Laplink PCMover
• Advantages– Migrate user data and some apps via a special file
called its “moving van”

Why use deployment products?
• Best for >10 desktops• Clean consistent image pays off dividends
later on for support• Can automate the most mundane parts of
copying your OS files • Can preserve desktop apps and user files – on
some of these solutions

Questions to answer• How much hardware variation do you have to
cover? • Have you used any of Microsoft deployment tools
in the past? Start with WAIK.• Do you need to keep your existing applications
on each desktop? Then don't consider Viewfinity.• Do you have any experience with VMware? If so,
then start with SmartDeploy. • Are you looking to store a centralized repository
of your desktop images? If so, then consider the Kbox.

Discussion topics
• Is this the time to consider imaged desktops or managed desktops?
• How much variety in vendors and internals do you have to deal with to run Win7?
• How much VM experience do you have?
• What is the total number of desktops to migrate?
