Microsoft and Collective Technologies Consultant join forces to provide answers to Microsoft’s OSD Frequently Asked Questions

Faced with a great wave of interest in their recently released Operating System Deployment (OSD) Feature Pack for SMS, Microsoft today unveiled a FAQ aimed at helping customers answer questions relating to deployment.  

Larry Duncan, Practice Manager for Austin-based Collective Technologies and a Microsoft recognized Most Valuable Professional (MVP), was quick to realize that the new feature pack was going to generate an onslaught of questions and concerns from SMS administrators seeking to use the OSD features within their SMS environments. Using a combination of questions asked during a live webcast and ensuing questions on SMS related Internet mailing lists, Duncan assembled a list of over 40 key questions and answers about the product. This FAQ (or list of Frequently Asked Questions) can now be directly accessed from Microsoft’s SMS product documentation website.

Collective CEO Ed Taylor said “The addition of the OS Deployment Feature Pack for SMS is a significant enhancement. We are delighted to be able to help Microsoft keep their customers informed of the increasing capability and value offered by SMS and especially proud of Larry Duncan for his advanced efforts in making this information publicly available”.
