Windows 10 deployment training for system buildersnorthernlightz
Windows 10 deployment training for system builders (some info cited from: www.dynamicsedge.com) is something that we believe has not been talked about very much, so we have prepared a presentation for this very purpose.
The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit, a.k.a the ADK, is the groundwork for understanding Windows 10 Deployment automation in the days of Windows Server 2016. The ADK still does work in Windows Server 2016.This presentation goes into some of what could be essential for deployment administrators and system builders like yourself to understand if you are thinking about Windows 10 deployment in your network environment.
The document discusses how work and personal lives are blurring together due to increased mobility and use of multiple devices. It also covers new generations being more tech savvy and accustomed to fast-paced digital environments. The Windows 8 operating system and apps are designed to help users be productive across different devices and support this changing environment.
Windows 10 on Microsofti viimane versioon operatsioonisüsteemist, mis kunagi algas Windows 3.1-ga. Edaspidi väljastab Microsoft regulaarseid funktsionaalsusuuendusi ja turvaparandusi, jättes üldise kasutuskogemuse samaks. Kuni 29.07.2016 saab Windows 10 platvormile uuendada litsentsitasu vabalt (alates versioonist Windows 7). Microsoft on palju panustanud, et teha Windows 10’st parim olemasolev operatsioonisüsteem ja Primend teab, et töö on kandnud vilja.
Üleminekuks on mitmeid mõjuvaid põhjuseid, alustades lihtsast kasutusmugavusest ja lõpetades turvalisusega. Kuid siiski leidub ettevõtteid, kes pole oma küsimustele veel vastuseid saanud ning migratsiooni alustanud. Primendi spetsialistid omavad mitmeid juurutuskogemusi ning oskavad vastata üleminekuga seonduvatele küsimustele. Primendi spetsialistide tiim soovib, et kõik üleminekuga seonduvad küsimused, mured ja kahtlused leiaksid vastused ning ettevõtted saaksid Windows 10-ne kasutusmugavust ja eeliseid enda kasuks tööle panna. Seepärast olemegi otsustanud kõiki kutsuda meie hommikuseminarile, kus vastame korduma kippuvatele küsimustele ja pakume põhjalikku ülevaadet migratsiooni võimalustest ja tehnilistest lahendustest.

Creating intelligent content: How to automate personalised, one-to-one market...Intergen
Now more than ever as organisations we need to accelerate our digital engagement and use our content intelligently, sensitively and helpfully.
One of the only ways to connect with customers is digitally, and so the challenge for us as brands is how do we deliver a relevant and engaging experience at scale? And, within that, how do we make sure that we're tailoring the right content, to reach our audiences in the right ways, at the right time?
In this webinar, we'll discuss the importance of personalisation in delivering an outstanding customer experience and the challenges marketers face when it comes to delivering true one-to-one personalised journeys. We will then look how Episerver's new Content Intelligence and Content Recommendations can, through the power of AI, help marketers gain deep content insights and automate true one-to-one, personalised marketing at scale.
The Coronavirus pandemic had a profound impact on the way we work. Almost overnight, organisations have had to learn how to work remotely – and collaborate effectively – often by the most expedient means possible.
The good news is that the flexible, remote working practices and tools that always seemed like a good idea in principle, have now been tested under extreme conditions and, in many cases, have been proven to be highly effective. To maintain the momentum and continue to realise the benefits, it's essential that we balance that flexibility and immediacy with governance and management. This is particularly true with 'easy to use' tools designed with user empowerment at their heart, such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and others.
In this webinar, we explore common pain points and problems arising from the explosive growth of these tools and potential solutions to those problems. We will hear from Anthony Martino, IT Operations Manager at flybuys (Australia), on how they plan to balance user empowerment with effective governance and management. We will look at practical approaches available to all customers, to continue realising the benefits of flexible working in a secure, streamlined and controlled manner.

Business Change Management is more than just sending out a few emails, doing a bit of training and writing a new policy. It is about understanding the things that make the business unique, working with people to find out how the change will actually affect them and how they feel about it. You can then provide them with the right information and tools to comfortably and confidently transition to the new system.
Equally, it’s not a one off, hit and run activity. Supporting people as they transition to new ways of working should be ongoing throughout the life of a project and beyond.
