OS Deployer
Automates OS image capture and network deployment for mass provisioning and restores.
Network OS imaging and bare‑metal deployment for Windows desktops and laptops
Keeping a consistent OS build across many desktops is time consuming. Imaging by hand or using local USB media adds travel, manual steps and variability. Restores after hardware faults or replacements can interrupt users for days.
OS Deployer lets you capture a reference image and push it over the network using unicast or multicast. It can inject drivers and run post‑install tasks so deployed systems match site or hardware types. That reduces manual imaging work and improves consistency across the estate.
For organisations and MSPs managing standardised Windows images, OS Deployer reduces the operational cost of mass provisioning and shortens recovery time for individual machines.
How organisations typically use OS Deployer
Bare‑metal provisioning for new laptops and desktops. Capture a vetted reference image and deploy it to new machines across multiple sites to ensure a consistent baseline.
Branch and remote site rollouts. Use multicast where available or staged unicast transfers to push images to branch offices without shipping media.
Repair and restore workflows. Reimage a failed workstation after disk replacement or corruption, applying the correct drivers and customisation during deployment.
Where this product best fits
Fits Windows‑dominant estates with standardised workstation images and a need to provision 100+ desktops or laptops. Works well where teams maintain a small set of approved images.
Also suitable for organisations with multiple sites or MSPs managing client devices who need repeatable, network‑based imaging rather than manual or USB‑based approaches.
