The information gathered prior to when the actual image creation project is initiated will be very beneficial and make the process more efficient. Once this preparation phase is complete, the involved teams will have the information they require to begin the project and all future imaging processes will become more organized and simplified, thus eliminating costs and fact finding each time a new image is required. ► Determine the project scope, deliverables and schedules. Communicate this to all involved parties. ► A list of contact names and responsibilities for all team members should be created. ► A list of all global customer locations should be created. ► Allocate the standard hardware for image creation, testing and support. ► Outline the imaging and ThinkVantage tools that will be used in the image creation process and that will be installed on the PCs. – ImageUltra Builder for imaging – Rescue and Recovery for backup and recovery – System Migration Assistant for transferring user settings – Web-D and Software Delivery Assistant for post imaging application installations – Access Connections and Active Protection System for IBM laptops (mobile computers) – Update Connector for IBM driver updates – Embedded Security Subsystem for security 4 ThinkVantage Technologies: Using ImageUltra Builder Create Image layout Drag-n-drop modules Maps Deply Image modules to Service Partition Deploy, Install
1.3.1 Hardware – Access IBM for support and system information ► Organize communication team meetings to discuss the project during each phase. – Connectivity There are several steps that need to be taken before the technical teams can become fully engaged. Completing these up front will save time and effort once the project begins. All engaged team members should be setup with the following if applicable: ► Security IDs ► Network IDs ► Remote access IDs and software ► Badges ► Server location information supplied to all the team members. This would include project required server share names, application and storage shares. If this has not been previously outlined, create a static location for all software and image storage. This will keep consistent all images, testing software and documentation. This section outlines the current and future PC hardware infrastructure. ► Create an outline of the current standard PC hardware and all legacy systems that are to be supported. This should include: – Make/Manufacturer – Model – Part number – A ratio of each model in production and if location or business units have unique hardware. – Specifications for each model – Determine if the hardware standards are standard models or if custom modifications been made. If true, what has been added or removed. ► Document information on where PCs are being purchased. – Manufacturer direct – A supplier ► Create an information package on the PC ordering schedule. This will help determine the imaging schedule for new image or image updates. – Orders are placed every quarter – Orders are placed Ad-hoc ► Determine a schedule for evaluating new PC models. This will also help your image creation schedule. – Every quarter – Every year – Determined by manufacturer roadmap – Is there a standard product family, such as ThinkPad or ThinkCentre. Chapter 1.
