ConclusionConclusion

Building Blocks– Keep adding– Can modify and add to scripts in Inventory

Built with what we had

Didn’t need to switch to (or buy) new technology or software

Fits our workflow

ConclusionConclusion

Apply what we have to other systems

– Use for Faculty and Admin computers

– We have a parallel system for Macs

Next StepsNext Steps

PXE boot

WinPE2

Add application installers

Create a web form for self service

Add scheduling
