Proposal Overview of Configuration of SCCM to Implement Windows OS Images
Problem Summary of Configuration of SCCM to Implement Windows OS Images
The agency of government is now
hiring an arrival of employees at the rate quicker that the IT department may
keep up with. At the workplace, a new workstation or the computer is assigned to
the workstation. At the workplace, only eight IT support engineers are working
who are providing support to every computer of the employees to keep every
system up to date by removing the ambiguities. Furthermore, the new hiring are being
on boarded at a rate in which the department of Information technology is
unable to provide them their customized workstations. That is a big problem
because some employees can face the difficulties in a sense of the outdated the
workstations. Some employees by facing this kind of problems, they cannot
perform their work properly because the outdated workstations can create some
kind of hurdles in the processing at the time of working. The second main problem
of the outdated workstations is that the new files or the software needed to improve
the quality of the software or key runner setups for showing the texts or some
documents. In other sense the computers which are outdated or have the old
versions of the software, they are unable to run the new version of some files
into the computer.
So, to overcome this kind of issues,
the department of information technology has concluded that they can provide
the updated workstation to every employee because as they are doing before. For
instance, they can provide them updated workstation one by one by installing Microsoft
Windows into each computer by using a flash drive which holds the Image of
Microsoft Windows.
IT Solution of Configuration of SCCM to Implement Windows OS Images
In the IT solution, the proposed
methodology or the proposed method is discussed which is providing the possible
solution to minimize the problem. The solution which is proposed for this
problem is better as well as every employees will have the same kind of
functionalities as well as the facilities. Microsoft system center
configuration manager (SCCM) is proposed to handle such kind of the problem. It
is very good and provide the windows images to all linked workstations which
are connected to the server.
The OS images in the configuration manager
are saved in the file format of windows image (WIM). The collection of the
reference files as well as the directories compress the windows images and the
related small of big software which are used for the installation as well as
configuration of the new operation system (OS) on the workstation. So, an
operating system (OS) image is required by several the scenarios of the OS deployment.
The default OS image is included by the installation files of the Windows. The
basic OS image which contains a standard set of drivers. There are several kind of the advantages of
the default image which are mentioned here such as the size of the image will
be smaller than the captured image, it provides the dynamic environment to
install the applications as well as configuration of every system and software.
So, by taking a look on its advantages, the IT team has concluded to adopt this
environment because it can save the time without making any kind of interrupt
at the workplace. Furthermore, it is very effective because it can provide the
latest and updated workstation to every employee at the workplace.
Implementation Plan of Configuration of SCCM to Implement
Windows OS Images
In the plan of
the implementation of the proposed solution which is mentioned as SCCM to
implement the Windows images to each workstation at the workplace, is
discussed. First of all, the objectives of the SCCM are discussed which are: deploying
as well as maintaining the devices very easy, time saving, effective as well as
efficient. The main objective is install and configure the environment of SCCM
on the server.
For the implementation as well as
configuration of the OS image includes some steps which will be planned for making
the windows images. Before using the images of OS, add I to the configuration
manager site. The IT department team should have to configure the console of
the SCCM and then they have to the go in the workspace of software library.
There they should have to expand the operating system as well as then they have
to select the node of the operating system image. There are some different
phases to the implement the SCCM environment for imaging the windows. In the
very first phase, the half of the workstations will be connected with the
system and after implementing the images all the workstations will be checked
by performing testing. If the workstations are working properly, then it will
be implemented to all of the computer in the company.
Review of other work of Configuration of SCCM to Implement
Windows OS Images
In
the review of the other work, there are some other works or the software which
are using in the market discussed in this section. The software are: BigFix,
Ansible, Quest KACE Systems management as well as Tanium.
Project Rationale of
Configuration of SCCM to Implement Windows OS Images
In
the rationale of this project is that the IT department of the company has only
eight engineers to support all the workstations. The department cannot provide
the custom workstation to every employee in the short time. So the Proposed
solution will provide the appropriate solution to every system by implementing
SCCM which will provide the images of Windows to every computer.
Current Project
Environment of Configuration of SCCM to Implement Windows OS Images
The
current project environment is that the engineers have the flash drives to
install the windows images to every computer one by one.
Methodology of
Configuration of SCCM to Implement Windows OS Images
Configuration
of the OS image includes some steps which will be planned for making the
windows images. Before using the images of OS, add I to the configuration
manager site. The IT department team should have to configure the console of
the SCCM and then they have to the go in the workspace of software library.
There they should have to expand the operating system as well as then they have
to select the node of the operating system image.
Project Goals,
Objectives, and Deliverables of Configuration of SCCM to Implement Windows
OS Images
objectives of
the SCCM are discussed which are: deploying as well as maintaining the devices
very easy, time saving, effective as well as efficient. The main objective is
install and configure the environment of SCCM on the server.

Project Outcomes and Deliverables of Configuration of SCCM to Implement Windows OS Images
Upon completion of the project, employees
in the IT department would be able to deploy a new windows image through the
SCCM network pxe boot. Also, they would no longer have to manually update the
workstations as it shall be managed by the system administrator via SCCM.
