[Uber22]

Hey everyone

 

i have just joined today and was looking for you input, i have currently building a new windows 10 image, wanted to see if anyone had any tip and tweeks for making a good image. i was also looks to disable access to the c: drive for students, i use sophos for restricting stuff like the store,powershell,cmd. any input would be great.

 

 

some of the programs we already use

 

Chrome

office 2016 pro

python

adobe reader

Not sure about Python, but the other 3 can be installed via GPO. If they're your main concerns I'd be tempted not to use an "image" and just push out the .wim. Then you can just swap in a new wim when you want to update to a new version. If you have access to SCCM I believe it will make your life easier. I don't, so can't help you there, but there will likely be plenty of knowledgeable folk here in the morning.

 

Welcome to the forum, btw.

Do you have a windows server?

Hi yes we have windows servers (2016) standard

Don't faff with all-inc images like that, push it out as a brand new install and use MDT/SCCM/PDQ Deploy etc to push out software as needed.

Welcome to the forum;

Everything you ask has been discussed quite a lot, have you tried searching yet.

Many of the windows 10 version release threads contain info to tweaking that release.

There have been several GPO threads.

 

As said above, I take the thin image approach too, push a basic win and deploy / tweak everything during OSD.

 

Here is a couple resources to get you started.
