Jan 02, 2014  Question. This tool is the one that Microsoft obviously uses to provision example sites with content in order to demonstrate to its customers. There was or is something also from a while ago that I used to use to spin up O365 trial tenants that had a nice GUI 'Office 365 Deployment tool'. It would set up the O365 tenant and SharePoint sites.

Provisioning Tools. UNfortunately there is nothing available for Windows Phone 7. This is set to change with Windows Phone 8 though. They are supposed to bring much better enterprise support. I'm looking forward to that too! Press the 'Accept As Solution' icon if I have solved your problem, click on the Star Icon below if my advice has helped you! Aug 01, 2012  Provisioning Tools.

Windows provisioning makes it easy for IT administrators to configure end-user devices without imaging. Using Windows provisioning, an IT administrator can easily specify desired configuration and settings required to enroll the devices into management and then apply that configuration to target devices in a matter of minutes. It is best suited for small- to medium-sized businesses with deployments that range from tens to a few hundred computers.

A provisioning package (.ppkg) is a container for a collection of configuration settings. With Windows 10, you can create provisioning packages that let you quickly and efficiently configure a device without having to install a new image.

Provisioning packages are simple enough that with a short set of written instructions, a student or non-technical employee can use them to configure their device. This can result in a significant reduction in the time required to configure multiple devices in your organization.

The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10 includes the Windows Configuration Designer, a tool for configuring provisioning packages. Windows Configuration Designer is also available as an app in the Microsoft Store.

New in Windows 10, version 1703

• The tool for creating provisioning packages is renamed Windows Configuration Designer, replacing the Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD) tool. The components for creating images have been removed from Windows Configuration Designer, which now provides access to runtime settings only.
• Windows Configuration Designer can still be installed from the Windows ADK. You can also install it from the Microsoft Store.
• Windows Configuration Designer adds more wizards to make it easier to create provisioning packages for specific scenarios. See What you can configure for wizard descriptions.
• The wizard Provision desktop devices (previously called Simple provisioning) now enables joining Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) domains and also allows you to remove non-Microsoft software from Windows desktop devices during provisioning.
• When provisioning packages are applied to a device, a status screen indicates successful or failed provisioning.
• Windows 10 includes PowerShell cmdlets that simplify scripted provisioning. Using these cmdlets, you can add provisioning packages, remove provisioning packages and generate log files to investigate provisioning errors.
• The Provision school devices wizard is removed from Windows Configuration Designer. Instead, use the Setup School PCs app from the Microsoft Store.

Benefits of provisioning packages

Provisioning packages let you:

• Quickly configure a new device without going through the process of installing a new image.

• Save time by configuring multiple devices using one provisioning package.

• Quickly configure employee-owned devices in an organization without a mobile device management (MDM) infrastructure.

• Set up a device without the device having network connectivity.

Provisioning packages can be:

• Installed using removable media such as an SD card or USB flash drive.

• Attached to an email.

• Downloaded from a network share.

• Deployed in NFC tags or barcodes.

What you can configure

Configuration Designer wizards

The following table describes settings that you can configure using the wizards in Windows Configuration Designer to create provisioning packages.

Note

After you start a project using a Windows Configuration Designer wizard, you can switch to the advanced editor to configure additional settings in the provisioning package.

Configuration Designer advanced editor

The following table provides some examples of settings that you can configure using the Windows Configuration Designer advanced editor to create provisioning packages.

* Using a provisioning package for auto-enrollment to System Center Configuration Manager or Configuration Manager/Intune hybrid is not supported. Use the Configuration Manager console to enroll devices.

For details about the settings you can customize in provisioning packages, see Windows Provisioning settings reference.

Changes to provisioning in Windows 10, version 1607

Note

This section is retained for customers using Windows 10, version 1607, on the Current Branch for Business. Some of this information is not applicable in Windows 10, version 1703.

Windows ICD for Windows 10, version 1607, simplified common provisioning scenarios.