This approach leads to the development of a change strategy, creation and delivery of communications and training resources, and the facilitation of all staff training.
Working with people to understand their needs and then coming up with practical and creative ways to address them allows you to come up with targeted approaches to getting people on board.
It’s hard not to be inspired by someone who is actually excited and committed to change. Alternatively, change is never successful when a solution is thrown in and people feel that leaders are ‘doing it to them, not with or for them’.
Enters InterConnect, a proven approach that focuses on what your business wants to achieve and then works with your people leaders to give them the skills and confidence to support their teams through the transition. The approach is based on having conversations, providing an open forum for teams to discuss the changes and giving your leaders the knowledge and skills to maintain the drive for change.
With more than 50,000 new malware created every day organisations can no longer afford to risk the financial and reputational impacts of a security or data breach, which can be too much for a business to recover from. Because of this, IT managers face increasing scrutiny and pressure from CEOs, managing directors and boards to prove that they are keeping the organisation secure.
The changing threat landscape means organisations need to be vigilant and smarter about security. While businesses still face threats from infected devices and malware, attackers have also moved beyond that. For example, there is an increasing number of targeted email attacks with cyber criminals spending time to monitor communications so they can imitate emails that are so sophisticated that even relatively savvy users will open them.
This webinar will explore the building blocks required to ensure you have the roadmap required to best protection against cyber attacks. We will provide you with a high level view of the following topics:
· Audit and discovery – What are your weaknesses and are you compliant?
· Education – Do your employees know when not to open that attachment?
· Policy – Do you have the right policies for your industry?
· Technology – Where to start and what has changed?

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Editor's Notes
With Windows 8 we redefined workforce mobility by introducing a new feature called Windows To Go that enables enterprises to provide users a managed corporate environment on a USB drive that they can operate from multiple managed or unmanaged PCs
Key Messages –
Windows 8.1 supports ultra mobile work styles of users through a bootable USB that turns almost any PC into a secure Windows corporate PC.
It provides full fidelity of a desktop that includes support to touch first Windows 8 experiences, virtualization technologies such as App-V, UE-V, RDS, user state virtualization (folder redirection, offline files, roaming user profile), secure connection via DirectAccess, Data encryption with BitLocker, and same management tools like System Center that organizations will use to deploy and manage Windows 8.1.
Talk Track
In a standard PC – users boot from the PC’s internal hard drive, they log into their Windows environment and are provisioned with corporate applications as physical apps or virtual apps (with technologies like App-V). Users can store the data locally on the internal hard drive or IT can centralize it with User State virtualization technologies like Folder Redirection.
With Windows To Go, now IT gets a new deployment model for corporate environment to users, IT can provide a managed corporate image on a bootable USB drive that users can boot from any compatible PC (*Any PC with Windows 7 logo or higher). Users can get their applications, data and personalized Windows environment the same way as a standard PC.
Users can work across multiple PCs – whether managed or unmanaged making them more mobile and productive. They get a familiar, consistent and rich Windows 8.1 experience even when they are operating from an external USB drive. They can work from their USB drive just like a standard PC – even when not connected to a network. Windows to go is easy to use as it doesn’t require the user to have any special skills to operate the USB drive. Local data on the drive is secure as Windows To Go supports drive encryption with Windows BitLocker; and it separates itself from the host PC’s internal hard drive to avoid any accidental data disclosure. The organization can use the same tools (like System Center) to deploy and manage Windows To Go as they will use for Windows 8.1.
Note to presenter (1): this slide is optional; instead recommend doing Windows To Go demo – the demo can be found under http://windows8ready under the Commercial Tab – there is a section within the ‘Windows 8 Commercial demo’ document on the Windows To Go demo
Note to presenter (2): Windows To Go is a feature of Windows 8 / 8.1 Enterprise and it requires and active Windows SA agreement. Flexible SA licensing allows companies to use Windows To Go for all of the scenarios discussed above. More information on licensing at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/windows8.aspx#tab=2
---------------------
Windows To Go enables new mobility scenarios as well as other important enterprise usage. For example,
BYOD: Embrace “Bring Your Own PC” while minimizing infrastructure costs
Any Software Assurance for Windows or Windows VDA licensed device is able to run Windows To Go from anywhere (for primary device)
Any device licensed with the companion device add-on for Software Assurance for Windows may run Windows To Go from anywhere (for secondary device)
Travel Light: People travel light without sacrificing productivity
The primary user of any Software Assurance for Windows or Windows VDA licensed device may run Windows To Go from a personally owned or third-party owned PC from home or on the road (without additional license requirement) under roaming rights
Contractors: Get contingent staff up and running faster without compromising security
Any Software Assurance for Windows or Windows VDA licensed device is able to run Windows To Go from anywhere
Shared PC: Enable free seating even when people roam across mobile workstations
Any Software Assurance for Windows or Windows VDA licensed device is able to run Windows To Go from anywhere
Up and Running on Windows 8: Help end user test, trial, evaluate and take advantage of Windows 8 before it is installed on their PC.
