 |

My company is about to make a very large server purchase and up till now I have have been inputing all of the User Variables into the Device rather than the Image. I tried to switch this araound on the image and my deployments always seem to fail.
ADS is extensible via WMI. You can create a custom front-end via VB, C#, or web based solution to alleviate the multiple entries you have to add with a device you want to provision with ADS. Take a look at Microsoft Automated Purposing Framework and also VSMT and other solutions that center around ADS on Microsoft.com to help you get some ideas.
The method you are employing now is the right approach and one that can be further leveraged if you look into developing a framework which would utilize a custom front-end. This also would allow for eliminating server builders from having admin rights on the ADS controller and only having rights to provision devices with ADS. |
