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.
