This chapter covered the abilities of ConfigMgr for operating system deployment, which is definitely; not an easy task. It requires very good knowledge from the administrator of the operating system installation process, methods, and tools to configure operating systems.
Operating system deployment should be maintained with due diligence, as it is very easy to perform a deploy on an unintended group of computers, and unfortunately, this means losing data.
In the next chapter, we will cover topics related to gathering various data from the operating system, like for instance hardware and software inventory. It will be presented how to create queries and collect data from Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) database, SQL and also how to create relevant reports.
