I'm "hosting" a Windows 7 party!

Hmm Windows 7 launch party at the College sounds good The students would love it I'm sure, how quick can I roll 7 out to 220 PCs I wonder.....

[nephilim]

surprisingly fast, sysprep seems to love windows 7, you can have 30 machines done with sysprep in around 20 mins (thats how long it took me to image our suite!)

IIRC WDS is multicast now (or is it just SCCM?) so imaging should be super quick now

That's one reason to upgrade to SCCM over my trusty SMS 2003 install, send 1 image rather than 30 odd copies of it

Is yours going to be like this?

Lolol only got 3 mins in but couldn't go further than "so I just played a few of the Windows 7 orientation videos..."

If you can get away with 4 people, 1 photo for a free copy of 7 Ultimate it's worth doing though!

Judging from that video, I wouldn't be surprised if the party ends up a bit like this:

Our headteacher took to inviting all the headteachers in the county and got me to invite around 40 technicians or so from our county! If anyone in the Beds, Bucks, Herts, Cambridgeshire or Northamptionshire area wants to come, PM me your email and I will ping an invite out too you!
