Prestaging Client Computers
Benefits of Prestaging Client Computers
Prestaging clients provides three main benefits:
An additional layer of security. You can configure Windows Deployment Services to answer only prestaged clients, therefore ensuring that clients that are not prestaged will not be able to boot from the network.
Additional flexibility. Prestaging clients increases flexibility by enabling you to control the following. For instructions on performing these tasks, see the "Prestage Computers" section of How to Manage Client Computers.
* The computer account name and location within AD DS.
* Which server the client should network boot from.
* Which network boot program the client should receive.
* Other advanced options — for example, what boot image a client will receive or what Windows Deployment Services client unattend file the client should use.
The ability for multiple Windows Deployment Services servers to service the same network segment. You can do this by restricting the server to answer only a particular set of clients. Note that the prestaged client must be in the same forest as the Windows Deployment Services server (trusted forests do not work).
