| Windows deployment services + Vista Has anyone played around with server 2008 and Vista? I'm asking because I work in an IT department and I've been playing with the deployment services to upgrade our workstations to vista as our xp licenses expire in the fall. The computers are fully capable of running vista (Index scores of 4.7 to 5.2). I know some of you may think i'm crazy, but the UAC, at least from an administration standpoint is the best thing microsoft came up with. UAC and Deepfreeze should make sure some likely idiot won't screw up my workstations... "Protect users from themselves" Any tips, hints would be appreciated. |

Location: Alabama | Re: Windows deployment services + Vista Hi Pbb321, From what I have heard Vista workstations need a Vista License server (something to that affect) and if a vista workstation cannot contact that license server in a certain period of time the workstation gets removed from the domain automatically. I heard that Vista and server2008 take full advantages of SMB. Much faster file transfers than Server 2003 and XP Pro. I think if you read up on the licensing schemes you should be ok. Raj |

| Re: Windows deployment services + Vista Really? Haven't heard of this before... shouldn't pose a problem but i'll read up and see. From my trial setups the file transfer is ALOT faster than server 2003 and xp pro and the best part is the migration from 2003 to 2008 and xp to vista should not be hard... I say that but you never know. Thanks for the reply! |
