Windows 7 Deployment Workshop: Migrating from XP and Rolling Out New Machines with Windows 7

Windows 7 is here. Your organization is poised to make the move. But do you have the tools and knowledge to successfully migrate your XP machines (maintaining user`s settings and data) as well as deploy Windows 7 to bare metal (new) machines? Microsoft Desktop Deployment Product Specialist and Setup and Deployment MVP Rhonda Layfield will walk you through the process. She will show you how to leverage Microsoft`s free deployment tools. You`ll walk away from this 2 1/2 day workshop with the knowledge to be able to choose which deployment tools are right for you (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 or Windows Deployment Service or both) and the skills needed to plan and execute your deployment of the desktop OS.

Topics covered: Installation, how it works, network traffic, whether client side agents are required, finding your apps-discover what is actually running in your environment that you don`t even know about, fixing (mitigating) your applications
