## Vista and Office 2007 Deployment

**ORNL – Early adopters of technology**
**Project Goals**
**Operating System Deployment History**
**Process**
**Lessons Learned**
**Future Plans**

## Vista and Office 2007 Early Adopters of Technology

**Provide ORNL with the latest technology**
**Increase efficiency for ORNL using new deployment methods**
**Improved deployment and migration tools**
**Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) 2007**
**Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK)**
**System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007**
**Update to SMS 2003**
**ORNL is in the RDP for SCCM 2007 - July 2007**

## Vista and Office 2007 Early Adopters of Technology

**Improved security**
**Bitlocker for hard disk encryption**
**Windows Defender**
**User Access Control**
**Improved granular security model**
**Improvements for Mobile Computing**
**Power management**
**One base OS for all platforms **
**eliminates Tablet OS**

## Vista and Office 2007 Early Adopters of Technology

**Increased Productivity**
**Improved user interface with Vista & Office 2007**
**New features**
**Gadgets**
**RSS feeds**
**Windows Aero**
**Indexed search**

## Vista and Office 2007 Project Goals

**Bring the latest technology to ORNL**
**Increase OS deployment efficiency and reduce cost**
**Lite touch**
**Zero touch**
**User State Migration**
**Provide user with the ability to migrate to new OS and Office w/o IT assistance **
**Use of wizard driven interface **
**Maintain single source for OS and Office**
**Includes embedded settings/applications for ORNL**

## Vista and Office 2007 Operating System Deployment History

**Multiple installations methods**
**Manual installs from source**
**Dell X-Image (preloaded Managed Hardware Machines)**
**Issue - Long leads times to update**
**Issue - Only designed for new Dell systems**
**Individually developed “unattended” installations**
**Issue - No standard for OS deployment**
**Learned new techniques for deployment**
**Locally developed loader process (ORNLoader)**
**Worked on ALL systems – not just Dell**
**Replaced Dell X-Image as preload for MHP**
**Standardized Windows Operating System deployment**
**Preload was PE based which accessed files on ORNL servers so modifications were instantaneous**

**Weaknesses of ORNLoader**
**Custom programming required**
**No User State Migration **
**Primarily designed for bare metal systems (format and install)**
**All previous methods required IT effort to various degrees**
**New solutions are structured to reduce IT effort/cost**

## Vista and Office 2007 Operating System Deployment History

**New Deployment methods available through Microsoft based on “Best Practice” methodology of operating system deployment**
**BDD 2007**
**WMI support for installation logic**
**User State Migration (migrating users data and settings)**
**Operating system image and application installation control**
**Computer backups prior to migration**

## Vista and Office 2007 Operating System Deployment History

## Vista and Office 2007 Deployment Process

**No Upgrades – Refresh only**
**Reduce support costs and effort**
**Lite Touch**
**BDD 2007 - Wizard driven interface **
**Provides option to backup **
**Recovery in the event of problem**
**User State Migration**
**Custom install for bare metal systems**
**Use of in-house custom application**
**Utilizes WAIK**
**Windows PE based – used for preload on MHP systems**

## Vista and Office 2007 Deployment Process

**First  to adopt were IT volunteers – Lite Touch **
**Training was provided to ~14 IT Incident Management  staff (customer facing)**
**Deployment offered to all other IT staff – Lite Touch**
**IT staff introduced to Vista and Office 2007 through MS launch events**
**Introduce to all ORNL staff via Lite Touch – June 2007**
**Deploy to ORNL staff using Zero Touch  ~July/August 2007**

## Vista and Office 2007 DeploymentLessons Learned

**Deployment process changes with SCCM 2007**
**SCCM 2007 Planned for July 07**
**BDD 2007 config will migrate into SCCM 2007**
**Third party software**
**Vista versions slow to be released**
**Specific enterprise software solutions at ORNL impacting ~30% of staff **
**Entrust – solution Virtual PC with XP installed**
**Iron Mountain Backup Client – beta released 5/07**
**Application Compatibility Tool**
**Identified ~25K software packages/versions in use**

## Vista and Office 2007 DeploymentLessons Learned

**Not all ORNL hardware includes Trusted Platform Module (TPM)**
**Multiple Bitlocker boot options (non-TPM systems)**
**Some hardware does not meet upgrade requirements**

## Vista and Office 2007 DeploymentFuture Plans

**Zero Touch through SCCM 2007**
**PXE booting new machines to eliminate preloads on MHP systems  **
**Replace current custom bare metal process w/ BDD 2007 & SCCM 2007 process**
**Pre-populate ORNL’s network registration process with data from manufacturer**
**Reduce installation time**
**Improve the “out-of-box” experience for users with new computer installations**
**Redesign ORNL’s software deployment process to include application deployment via SCCM 2007 during OS deployment**
