Provisioning many PC's at once

gporritt Jul 1, 2010 9:54 AM

Hello All

I was wondering if anyone is using multi-cast to provision multiple PC's at once. We have 1800+ PC's to completely re-image over the summer. I have a working template but I need to find the easiest way to deploy it. Whats the most PC's anyone has deployed to? Anyone have any advice/directions to best known methods? WOL is unavailable to us at this time.

Cheers

Gary

Well if your template is working, the only thing (that I know of at least) that will limit you is your bandwidth and manpower. We do large groups at a time when doing go lives at our sites, and haven't had any issues other than bandwidth.

Hope that answers your question

Thanks for the info, I have seen a post on here before saying there was an issue with the number of PC's that can be picked up by the TFTP Server and I have seen issues myself when trying to PXE boot more than 15 PC's at once.
