There's really not much to say about this Jump Start other than the fact that I already have MDT 2013 Update 1 for deploying Windows 10 like I'm already doing right now after having sufficient solutions. I had already anticipated the newest deployment tools like the Windows 10 ADK which should have Windows 10 PE as well as the final version of MDT 2013 Update 1 which at that time, it still had yet to be finalized while Windows 10 ADK was already finalized. New to Windows 10 ADK is the Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer and somehow, it is like Windows System Image Manager or something where you can customize the answer file component by component which can be useful for automatic specification of the information during Windows Setup. Also, the existing versions of today's System Center Configuration Manager are already supporting Windows 10 deployment via some updates provided that you have the latest service packs and cumulative updates needed for that.
Unfortunately, at that time, other things still had yet to be finalized as well such as RSAT for Windows 10, Windows 10 IOT or something and of course, Windows Server 10 which is now at Technical Preview 3. That server variant may be based on Windows 10 but at a later build and especially when it has all the latest features of Windows 10 RTM like the new login screen, new wallpapers, new event sounds, etc. However, there are still older stuffs intact when I checked out the Windows event sounds from default sound scheme in Sounds properties. I could have called that tab, Event Sound tab because when a message box occurs, there should be an event sound for instance. From there, not all event sounds are new in Windows 10 as if even at the RTM stage, they still have yet to work on in adding and improving features in Windows 10 as if they're milking it for years and especially that there's a post-RTM build for insiders.
Other stuffs I saw included the migration of the user settings between
Windows 8.1 and 10 and it was why the prototype Windows 10 wallpaper was
migrated along when I installed Windows 8.1 trial the last time
probably due to the fact that one of the Insider Preview builds was
unbootable on various physical machines unless some options in the BIOS
were turned off. However, its later build solved those reboot-loop
problems as tested on booting up from that build's setup DVD in which I
was able to see the setup screen.
Deployment Progress
The Enterprise edition of Windows 10 has full security opt-out options unlike the other editions of Windows 10 in which some of the features cannot be disabled. Also, the Pro and Home editions downloaded from Microsoft via Media Creation Tool or whatever cannot be imported straight to MDT or SCCM for deployment. Regardless of prototype or final stage, it's not going to work that way. I already have the reference image of the Enterprise Edition evaluation in the MDT with various things configured with the help of the external sources found on the net. The next phase will be to do the same thing for the server variant as well as Windows 8.1 with Update.
The recent problem I have is regarding the domain user account policy that should be applied to the clients in the domain. How do I apply the Windows 8.1 and 10 policies to those accounts including the new ones?
Networking Rant
I still have some networking rants in my head against various Microsoft sub-domains and websites including Microsoft Virtual Academy as their networks are unspeakably sensitive compared to other websites which are working quite well. Maybe those networks running those sites are to blame for technical stupidity acts and I don't know what the hell are those setting up and maintaining those networks are doing. Scold them, or maybe those US ISPs! They don't know what the hell are they doing that affects the Microsoft networks in the US a lot that made me freak out over networking misbehavior. And why are some of the video players on MVA still using Adobe Flash. Are they lazy or something? Why isn't the MVA site using HTML5-only media players on all courses and Jump Starts? Maybe my feedback two years ago wasn't quite enough? I don't even know if the whole MVA website works well in Microsoft Edge. Lastly, if this is the way those networks I mentioned continued to work like that like a bunch of robotic idiots bought or designed by idiots from some idiotic companies, that will cause another major layoff to happen one day.
