DeployTech Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 In the past we had ~50 XP laptops that did not have internet access or network access. So I was able to create one primary image then just swap the hard drives out if a drive went bad into any of the ~50 computers. So basically every computer was identical. We had 8 spare identical hard drives. Now these computers are being replaced with Windows 10, Internet access and joined to the domain. I don't really think just swapping the drives out will be possible anymore or could lead to problems. Obviously since they are joined to the domain they will at a minimum need different computer names. Has anyone tried this, found a way for this to work or found any other problems with it.

SmartDeploySupport Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 This isn't something SmartDeploy is designed to do and as you stated could lead to issues. You will want to create a virtual reference machine, then capture/deploy that to all desired machines, then during the deploy process, join the domain, provide names, etc. Thanks, SmartDeploy Support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
