Questions about imaging: Apps and Options
Hey, all!
I'm tasked with upgrading our ~800 computers from Windows 7 fleet (a mix of Pro and Enterprise, 32b and 64b versions of each).
I like VERY much that I'm going to be able to get everything running on 64b with this deployment, so the sea-change will be complete. I also like that I'm going to be able to stick with Pro for all the computer since I can enable BitLocker on it. BitLocker was the only thing we used Win 7 Enterprise for.
The problems I've found are really not that many, but since Win10 is still so new, I haven't been able to find much about them. So far, I've got these 2:
1: Set the default browser as part of the imaging process. I know I can do it manually through the GUI, but we use MDT to image our deployments and we rely on Lync Web App, and that doesn't work in Edge. I need to be able to set the browser in our imaging process or I'm going to have a lot of confused users getting prompted in Edge for MS credentials to install Lync via the Windows Store.
2: Deploy a VPN via command line, or create an executable to install it. We've got a lot of remote users who need to dial into our network and I can't manually create the VPN for each computer which comes across our bench. If I could create an EXE which would install it - we had that options in Windows 7 but I can't seem to find out how to create it for 10.
