Advanced Deployment Services (ADS)

 
An automated installation wizard intuitively automates the PC deployment process from within the image.  
   
 
The Problem: After an image is restored to a system, a great deal of time is spent to configure and deploy the image to all end user systems, including domain assignment, user specific application installation, user data migration, etc.

The Solution: ADS fully automates the image deployment processes so technician’s touch time is reduced to a few minutes or to zero.

With ADS, the PC deployment process is automated by way of a simple to use interface. All the user has to do is power on the system and answer a few simple, menu-driven questions. This will kick off a the personalization of the PC to match the user’s needs.  ADS allows different departments within an organization to consolidate their configurations into a single ADS package that can be applied to any image.  Examples of custom image configurations include location/geography, job function and language.
