Module Strategy
Use the following strategy to present this module:

Determining the Operating System Environment
In this section, students learn how to gather the information required for the
analysis of the current operating system environment. In addition, students
learn how to determine current business practices for operating system
installations and upgrades.
Note the following:
• Acknowledge that there may be operating systems on the network that
are not Windows based.
• Client computers will need sufficiently powerful hardware to run the
operating systems being installed. A hardware upgrade may need to
precede an operating system deployment.
• Note that a CCM deployment is a good opportunity to implement more
structured procedures than may currently exist. This may effectively
address the political issue of poorly managed systems.

Determining the Organizational Requirements
In this section, students learn how to identify the organization’s future
requirements for operating system installation and upgrade.
Note the following:
• In the case where client computers have been poorly configured in the
past, or have been subject to many upgrades and software changes, it
may be advisable to conduct clean operating system installations rather

than upgrades of existing client computers.
• From a total cost of ownership (TCO) standpoint, a general deployment
of a minimally customized operating system may appear preferable.
However, it is unlikely to meet the diverse needs of the user base, and
hence may be a false economy.

Identifying Clean Operating System Installation Options
In this section, students look at the technologies for clean operating system
installations, using manual and automated installations, and then determine
their suitability to an organization’s requirements.
Note the following:
• Technologies specific to operating system deployment—for example,
Sysprep and Remote Installation Services (RIS)—are covered here for
the first time.
• Enterprise operating system deployment is complex, and there are a
number of techniques required to conduct such deployments in a
satisfactory manner (for example, using Sysprep for automated
installation or performing manual installations). This module does not
cover these techniques in detail.
• The choice of technologies will depend on a number of factors in
addition to those presented in this module. For example, CCM
requirements other than operating system deployment may need to be
taken into consideration.
Module 2: Designing a Workstation Installation and Upgrade Strategy v



Identifying Operating System Upgrade Options
In this section, students look at the technologies for operating system
upgrades and determine the suitability of those technologies to an

organization’s requirements.
Note the following:
• Enterprise operating system upgrades are complex, and there are a
number of techniques available to conduct such deployments in a
satisfactory manner (for example, automating the upgrades by using
Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) and Microsoft
IntelliMirror
®
or performing manual upgrades). This module does not
cover these techniques in detail.
• The choice of technologies will depend on a number of factors in
addition to those presented in this module. For example, CCM
requirements other than operating system deployment may need to be
taken into consideration.

Assessing the Appropriate Installation Options
In this section, students assess the CCM technologies and determine their
suitability to operating system installation and upgrade. Students determine
the hardware and software requirements and consider the benefits and
shortcomings. A comparison of technologies highlights their different
usage, implementation, and operation, and demonstrates that they can be
used as complementary technologies in certain situations.
Note the following:
• It is important to define a solution that meets the majority of the
requirements. A solution that is too highly customized will be difficult
(and therefore expensive) to manage. However, a solution that does not
take all of the requirements into account will not meet the needs of the
users.
• There is no perfect answer for operating system deployment. Therefore,
the chosen solution will require the student to make compromises.

Your plan for workstation installations and upgrades must identify the
organization’s current installation and upgrade strategy.
Gather Information About Current Strategy
Gather the following information:

Which technologies are currently used in the organization?

How many, and how often are installations and upgrades currently
performed?


Who performs these installations and upgrades?

How much time does it currently take to perform these installations and
upgrades?

What is the current strategy for providing a client computer and operating
system to new employees?

What is the current strategy for upgrading client computer operating
systems for existing client computers?

This information will enable you to identify the organization’s current strategy
for operating system installations and upgrades on client computers. It will help
you to choose the correct installation strategies for future installations of
Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP.
Topic Objective
To determine the
organization’s current
methods and strategies for
operating system
installations and upgrades.
Lead-in
For the design of your
installation and upgrade
plan, you must determine
which methods the
organization currently uses
for operating system
installations and upgrades

on its client computers.
6 Module 2: Designing a Workstation Installation and Upgrade Strategy


Determine Technologies Currently Used
The methods and technologies currently in use may affect how the organization
performs installations and upgrades. Identify the tools and services currently in
use.
These are some of the methods that you may be using to perform installations
and upgrades of your current operating systems:

Manual installation from disk and compact disc

Restarting from compact disc

Network installation from a server

Unattended answer files

Third-party imaging tools

Such methods have limitations when compared with the features provided by
Microsoft technologies for CCM. Limitations include the inability to perform
the installations and upgrades remotely, the time and effort taken to perform
them, and the complexity of the tools and scripts used.
It is important to identify the number of installations and upgrades that are
typically performed, in addition to their frequency. This will help you to
determine which of your workstation installation and upgrade business needs
will be met by specific CCM technologies.
Identify who is responsible for performing client computer installations and

upgrades and plan a strategy for creating teams to carry out future installations
and upgrades. You may need to consider additional training for Information
Technology (IT) staff to ensure that they have the appropriate skill levels for the
implementation of CCM technologies.
It is useful to determine how much time individuals currently spend on
installations and upgrades, so that you can identify savings through the use of
CCM technologies. Expect to see improvements in total cost of ownership
(TCO) in relation to the amount of user down time, administrative time, and the
speed of installations and upgrades.

TRAINER USE

******************************
An organization may plan to use both clean operating system installations and
operating system upgrades on its client computers.
Clean Operating System Installations
The term clean installation means the deployment of a new operating system to
a computer where there is currently no operating system installed. This
normally refers to a system that has had its previous operating system removed
or its hardware configuration changed significantly. These situations are also
called fresh installations. The term reconfiguration can also be used to refer to
the replacement of an operating system on a computer.
Operating System Upgrades
The term upgrade refers to a situation in which an operating system installation
upgrades an existing operating system to a new version. This type of upgrade
usually maintains existing application and user settings, and is often called an
in-place upgrade.
You must determine which of these methods is appropriate to an organization’s
operating system installation and upgrade plan. If you know which method the
organization wants to use, you can develop the CCM infrastructure to make the
best use of the available technologies.
Topic Objective
To identify any specific
needs that the organization
has for its installation or
upgrade plans.
Lead-in
Identifying the needs of an
organization begins by
looking at its primary
reasons and goals for
performing installations and

upgrades.
