A Deployment Plan
Wed Dec 10, 2008 · 562 words

I'm just finishing up my biggest deployment project yet - 72 Macs (70 iMacs and 2 Mac Pro's). 21 iMacs got new 1TB drives, all were upgraded to 4GB RAM and all of them went out in 4 different software configurations. With this sort of job, it really helps to have a plan. Here's one:

Planning and preparation

Software and testing

Hardware

The previous might not be the world's greatest plan, but I think it has some good points and is general enough to use in different situations + it uses DeployStudio. It also helped 2 guys get this job done in less than 3 days. :)
