@obsolesce g'day. they just need the 'corporate' image on them. They're brand new.
Does the corporate image have anything additional than the one it comes with?
How about the fact that is likely doesn't come with a bunch of crapware from teh OEM
What is he buying with the PC? Which crapware is he trying to prevent?

@siringo why do they need imagef? Would a reset work? What's the background?

How'd your presentation go?
@siringo said in windows based FREE imaging app:
hello.
i'm looking for a windows based (or anything that can be used easily by a non linuxite) FREE imaging app that can perform restores via a script / command line.
I have to reimage 50 new PCs.
in the past i've used free gui based apps, booted up, clicked here and there and the job was done. But i'm getting lazy and would just like to be able to boot up, click on script and walk away.
I could afford up to 10 bucks if the right thing can be found.
thanks everyone.
You try MDT?

Hahaha, yeah use edge..not chrome even though our browser is based on Chromium.
Google Chrome != Chromium
Chrome = using Chromium engine.
Edge = Using Chromium engine.The Chromium codebase is widely used. Microsoft Edge, Samsung Internet, Opera, and many other browsers are based on the code. Moreover, significant portions of the code are used by several app frameworks.
Everybody here knows what Chromium is and which browsers are based on it.
However, Google Chrome (yes, based on Chromium, as the world is well aware) is proprietary and is just a sick piece of garbage... what Google does with it.

I would rather use every other browser before Google Chrome.
What's your preferred browser?

Nice video, but I ran into quite a pet peeve. I would like to point out I wholly disagree with Allen's definition of "cloud" about 15 mins in... that, as he says, "it's just somebody else's server... just means the server is hosted somewhere online over the internet".I know. He always does the "tee shirt definition" rather than the real one. It's because vet customers can't even begin to understand cloud and all the cloud vendors in the industry aren't using cloud but just using it as a proxy for hosted.
That's a horrible thing to tell customers and in no way whatsoever does anything for the customer except misinformes them and solidifies their misunderstanding of cloud and why it's used. That basically tells the client cloud is if you want something off prem and over the internet. That couldn't be any further from what it is and why it could be beneficial or not to them. Yall are straight up reinforcing myths by saying that.

I've had continual issues across chrome, edge firefox and brave on Android mobile
This platform has always totallysucked on every mobile device I've ever used, and still does, even on desktop sometimes. However, ML is the only site I visit that uses this platform so I can't compare it to others.

That's not true. First, his definition is incorrect. Second, you CAN have a cloud on your own on-prem servers, which that alone contradicts his definition.
To be "Cloud", it must have several characteristics, such as on-demand self-service, rapid elasticity, etc.. None of them are a requirement to be someone else's server, and none of them require to be hosted online over the internet.
Yes, there are several cloud deployment MODELS, such as public, private, hybrid, community... and, of course different service models such as SaaS, PaaS, etc. But, that's not what defines cloud.
For example, just because my physical server is accessible via the public internet, doesn't make it cloud (as it would according to his definition).
I do agree with Scott's response regarding that "modern, web-based, accessed from home... those things aren't (don't define) cloud". Additionally, I agree with Allen that cloud should be seriously evaluated for business requirements... it may or may not be the best choice for XYZ.

they have a flip phone, so SMS isn't an option, but those people are so few that it doesn't affect the masses.
Huh? Every flip phone and service I've had in the 90s and early 2000s had SMS texting.
That was definitely not my experience. I've had cell service continuously since 1992 and did not get access to texting until more like 2002 and never sent or received a text until I would guess after 2006. But I had email on my phone before that and talked with loads of people because it was common in business then, because of Blackberry devices, to have email on the phones. ANd because texting was costly and rarely available, they had Blackberry messenger instead of texting on the devices. We didn't use it, but it was there.
Not my own experience. Texting was big for me and my circle back then, regardless of your experience. Besides the point though... Being a flip phone had nothing to do with SMS.

sure it does, but those that I know that have flip phones don't text, I know three.. none of them use SMS.
Not an option versus choosing not to use something are very different things...
