what I've heard from ADS it's really great. However I'm really sorry that I did
not have any time/chance to get deeper into ADS - but from the theory that's
definitelly what I'd perfer if there's not already some deployment tool in
place.
The WS2k3 rollouts where I took part we used two solutions:
1. a custom made solution by our company which is doing a unattended
installation automated by a database for different machines - we distributed
the code-shares throughout the locations in the night before using DFS
2. we installed the Servers already customized as standalone-servers at our
warehouse, deployed them to the branch offices of our customer, connected
remotely using Remote Desktop, took them into the domain, distributed a backup
of the NTDS-Database during night and made a active directory install from
backup during the next day.
Both solutions did not require us to travel but do all the rollout from the
central office.
Gruesse - Sincerely,
Ulf B. Simon-Weidner
