OS Deployment -

Deploy operating systems securely, automatically and flexibly

 

  • Distribute Windows automatically in the network
  • Individually definable rollout templates
  • BIOS, UEFI and secure boot support

 

The automated distribution of Windows operating systems has never been easier than with OS Deployment. With the help of numerous useful features such as the driver scanner, Windows can be rolled out quickly and easily for any number of computers - and is then immediately ready for use in the desired configuration. IT admins benefit from OS Deployment:

  • Fully automated provision of new operating systems
  • Full UEFI and secure boot support
  • Individual rollout templates for different configurations

Standardized and automated Windows deployment

With our OS Deployment, Windows installations can be carried out reliably and reproducibly. Rollout templates define all the necessary components for the installation - including partitioning, network settings, software distribution and post-configuration.
UEFI and secure boot support ensure that deployments run smoothly even in hardened environments.

The most important features at a glance

Automatic roll-out:

Consistent, fully automated Windows deployments

Flexible options:

Individual rollout templates for different device configurations

Advanced customization:

Only a WAIK (WADK) is required on the admin PC - no WDS server

Ready to use:

Systems ready for immediate use after rollout

Integrated driver management

Various functions are available for efficient driver handling to ensure that newly installed systems receive all the drivers they need. The driver scanner automatically recognizes required drivers, while the acmp driver wizard can also read these from existing systems and conveniently provide them as a package.

This creates a clean, standardized system without unwanted additional software - right from the first start.

Manage response files centrally

All response files relevant to the installation process (e.g. partitioning, region settings, domain joining) are managed centrally and assigned securely. This means that rollouts remain traceable and flexibly adaptable.

Central Windows license management

Windows license keys are stored in acmp and automatically assigned and documented during deployments. Standardized KMS keys enable flexible conversions between KMS, MAK and single-user versions.

Automation via job collection

Routine tasks can be integrated directly into the deployment process. With Job Collections, you can distribute software, certificates or configurations automatically - and combine several steps into a consistent rollout process.

Boot templates - flexible start environments for deployment, diagnostics and lifecycle processes

Boot templates extend OS deployment with flexible boot and emergency options. Systems can be started independently of the installed operating system - ideal for maintenance, wipe or diagnostic processes and for use in security-critical IT environments.

WinPE-based boot images for controlled wipe processes

WinPE boot images enable complete, controlled deletion of end devices using DiskPart.
This is particularly useful before decommissioning or reusing hardware and supports consistent implementation of endpoint lifecycle management.

Examples of use:

  • Secure deletion before hardware retirement
  • Reconditioning of devices
  • Preparatory maintenance or clean-up tasks
Unix-based boot images via PXE

Unix-based boot images can be loaded and started via PXE. Depending on the desired scenario, additional components can be provided via a separate infrastructure.

Typical application scenarios:

  • Unix live systems for analysis and diagnostics
  • Recovery tools for system repairs
  • forensic investigation environments
  • Specialized wipe or security systems

What our customers say

I can definitely recommend acmp to anyone who is looking for a holistic IT solution and currently lacks an overview.

We have noticed a real benefit in our day-to-day work - we save time. As a result, the resources gained can be used in other projects.

We would have to install all the software and network drives for the users manually. The fact that we can now distribute entire batches at the touch of a button saves us at least ten to twelve hours of work a month, just for the roll-outs.

FAQ
Can I also distribute images with OS Deployment?

Yes, this is possible. However, we rather recommend a component-based "unattended installation".

Is it possible to install additional software and settings automatically after the OS rollout?

There is a post deployment in OS Deployment. Job collections can be defined here, for example to install additional standard software and to store configurations and certificates.

Can OS Deployment be used across different locations without a WAN link?

Yes, the distributed repositories are synchronized with the individual locations and therefore network performance is not restricted.

Is it possible to include drivers from existing devices in the driver pool?

Yes, there are ways to scan and export the drivers from a device or to import existing packages (e.g. from the Internet) directly.
