Imaging Best Practices

# Only load Network drivers onto the Windows PE boot images.
# 
# Always use a virtual machine to build reference images.
# 
# Never use a Panasonic demo unit as a image master.
# 
# Panasonic's OEM license does not support mass-deployments.  Purchase the Volume License Conversion, which upgrades the OEM license to Professional Volume License.
# 
# Panasonic suggests performing wipe-and-loads instead of in-place upgrades.
# 
# Use the “Powershell App Deploy Toolkit” to wrap silent application installations.
# 
# Use the http://panasonicdeployment.com site to locate the latest driver packages.
# 
# Use Enterprise CAB driver packages over One-Click Bundles, if possible.
# 
# Wireless WAN driver packages are hosted on our http://business.panasonic.com/support-computerstablets-otherdownloads-wirelesscarrier site.
# 
# When encountering issues, download the latest Intel LAN driver from http://downloadcenter.intel.com
# 
# Use x64 Boot images, because they support both legacy and UEFI system BIOSes.
# 
# 
In SCCM:

# We suggest to use the "Apply Driver Package" and not the "Auto Apply Drivers".
# 
# If vendor is deploying image, provide vendor a “Pre-staged Media”.
# 
# Integrate MDT extensions into SCCM for additional functionality.