Any Software Assurance for Windows or Windows VDA licensed device is able to run Windows To Go from anywhere
Users travel light without sacrificing productivity.
Enable employees to access their corporate environment securely from any work or personal computer capable of running Windows 8 / 8.1, whether they are outside the office at home or travelling; users get a familiar rich and consistent Windows 8 / 8.1 Experience from any PC they operate their Windows To Go from. Users can now pursue their unique work styles by travelling light and carry their work environment on a USB drive. Users can continue to be productive from a home PC even when they do not have access to their primary workplace due to an unplanned business disruption at work - natural disasters, power outage etc.
Craig typically works from his corporate office location, on his laptop provided by his company that is covered by Software Assurance for Windows. However, since he is very active and likes to walk or ride his bike to work there are many times when he would rather not take his laptop with him everywhere he travels on a given work day. **click**
For example, if he is attending a meeting in a branch office where they offer free seating locations complete with computers, he knows he can take his Windows To Go drive with him and use it on any machine covered by Software Assurance for Windows in those locations. **click**
Additionally, he may head out to the nearest coffee house for a jolt of java or to the library to do some primary research. During these time, Craig prefers to bring his personal device with him. Since Craig’s primary device at work is covered with Software Assurance for Windows, he has roaming rights to use Windows To Go on other devices outside of work. **click**
Finally, when Craig heads home for the day, similar to if he is working at the library, he has roaming rights that allow him to use Windows To Go on his home PCs without any additional license requirements. **click**
Continuance of Operations: In a perfect world, nothing ever goes wrong. Snow storms never occur because temperatures miraculously stay above freezing. Hurricanes and tropical storms stay off shore and never touch the mainland. Hardware, computers and devices work great indefinitely. Of course, things are not always perfect. Weather does not always cooperate. Devices do run into problems. In these instances, when we cannot get access to our computers in the office, or cannot use our primary devices, Windows To Go provides a great back up or continuance of operations solution.
In the event of a natural disaster, unplanned office closing, or primary device failure (USB or computer), employees receive a USB drive with a Windows To Go workspace, which includes all of the applications that the employees use at work. The employees can keep the device at home, in a briefcase, or wherever they want to store it until needed. When the users boot their home computer or a backup computer from the USB drive, it will create a corporate desktop experience so that they can quickly start working again and remain productive. This is a valid stand alone scenario, or used in conjunction with the other common scenarios, as a back up for primary devices.
Embrace “Bring Your Own PC” while minimizing infrastructure costs
Provide organizations the ability to allow employees use their own PC of choice to securely access the corporate environment. It enables organizations to pursue BYOD programs while controlling infrastructure costs related to backend server infrastructure and avoiding the requirement of having a high bandwidth network connection to access virtualization technologies. Windows To Go is secure as it prevents accidental data leakage through separation from the host PCs internal hard drive and can be fully encrypted with native Windows drive encryption technologies – BitLocker.
Get contingent staff up and running faster without compromising security
Provide organizations the ability to enable contractors to use their own company owned PC to securely access the corporate environment. The contractor is given a Windows To Go with a managed Enterprise image for the duration of their contract.
