Planning | |
Appropriate deployment scenario selected | The appropriate combination of scenarios (new computer installation, computer refresh, or computer replacement) is identified. |
Required infrastructure exists | Prerequisite technologies and infrastructure to support the deployment exist. |
Monitoring plan completed | The list of servers, services, and system resources to be monitored is created. The frequency of monitoring is also decided. |
Operations and Deployment feature teams trained | Any training required by the Operations and Deployment feature teams occurs to ensure that both teams are ready by the time deployment occurs. |
Consensus for deployment plan obtained | All stakeholders in the Solution Accelerator for BDD project provide consensus for acting on the deployment plan and future project milestones. |
Developing | |
Solution Accelerator for BDD installed | Solution Accelerator for BDD is installed on the appropriate servers. |
Appropriate resource access assigned | Shared resources (such as shared folders for user migration data) are configured to allow access to the appropriate service accounts. |
SMS OSD Feature Pack packages and programs configured | Each phase of the SMS 2003 OSD Feature Pack deployment (Validation, State Capture, Preinstall, Postinstall, State Restore) is configured to used the ZTI script. |
ZTI processing rules configured | Rules for processing the ZTI installation are configured and stored in the appropriate location for deployment. |
Reference Computer Images created | Images that the SMS 2003 OSD Feature Pack uses for deploying the operating system are created (also known as golden images or master images). |
Windows PE CDs prepared | CD images used to create boot CDs or that are applied to RIS servers are created. |
Stabilizing | |
Lab tests and pilot deployments completed | The deployment process is validated in test labs. Further validation occurs during one or more pilot deployments. Any modifications to the deployment process are incorporated prior to production deployment. |
Deployment teams prepared | Deployment teams are debriefed on the outcome of the lab tests and pilot deployments. Any common deployment issues, troubleshooting tools, and remedies are communicated to the team. |
Deploying | |
SMS 2003 OSD Feature Pack Deployment Wizard run | Deployment of images to workstations is initiated. |
Transitioning to Operations | |
Transition preparations completed | Notification of the transition date is established, and users are notified of the change in support (Deployment feature team to Operations feature team). |
Current status of deployment communicated | The current list of migrated workstations, workstations that were unable to migrate, and current processes for resolving deployment issues is communicated from the Deployment feature team to the Operations feature team. |
