Automated Deployment Services (ADS) 1.0

Brief Description

A tool for the deployment and remote administration of Windows Server operating systems.

Overview

ADS v1.0 has been superseded by ADS v1.1. We recommend using the latest version of the software.

With Windows Server 2003, Microsoft extends the platform to make it easier for administrators to build and administer very large, scaled out deployments of Windows servers. Automated Deployment Services (ADS) includes a new set of imaging tools developed by Microsoft and a more secure, remote-able infrastructure for rapidly deploying both Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 onto bare metal servers. In addition, ADS offers a more secure, reliable script execution framework that lets administrators perform script-based administration on 1,000 servers as easily as they once did on a single server.