In both of these scenarios, licensing is very similar. **click**
Non-corporate owned devices that will be used to run Windows To Go in the office, may be covered with Windows VDA or Software Assurance for Windows (requires a qualifying OS for SA). Windows VDA provides redistribution rights every 90 days, therefore if one contractor leaves and another one is hired, the Windows VDA rights may be reassigned to the new contractor’s devices **click**
If BYOD full-time employees or contingent staff require the use of secondary devices for Windows To Go at the office, Windows Companion Subscription License allows the primary user of a VDA or SA covered device to run Windows To Go from secondary devices (up to four). When these employees or contingent staff go home, they have roaming use rights to continue to use Windows To Go on devices outside of the office because their primary device is covered by VDA or SA **click**
Enable shared PCs even when users roam across mobile workstations
Enable organizations to reduce hardware costs by allowing users to access the corporate environment from a pool of managed host machines. Users can pick any host that is available and boot into their work environment using the Windows To Go – Example Army, Police personnel where users are required to travel light and use mobile workstations. Users get a secure and personalized experience even when they switch PCs without the risk of leaving confidential data on the host PC.
Free seating implies a few things: **click**
Many locations where an employee may need to use Windows To Go **click**
And a pool of shared computers that will be used for Windows To Go **click**
From a licensing perspective, a user may use Windows To Go on any PC within the organization that is covered by Software Assurance for Windows.
Note: For each licensed device with SA and/or VDA, you may create and store an instance of the software on up to two USB drives. Example: Acme Inc has 2000 PCs covered with Windows SA. Their call center makes up 500 of those PCs, shared by 1500 agents. Acme is licensed to create 4000 (2 x 2000) Windows To Go sticks which can be used to provide the 1500 agents with their desktop image, and still have room to support a larger scale deployment of Windows To Go.
Additional notes:
1. Users must be the primary user on a device covered by Windows Softawre Assurance (SA) for Windows or Windows VDA to have roaming rights to use Windows To Go outside of the office.
Lets review Key Windows To capabilities – we will deep dive into the capabilities that make Windows To Go Secure, easy to use and manageable.
Provides drive encryption with Windows BitLocker : Native Windows encryption technology – BitLocker, provides data encryption for Windows To Go; thus allowing IT to maintain security requirements.
In Windows 8, BitLocker added support for a password key protector for OS volumes. This means that you can use a password to secure your Windows To Go and you will be prompted to enter this password every time you use the Windows To Go. When using BitLocker Drive Encryption a pre-operating system boot password will be used for security rather than the TPM since the TPM is tied to a specific computer and Windows To Go drives will move between computers.
Other Windows 8 / 8.1 security feature like Trusted Boot protect the Windows boot process, while anti-malware software protects Windows To Go just like standard Windows 8 / 8.1 PCs.
Prevents accidental data leakage through separation from the host PCs internal hard drive : Provides OS separation by making the host PC’s internal hard drive unavailable when booted into the Windows To Go workspace, reducing the risk of accidental data disclosure.
Windows 8 . 8.1 makes any storage devices offline by default that are internal to the machine. If the computer was booted from an external drive, then external storage drives are accessible and internal storage drives are not accessible. To ensure data isn’t accidentally disclosed, internal hard disks on the host computer are offline by default when booted into a Windows To Go.
We recommend that you use the NoDefaultDriveLetter attribute on the USB drive to help prevent accidental data leakage. NoDefaultDriveLetter will prevent the internal operating system from assigning a drive letter when a user inserts it into the computer. This means the drive will not appear in Windows Explorer and an AutoPlay prompt will not be displayed to the user.
Windows 8 has introduced a new SAN policy that by default makes any storage devices offline that are internal to the machine. An IT Pro can effectively control it by group policy - There are 3 options:
Online the host when booted into Windows To Go
Offline the host (recommended) when booted into Windows To Go Offline all host storage even drives plugged in after Windows To Go boots up
If the user has admin rights then they can override any of the above.
Enable Windows 8 . 8.1 PCs to boot from USB easily: “The Windows To Go Startup Options” in Windows 8 / 8.1 allows host Windows 8 PCs to recognize that a Windows To Go is connected to the PC at boot , thus automatically booting from the USB when present rather than the host’s main hard drive
With Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 installed on the host computer:
From the start menu, user can search for “Windows To Go startup options” and select “Yes, to boot from Windows To Go when it is present”. This will cause the host PC to always boot from USB drive first before looking for the internal hard drive. If users want to use the Windows To Go drive, they can simply shut down the computer, plug in the Windows To Go drive and turn on the computer. To boot to the host operating system, user can shut down the Windows To Go operating system, unplug the Windows To Go drive and turn on the computer.
The Windows To Go start up options is only available on PCs with Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 installed on the host computer. With other PCs (example Windows 7 or Windows Vista) – users would need to enable their PCs to boot from USB.
