It also allows you to remove unwanted components from Windows, tweak various system settings, customize Windows and create unattended installations. We settled on RT Se7en Lite, a nice freeware tool which lets you integrate drivers, Windows updates and hotfixes, language packs and 3rd party applications with silent installers. There is however a variety of programs available that offer you a more intuitive GUI and utilize ImageX under the hood. Unfortunately the kit relies on ImageX, a command line tool for capturing, creating, modifying and applying Windows images, which is not really handy. It also supports a variety of different other tasks, including volume activation management, user state migration and the likes which are not particularly interesting for us. The kit supports the configuration and deployment of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Microsoft provides its own tool set for this purpose: the Windows Automated Installation Kit ( AIK).

Hence, we first integrated drivers into a custom Windows® 7 installation DVD. One thing that always eats up time when setting up a new PC is making sure that all the drivers are installed correctly. We wanted to start out with a small automation and gradually build up. This worked quite well so far, but we have grown to a size where it would be nice to automate the process more (or even fully), so we in the engineering department can focus on coding new and exiting stuff instead of installing computers. While most of our configuration is pushed via the group policy in our domain, software such as the Microsoft Office suite or the most up-to-date Chrome and Firefox browsers, as well as other tools particular to each department, had to be installed by hand.

Up until recently, we used to install and configure all our computers manually. Every once in a while existing machines break down and need to be re-installed or get exchanged by new and speedy laptops.
