Training delivered to your desktop via live webinar technology

"Hardware-Independent Imaging"  (HII) is one of the more recent technology phrases linked to software cloning/imaging, migration and deployment. Binary Research was there first (in so many ways with the development of Ghost, the exclusive, worldwide distribution of the Universal Imaging Utility, Ghost training...). We lead the way in the Hardware-Independent Imaging space. Drawing on that expertise, this Training Series is designed for the IT Professional seeking to learn to do HII for themselves.

The sessions provide the opportunity to see and learn to use the best three toolsets in action - all working towards the creation of HI Image files - Symantec Ghost Solution Suite and DeployAnywhere), Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (and Windows 7) and the Universal Imaging Utility.

Session One:

Virtualization and the Master Machine

This Session introduces virtualization and the virtualization product (Hyper-V). We provide several basic operations for using Hyper-V to work with virtual machines. Participants install Hyper-V, create several virtual machines and install Windows Server 2008 onto one of the virtual machines.

Then we cover how to build a single computer the right way to create the master Image able to be deployed to all other Windows computers.  It describes how to prepare both Windows XP and Windows 7 virtual machines in the best possible way for imaging and uses Ghost Solution Suite to create an Image of the master machine.

 

 

 

This Training Series is designed for Network and System Administrators, network professionals and consultants tasked with the installation, configuration, operational management and disaster recovery of Windows operating systems and Images within corporate, government or academic environments.

Participants attending this training should have:

  • An understanding of Microsoft operating systems.
  • An understanding of how device drivers work.
  • An understanding of software deployment concepts.
  • Basic knowledge of Active Directory and how to set DHCP or static IP addresses.
  • The ability to add a computer and a User to a domain.
  • Knowledge of, and experience. with networking concepts.

Session Two:

HII using Ghost Solution Suite, DeployAnywhere and the Universal Imaging Utility.

Session two in this series describes how to deploy the XP Image to target machines using  Symantec Ghost and Deploy Anywhere and Symantec Ghost and the Universal Imaging Utility.  The session also covers how to install and use 3Com Boot Services for managing machines that need to boot from the network.

Session Three

HII using Windows 7, MDT and the Universal Imaging Utility

This final session in the series focuses on imaging using Windows 7 and the Microsoft Deployment Tools. Participants learn to create bootable WIM Images and custom Windows PE Images, utilize ImageX and Sysprep and implement the MDT to deploy the Windows 7 Image files.

Also during this session, Participants run the UIU against a Windows 7 Master machine, then capture an Image of it and deploy that Image to one or more target machines using Microsoft tools.

 
  • HANDS-ON Learning option: The sessions are designed to enable you to work with your own test environment as the Trainer presents the session - or just watch and listen.
  • Our content is current: Content is updated on a monthly basis to take account of changes within the product tools.

IT Professionals who attend all three sessiosn will learn:

  • To use Ghost Solutuion Suite, DeployAnywhere, the MDT toolkit and Windows 7 and the Universal Imaging Utility to build, capture and deploy Hardware-Independent Images.
  • To set up virtual machines using Hyper-V.
  • Best Practices for building a Master Machine in preparation for HII.
  • How to apply a Driver database to a machine.
  • How to create/capture a HI IMage of the master machine using the range of tools.
  • How to deploy the HI Image using GSS and MDT.
 

All sessions are delivered via live, on-line technology using a product called Go-To-Meeting.

The training sessions are delivered on three consecutive days. Each session is about 2.5 hours (delivery time is approximate, depending on the number of questions during and at the end of the session).