With Windows 7 or other Operating System installed on the host computer:
Early during boot time (usually when you see the manufacturer’s logo), user needs to go into the firmware/BIOS setup utility (this differs from machine to machine but is usually with one of the function keys, e.g. F12, F2, F1, Esc, etc. Once user have entered firmware setup check that boot from USB is enabled. Then change the boot order to boot from USB drives first (Bring the USB option to 1 in the priority order). Alternatively, if computer supports it, user can try to use the one-time boot menu (often F12), to select USB boot on a per-boot basis.
Provides high performance and broad hardware eco-system support: Windows To Go provides full native hardware access to the host machine, giving users a full fidelity desktop experience and access to rich applications. Windows OS supports a wide range of hardware and peripheral devices due to its large hardware partner ecosystem, Windows To Go provides users with the same hardware support.
**Windows 8: Store is disabled by default. Apps licensed through the store are linked to hardware for licensing. Since Windows To Go is designed to roam to different host PCs access to the store is disabled. You can enable the store if your Windows To Go workspaces won’t be roaming to multiple PC hosts.
**Windows 8.1: Store is enabled by default. Windows To Go with Windows 8.1 Enterprise has the Windows Store enabled by default. User can access the Windows Store, install apps, update inbox apps on their Windows To Go drives, while still being able to roam across PCs.
Windows To Go drives can be booted on multiple computers. When a Windows To Go workspace is first booted on a host computer it will detect all hardware on the computer and install any needed drivers. When the Windows To Go workspace is subsequently booted on that host computer it will be able to identify the host computer and load the correct set of drivers automatically.
Windows To Go is Resilient to resume user state incase of unintended removal of the USB device from the host PC: Windows To Go identifies when the USB has been removed from the host computer and automatically resumes the workspace state when the USB is put back on within 60 seconds.
If the Windows To Go is removed when its running, the system will freeze and the user will have 60 seconds to put the USB drive back into the same port on the host computer; once reinserted Windows To Go will resume from where it was left off, otherwise the computer will turn off after 60 seconds.
Internal disks are offline. To ensure data isn’t accidentally disclosed, internal hard disks on the host computer are offline by default when booted into a Windows To Go workspace. Similarly if a Windows To Go drive is inserted into a running system the Windows To Go drive will not be listed in Windows Explorer. Trusted Platform Module (TPM) isn’t used. When using BitLocker Drive Encryption a pre-operating system boot password will be used for security rather than the TPM since the TPM is tied to a specific computer and Windows To Go drives will move between computers.
Hibernate is disabled by default. To ensure that the Windows To Go workspace is able to move between computers easily, hibernation is disabled by default. Hibernation can be re-enabled by using Group Policy settings. Windows Recovery Environment isn’t available. In the rare case that you need to recover your Windows To Go drive, you should re-image it with a fresh image of Windows. Refreshing or resetting a Windows To Go workspace is not supported. Resetting to the manufacturer’s standard for the computer doesn’t apply when running a Windows To Go workspace, so the feature was disabled.
USB 3.0 drives are required for optimal performance of Windows To Go, the product team is working with certain USB Drive manufacturers like Kingston, Supertalent etc. to build drives optimized for Windows To Go. A list of recommended USB drives/SKUs is available on TechNet: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831833.aspx#wtg_hardware
The size constraints are the same as a full Windows Environment. To ensure that users have enough space for Windows, data, and applications, we recommend USB drives that at least are 32 GB in size.
Additional drive details: The controller is the storage controller and communicates between the bridge and the flash, it also dictates how data is written to the flash device. The Bridge is another controller which communicates between the storage controller and USB device. For Windows To Go, the storage controller dictates drive performance and the bridge dictates boot compatibility. We are working with the bridge vendors to update their firmware to ensure a great boot experience across a large variety of hardware.
Flash usually refers to the type of memory. Inexpensive USB drives have flash memory that you can store data to and don’t usually have a storage controller in them, they may also have inexpensive memory. WTG is running on a USB SSD (solid state drive), requiring a fixed bit. If the fixed bit isn’t set the drive cannot be partitioned. Windows requires 2 partitions for setup/installation.