Windows ICD in Windows 10, version 1607, supported the following scenarios for IT administrators:

• Simple provisioning – Enables IT administrators to define a desired configuration in Windows ICD and then apply that configuration on target devices. The simple provisioning wizard makes the entire process quick and easy by guiding an IT administrator through common configuration settings in a step-by-step manner.

• Advanced provisioning (deployment of classic (Win32) and Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, and certificates) – Allows an IT administrator to use Windows ICD to open provisioning packages in the advanced settings editor and include apps for deployment on end-user devices.

• Mobile device enrollment into management - Enables IT administrators to purchase off-the-shelf retail Windows 10 Mobile devices and enroll them into mobile device management (MDM) before handing them to end-users in the organization. IT administrators can use Windows ICD to specify the management end-point and apply the configuration on target devices by connecting them to a Windows PC (tethered deployment) or through an SD card. Supported management end-points include:

  • System Center Configuration Manager and Microsoft Intune hybrid (certificate-based enrollment)
  • AirWatch (password-string based enrollment)
  • Mobile Iron (password-string based enrollment)
  • Other MDMs (cert-based enrollment)

Note

Windows ICD in Windows 10, version 1607, also provided a wizard to create provisioning packages for school PCs. To learn more, see Set up students' PCs to join domain.

Current Windows Configuration Designer limitations

• Windows Configuration Designer will not work properly if the Group Policy setting Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Security Zones: Use only machine settings is enabled. We recommend that you run Windows Configuration Designer on a different device, rather than change the security setting.

• You can only run one instance of Windows Configuration Designer on your computer at a time.

• Be aware that when adding apps and drivers, all files stored in the same folder will be imported and may cause errors during the build process.

• The Windows Configuration Designer UI does not support multivariant configurations. Instead, you must use the Windows Configuration Designer command-line interface to configure multivariant settings. For more information, see Create a provisioning package with multivariant settings.

• While you can open multiple projects at the same time within Windows Configuration Designer, you can only build one project at a time.

• In order to enable the simplified authoring jscripts to work on a server SKU running Windows Configuration Designer, you need to explicitly enable Allow websites to prompt for information using scripted windows. Do this by opening Internet Explorer and then navigating to Settings > Internet Options > Security -> Custom level > Allow websites to prompt for information using scripted windows, and then choose Enable.

  Jul 21, 2016  The Origins of 'Hillbilly' and 'Redneck' America's Secret Slang History - Duration: 1:28. HISTORY 66,710 views. Jul 01, 2013  The Secret History Of The Word 'Cracker'. 'Cracker,' the old standby of Anglo insults was first noted in the mid 18th century, making it older than the United States itself. It was used to refer to poor whites, particularly those inhabiting the frontier regions of Maryland, Virginia and Georgia. Origins of the term cracker. Cracker, sometimes white cracker or cracka, is a term for white people, used especially for poor rural whites in the Southern United States. It has been taken as an offensive and derogatory term to people of Caucasian or European descent and is largely considered a slur in modern usage. It is sometimes used in a neutral or positive context or self-descriptively with pride in reference to a native of Florida or Georgia. Cracker is a slang word for a white person. This idiom has its origins in slavery- white people were called 'crackers' because of the sound of a slave-owner's whip.

• If you copy a Windows Configuration Designer project from one PC to another PC, make sure that all the associated files for the deployment assets, such as apps and drivers, are copied along with the project to the same path as it was on the original PC.

  For example, when you add a driver to a provisioned package, you must copy the .INF file to a local directory on the PC that is running Windows Configuration Designer. If you don't do this, and attempt to use a copied version of this project on a different PC, Windows Configuration Designer might attempt to resolve the path to the files that point to the original PC.

• Recommended: Before starting, copy all source files to the PC running Windows Configuration Designer, rather than using external sources like network shares or removable drives. This reduces the risk of interrupting the build process from a temporary network issue or from disconnecting the USB device.
