Actually was using a number of linux NAS boxes to migrate 12K XP PCs and it worked flawlessly. It was also a snap to sync all points using rsync George On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 10:01 AM, Bain.John <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hey Folks, Has anyone ever looked into creating a Linux based deployment point. I’m just making a mental checklist of things I would need and I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Checklist: • Tftp server • Dhcp server • Http server to help tftp server • PXELinux config to boot litetouch.bin • SMB file share of MDT deployment point If it’s possible then I don’t see why multicasting wouldn’t be possible as well. For those who say just use WDS, I’m pretty sure there is a cost to using WDS …. Cost of a MS server license.