High Performance and Endurance
Performance necessary for running Windows - For Windows To Go the most important performance characteristic is Random write speed and the latency requirement – no IO can be more than 1/2 second.
High endurance under typical Windows workloads – Windows To Go drive will be warrantied for 2 years under normal usage.
Note to presenter: this slide is optional and highlights the importance of using only drives certified for use with Windows To Go.
-----
In order to provide a seamless mobile Windows 8.1 experience, Microsoft only supports certified Windows To Go drives. To become certified, a USB drive must pass a battery of certification tests, as well as undergo self-hosting across a variety of PCs to test-drive for high performance compatibility with Windows 8 and Windows To Go. Additionally, certified drives must:
Be built for high random read/write speeds and support the thousands of random access I/O operations per second required for running normal Windows workloads smoothly.
Have been tuned to ensure they boot and run on hardware certified for use with either Windows 7 or or higher Windows operating systems
Be built to last. Certified drives are backed with manufacturer warranties and should continue operating under normal usage.

Windows To Go Feature Overview
The Windows To Go certified drive ecosystem continues to grow and evolve. It currently includes drives ranging in size from 32GB to 500GB, with certain drive manufacturers offering additional security capabilities such as hardware based encryption and remote kill.
To enable authorized employees to self-provision a single instance or an evaluation copy of the Windows 8.1 Enterprise image of Windows To Go. The creator tool can be pointed to a custom WIM file or standard Media provided by IT to the user to create a Windows To Go drive. With a few simple steps users can get up and running with the corporate environment on a compatible USB drive.
Windows To Go can be deployed using standard Windows deployment tools like DISM and ImageX. The prerequisites for deploying Windows To Go are: WTG recommended devices to provision, a Windows 8.1 Client image, and a host PC that can do the provisioning.
Additionally, a user self-provisioning model is available for Windows 8 only with System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1, or for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 with System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager.
A user self-provisioning model is available for Windows 8 only with System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1, or for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 with System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager.
Simplify deployment and management of Windows To Go with existing infrastructure: Windows To Go can be deployed and managed like a traditional desktop using standard Windows enterprise software distributions tools like System Center Configuration Manager or third party.
IT can configure computer and user settings with Group Policy just like a standard PC.
There are three group policies specific to WTG that has been introduced in Win 8 -
Allow Windows To Go to sleep mode : if enabled - Windows To Go workspace can use stand by states to make the PC sleep, by default or when disabled - Windows To Go workspace will not go into sleep
Allow Windows To Go To Hibernate : if enabled – Windows To Go workspace can hibernate the PC, by default or when disabled - Windows To Go will not hibernate
Windows To Go default startup options : if enabled host PC will always boot from USB first and user would not be able to make change in the Windows To Go startup option , if disabled host PC will not be configured to boot from USB first and user will not be able to change the setting in the Windows To Go startup option unless they are admins; by default windows to go start up options will be disabled and user would need to be admin to enable it.
IT can enable Direct Access on Windows To Go just like a standard PC, allowing users to stay connected to their corporate resources through an encrypted tunnel.
IT can continue to leverage Microsoft Desktop Virtualization technologies like App-V, User State Virtualization (Folder Redirection, Roaming User profiles, Offline Files) and Server hosted Desktops (VDI, RDS Session Virtualization) on Windows To Go to improve user flexibility and simplify management and delivery of corporate resources to users for IT.
Summary of how Windows To Go works –
IT provisions corporate environment (using standard Windows 8 deployment tools) to users on a compatible USB drive. Alternatively authorized users can use self-provisioning tools like creator tool for creation of a single instance drive.
IT manages Windows To Go like a traditional desktop using standard Windows enterprise software distributions tools like System Center Configuration Manager or third party.
IT activates Windows To Go through volume activation (KMS server/ Ad based activation).KMS activates Windows on a local network, eliminating the need for individual computers to connect to Microsoft. To remain activated, KMS client computers must renew their activation by connecting to the KMS host on periodic basis (typically 6 months)
User are now ready to operate Windows To Go from multiple managed or unmanaged PCs.
Makes users more mobile

Introducing Windows 8.1 Enterprise
Windows 8.1 Enterprise features include all the capabilities that customers get with Windows 8.1, plus premium features designed to provide the mobile productivity, security, manageability and virtualization needs of today’s businesses. Here’s an overview of some of the key features that will be available exclusively to Windows 8 Enterprise customers (and note this is not an exhaustive list):
Windows To Go is a fully manageable corporate Windows 8.1 desktop on a bootable external USB stick. This will allow IT organizations to support the “Bring Your Own PC” trend and businesses can give contingent staff access to the corporate environment without compromising security.
