Windows 10 automated deployment

[Look]

Just a quick whip around the table, anyone managed to get Windows 10 to deploy automagically? What process are you using?
I am trying to get it working using some method involving SCCM but was interested in what other people did, especially on 10.11 machines with new storage.

@Look Our Windows admin team have just managed to have it working through SCCM, this does not use BootCamp but a straight Windows 10 only

This is the script We use from casper Imaging to kick it off. Unfortunately I don't know enough about windows to tell you exactly how it is done. I will have a chat to out Windows Admin guys to see if there is anything in the bin file thats has password etc in it, otherwise I can share this with you as well

#!/bin/sh

diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ Macintosh HD /dev/rdisk0

mount -t smbfs -o nobrowse //UN:PW@server/Library$/Mac/winimage /tmp/1/

umount /Volumes/Macintosh HD

dd if=/tmp/MAC-ALTIRS-AUTOMATION-3Partition.bin of=/dev/rdisk0 bs=512

exit 0

[Look]

Looks like it.
wipes the first internal drive completely formating it as normal Mac as it goes.
mounts a server share
directly writes the contents in a bin file from the share to that disk, possibly containing 3 partitions judging by the name.
I assume when it's finished you end up with some kind of bootable partition for the Windows side that then automates SCCM deployment or something?

@c0up3 You sure that's using SCCM? The name of the image file includes ALTIRS, which sounds a lot like Altiris.

[BOBW]

yeah, we were using altiris to do the same job, this is me being lazy and just copy paste the name of the bin file from altiris onto the new updated scam bin file

Spoke to the Windows guy and he is going to write up some dock which I can share, he mentioned IPXE and thumb drives as my eyes sorta glazed over.....

[Look]

I dabbled with IPXE but yeah it seemed rather complex, not that any other method isn't also!
Best I can manage so far is running a script on OS X then booting to an SCCM USB drive, formating the FAT32 to NTFS and then deploying like that.
