robjduk Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Thankfully I haven't had to image them yet, there's only the three of them so they were built individually. MDT 2013 images 8.1 1
dblight Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Rolled out 130 last December. Just like a normal laptop Windows 8 enterprise. One word of warning stay away from the Acer W510. Wireless driver is a nightmare. Had to switch back from 8.1 to 8 because of the driver. Acer's updated wireless driver for 8.1 is useless. Luckily we use SCCM to deploy so didn't take long to redo 130! 1
SYNACK Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Got six Asus t100 s here, painful to image but great once they are and domain joined. All the printers, scripts and applications just work like any other station. Metro apps are a mess as stated but people seem to like them unless they are all mac all the time people who refuse to give them a chance. 1
Miscbrah Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Right, might well take the plunge then thanks to everyone for the helpful bits and bobs. Only thing is I cannot STAND MDT or Microsoft deployment of any sort. Have never had a straightforward encounter, nor anything actually working after using it ever. SCCM is a nono also. Is there anything else anyone uses for imaging them? Would clonezilla work do we reckon? What specifically are you brave pioneers of handheld Microsoft-age using to image these thingies and is there a walkthrough?
StevieM Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Right, might well take the plunge then thanks to everyone for the helpful bits and bobs. Go for it, @Miscbrah! We all expect a blow-by-blow blog of the project.
3s-gtech Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Have heard positive experiences on using Clonezilla with Bay Trail tablets. I'd like to try FOG with them, but will need USB to ethernet and newest kernel. 1
edutech4schools Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Would clonezilla work do we reckon? Worked for me on Windows 8.1 laptops 1
SYNACK Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 A syspreped image and imagex as I have not been able to boot MDT on the tablets with secureboot on or off. Windows Installer image on a USB key and an external usb hard drive then an imagex over. Not as simple as MDT but works with their picky EFI boot. 1