DirectAccess allows remote users to seamlessly access resources inside a corporate network without having to launch a separate VPN and helps IT administrators keep remote users’ PCs in compliance by applying the latest policies, software updates, is easier to deploy, and it can be implemented with the existing IPv4 infrastructure.
BranchCache allows people’ PCs to cache files, websites, and other content from central servers, so content is not repeatedly downloaded across the wide area network (WAN). When used with Windows Server 2012, Windows 8 brings several improvements to BranchCache to streamline the deployment process, optimize bandwidth over WAN connections and ensure better security and scalability.
AppLocker can help mitigate issues by restricting the files and apps that people or groups are allowed to run.
VDI enhancements: Enhancements in Microsoft RemoteFX and Windows Server 2012, provide people with a rich desktop experience with the ability to play 3D graphics, use USB peripherals and use touch-enabled devices across any type of network (LAN or WAN) for VDI scenarios.
New Windows App Deployment: Domain joined PCs and tablets running Windows 8 Enterprise will automatically be enabled to side-load internal WinRT apps.
In addition to these features, customers will get improvements to the fundamentals, including end-to-end security and better manageability. Businesses will also benefit from the immersive, personalized experience Windows 8.1 has to offer and the business tablets that will mean businesses no longer have to choose between the functionality of a tablet or the productivity of a PC.
Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack
In addition to Windows 8.1 Enterprise, Software Assurance customers also have the ability to subscribe to MDOP. MDOP helps enterprise customers take advantage of desktop virtualization, manage Windows features, and restore user productivity after a system issue. We have recently released User Experience Virtualization (UE-V), which allows individuals to change their device and keep their experience without reconfiguring applications or settings in Windows 7 or Windows 8. We also just released App-V 5.0 which allows virtually any application to be available anywhere and DaRT which enables you to restore your user productivity quickly. UE-V, App-V, and DaRT are part of the MDOP 2012 release which became available on November 1 2012.
Enhancing the Windows Benefits in Software Assurance
As we reimagine Windows 8, we’re also enhancing our Software Assurance (SA) benefits to meet the needs of today’s workforce. I know you all see firsthand how technology has influenced the way people work and how employees need to stay connected to their data, apps and other people from anywhere, at any time, from a range of devices. We will be making improvements to Software Assurance for Windows that provides business customers with better ways to enable these flexible work styles.
So let’s take a look at some of the details of the new licensing benefits. After Windows 8 Enterprise becomes available, Software Assurance customers will have the following new use rights:
Windows To Go Use Rights: Windows To Go will allow companies to support Bring Your Own PC scenarios and will give employees who need to work from home more secure access to their full corporate environment. With Windows To Go use rights under Software Assurance, an employee will be able to use Windows To Go on any PC licensed with SA for Windows or Windows VDA. We will also update the existing SA for Windows and VDA roaming rights to include Windows To Go (WTG) rights for working from home or on the road.
Companion Device Licensing:
Windows RT Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) Rights: When used as a companion device by the primary user of a Software Assurance for Windows licensed PC, company owned Windows RT devices will automatically receive extended VDA rights. These rights will provide access to a full VDI image running in the datacenter which will make Windows RT a great complementary tablet option for business customers.
Windows Companion Subscription License (CSL), an optional Add-On to SA for Windows or VDA, that enables BYOD scenarios. For customers who want to provide full flexibility for their employees to access their Windows desktop across devices, the Windows CSL Add-On will allow the user of an SA or VDA licensed device to access their desktop from up to four additional devices through either VDI or WTG from anywhere, on or off premise. The CSL provides a simpler, more cost-effective option with greater flexibility instead of separately licensing each device with VDA.
Simpler: With a single-user based license, each device will not need to be separately licensed with VDA or SA
More Cost Effective: Final pricing has not been announced but will cost less than a single VDA license
Greater Flexibility: The Windows CSL Covers any employee owned device and/or any corp-owned non-x86 device (regardless of the OS they are running) and provides access through either VDI or WTG
Mobile Device Management
