchase a particular Microsoft Windows 7 license agreement such as a group or cooperate license agreement to do this so that we can use the same windows licenses key on all computers or can we just buy the computers with OEM licenses? And use one of the license keys to use on all computers?
Any recommendations would be great.
Thanks
Kevin
With regards to licensing you will need to register with the Microsoft Volume Licensing Program and purchase your licence key through that program. This gives you greater flexibility and management over your licence keys for MS products.

How to Buy: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/how-to-buy/Default.aspx - You need to select your region.
As for the imaging, do you have a Windows Server you can load Windows Deployment Serviuces onto?
