Operating system images are a compressed collection of reference files and folders from a reference system that are needed to successfully install and configure an operating system on a computer. Before we start to build a reference computer for imaging we need to determine the imaging strategy we are going to use. We also need to determine the applications that need to be integrated into the image, identify the appropriate image type and decide on the imaging process. Having a better understanding of setting up image capture will enable us to build and operating system image for deployment and automate the desktop deployment process. Through this course we’ll review the various types of deployment images that can be made of a system. We’ll also go over the various phases of preparing the operating system for the imaging capturing process.

The course assumes that students have some familiarity with Microsoft Windows, basic networking concepts, and a fundamental understanding of computer hardware.
