In-place upgrades allow upgrading existing devices to Windows 10 without removing user data or applications. However, it has limitations including an inability to upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit. Wipe-and-load deployments remove all data and applications and perform a clean installation of Windows 10, allowing more control and flexibility but requiring reinstallation of applications and migration of user data. The document also discusses drivers, applications and packages in MDT as well as Windows Store apps versus desktop apps
ZCM Software Packaging and ZENworks Application VirtualizationRoel van Bueren
ZENworks Software Packaging and Application Virtualization provides tools for packaging, deploying, and virtualizing software applications. AdminStudio is upgraded to a Standard Edition that is no longer restricted to a single installation and is licensed through Novell rather than Acresso. Application Virtualization allows software to be delivered in an isolated environment without modifying the operating system and reduces application conflicts.
The document discusses various approaches and tools for automating the installation and deployment of Windows 7, including traditional and modular imaging approaches. It describes Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 (MDT) as the recommended toolset for automating desktop and server deployment. MDT provides a centralized console for managing tools like Windows Imaging (WIM), Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM), and Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) to configure, capture, and deploy Windows 7 images. MDT supports both lite touch and zero touch installation deployment scenarios with different infrastructure requirements.
This session will focus on Windows 7 enhanced deployment capabilities. We will explore Virtual Hard Disk Image Management and Deployment, Dynamic Driver Provisioning, and Multicast Multiple Stream Transfer functionality that is used with Windows Deployments Services for operating system deployments. In addition we will discuss Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows 7 which includes Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) to create Windows 7 deployment packages. In this session, we will show you how to deploy Windows 7 to a bare metal machine and upgrade existing Windows Vista computers to Windows 7 using Windows Deployment Services included in Windows Server 2008 R2. Then we will show you how to provision VHD using Windows Deployment Services.

Blewis Session 3 Automating Your Windows 7 Deployment With The Mdt 2010 Pres...Brian Lewis
This document discusses automating Windows 7 deployments using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2010. It provides an overview of MDT 2010 and the deployment process, which includes creating a deployment share, adding operating system and application packages, creating a task sequence, capturing a reference computer image, and deploying the image to target computers via a lite touch installation. The presenter demonstrates how to configure MDT 2010 to perform an automated Windows 7 deployment that reduces deployment time and standardizes desktop images and configurations.
The document discusses deploying Windows 7 in an enterprise environment. It describes capturing a reference computer image using tools like ImageX.exe or Windows SIM, then deploying the image to target computers using Windows Deployment Services, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010, or System Center Configuration Manager. The basic steps are to build a deployment share, install Windows 7 on a reference computer, capture an image of it, boot target computers, and apply the reference image to standardize the environment while minimizing user interaction.

Your Windows 7 testing is over and it’s time for rapid deployment! Yet while you’re excited about delivering Windows 7 to users, you might still remember your last upgrade. Deploying Ghost images might have been easy back then, but it wasn’t very flexible. What you want is deployment from a single image, where every computer starts from one golden master. You also want better naming, giving each computer the correct name automatically. Most importantly, you want the process automated so you’re not sitting around waiting to click buttons. You can have all this and more with Microsoft’s free Windows Deployment Services.
Microsoft MVP Greg Shields has been rapidly deploying Windows computers for over a decade. In this session full of tips and tricks, bring your laptop and get HANDS-ON with Windows Deployment Services. You’ll learn the secret tricks for creating that single image that installs everywhere. You’ll find WDS’ hidden solution for automatic naming. You’ll learn the tricks you absolutely must know to automate Windows installation. And you’ll leave with a functioning deployment solution you can take home to begin deploying immediately.
Are you’re ready for Windows deployment, but not ready for the learning curve? Save yourself weeks of time and join this must-see HANDS-ON session. You’ll walk away with exactly what you need to start rapidly deploying Windows 7 the moment you return home.
- Microsoft's Windows 10 strategy has one glaring flaw according to some: they haven't given developers real reasons to build Universal Windows Apps, as legacy desktop apps still work on Windows 10 and the phone market is weak.
- The in-place upgrade feature in Windows 10 allows upgrading existing devices without reimaging, but has limitations like being unable to upgrade from x86 to x64.
- PowerShell commands like Get-AppXPackage and Remove-AppXPackage allow managing apps on Windows 10, while DISM and Windows System Image Manager are tools for configuring images.
Deploying Windows 8.1 is based on tools that are around ever since Vista, that have been improved for Windows 7 and have gone even better for Windows 8 and now 8.1. The toolkit formerly know as WAIK: the ADK, which stands for Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit is just one of many. DISM, WDS, Setup Commander, ImageX, MDT, WinPE, Sysprep, Update Commander and CM2012 ... You can’t spell Deployment without them

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
