Introduzindo a avaliação e planear de Microsoft 3.0

Para aqueles de você a que estão considerando a migração de seu infrastructure do desktop e do usuário Windows Vista SP1 e usuário 2008 de Windows, nós temos notícias boas para você!

Como nós temos anunciado em TechEd O Forum 2007 em Barcelona último novembro, a equipe dos Accelerators da solução de Microsoft está indo liberar a versão expandida da avaliação 2.1 da ferragem de Windows Vista chamada Avaliação de Microsoft e planeamento 3.0 (MAPA do aka).

No short, MAPA é uma ferramenta rede-larga automatizada do inventário e da avaliação do agente-menos que possa rapidamente determinar se os desktops e os usuários da sua organização estiverem prontos para a migração a Windows Vista e ao usuário 2008 de Windows.

O que mim signifique perto AGENT-LESS inventário? Posto simplesmente, não significa que você não necessita lançar nenhuns agentes do software em algumas daquelas máquinas que você quer esta ferramenta inventory e perguntar - assim que não mais interesses da segurança e interruption do usuário!

Oferece o inventário rede-largo rápido das máquinas e gera relatórios da compatibilidade da ferragem e do dispositivo com recomendações actionable no formulário de originais automóvel-gerados da proposta - documentação perfeita para o seu ELE planeamento do projeto no ano fiscal novo!

Hi all! It's been a little bit over 2 months since my last blog on the Windows Vista Hardware Assessment 2.1 (WVHA) release back in August. You may wonder what our dev team is up to. Well, aside from getting the much needed rest, we have been busy working on the NEXT version of the tool. Yes, we're talking about a major expansion here. For those of you who haven't heard of WVHA, it's basically a network-wide readiness assessment tool that goes out to your network and securely assess each PC for their hardware and device compatibility for Windows Vista and 2007 Microsoft Office migration - click here for my detailed blog post.

Tool Expansion - Microsoft Assessment and Planning Solution Accelerator

This expansion will not only retain the original WVHA functionalities and the 7-language localization, but it will also incorporate many elements for the Windows Server 2008 wave and Microsoft Integrated Virtualization initiative. Imagine having the same agent-less inventory capabilities to survey the IT infrastructure of servers, applications and workstations and get back a series of assessment reports in an hour or two!

Microsoft Deployment is the next version of Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) 2007. Microsoft Deployment, the fourth generation deployment accelerator, enables deployment of servers and desktops. Its tools and end-to-end guidance reduce deployment time, Read More......(read more)

Deployment insiders probably saw this coming, but the recent Beta release of Deployment 4 is a huge step in unifying the converging tools and procedures to image and automate installation of both desktops and now servers in a single console. For current BDD 2007 users, this means with very little extra effort you are ready to create images and deploy Windows Server 2003 and pre-release versions of Windows Server 2008 using the Deployment Workbench. Deployment 4 also integrates with the new System Center Configuration Manager 2007 features for OS deployment and task sequencing. Speaking of task sequences, the Deployment 4 has shifted focus from builds to task sequences, making deployments more flexible and aligning to the way System Center Configuration Manager 2007 performs OS deployment. And as if that wasn't enough, Deployment 4 leverages the new multicasting functionality coming in Windows Server 2008 Windows Deployment Services. Multicasting dramatically reduces network bandwidth by instead of passing a 4 GB image individually to each targeted computer, it can pass that same 4 GB image to multiple computers simultaneously.

Deployment 4 Beta 3 combines the guidance and toolset from previous releases of Business Desktop Deployment and Beta releases of Windows Server Deployment. This release continues to support Zero Touch Installation (ZTI) of desktop operating systems using Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 with the
