Windows Network OS Install
A feature of the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance
Save time and simplify the installation of operating systems across your network by easily provisioning your PC fleet with the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance. Install software remotely and maintain up-to-date gold master images across diverse hardware platforms. Use existing images to provision one-off machines to serve specialized functions. The KACE SDA’s network OS-scripted installation capabilities enable hardware-independent PC provisioning of systems by deploying a standard Windows setup from scratch over the network.
How it works:
- Hardware-independent deployment
- Use the KACE SDA’s scripted installation to automate Windows installation over your network. Remotely install software to any desktop, laptop or server with a single scripted installation, regardless of computer hardware configuration. This remote, unattended installation reduces the costs and complexity of deployment, and saves valuable IT time. Scripted installations provide a reliable and customizable method for deployment in heterogeneous hardware environments and an efficient way to build and maintain gold master configurations. You can also easily integrate applications and files with scripted installations, enabling complete systems provisioning with far less effort.
- Pre- and post-installation tasks
- Streamline all of your system installation tasks with scripted installations. The KACE SDA’s pre-installation tasks include disk, RAID and BIOS configuration, and its post-installation tasks include sysprep automation, domain joining, and service pack, application and script deployment.
- Automated driver slipstreaming
- Simplify network OS provisioning by automatically including the correct drivers in each setup to slipstream drivers. Prior to deployment, quickly verify whether all required drivers reside in the vast, prebuilt KACE SDA driver library, and easily add any missing drivers to the library to automatically include them in deployments. Increase system reliability and ease of deployment with driver verification reporting and automated slipstream updates of drivers.
