Over the last month we've been working on deploying over 700 new workstations and laptops. This time around, I was able to get support from the upper administration to make them fully managed. I was also able to convince them that we needed to pay for installation. After a few months of negotiating with Apple and my local var we were able to settling on an SOW for the project.
The VAR would:
- Install the management and imaging software on a brand new server.
- Install and configure the pile of servers that I had in my office.
- Image, deliver and deploy the new computers.
- Ensure that the computers were integrated into the management system and our online tracking system.
We chose to use Casper for JamfSoftware to manage the computers. Casper has a pretty good reputation in the community and we decided to give it a whirl. After this is settled, we'll begin a SCCM deployment for the PC side of the house.
I'll post about my experiences with Casper in a later post.
That is all for now. Later.
