You need to find out what product they are using for imaging like Symantec Ghost or something. It's hard to give advice if we don't know what tools you'll be using

@Dashrender yes, have been hired, start work 3rd January 2017. I'm not getting entry level job. Please what all about Rollout and standard DSE ll duties I want to learn and practice my job next year January any ideas please
Huh - it seems odd that you would be an engineer and not already know these things. Equally odd that you would be starting straight at level II and not level I.
@scottalanmiller is right - companies just slap any ol' name on a job these days.
OK now with all of that out of the way.
Thinks you should know:
Who to prepare a system for imagine
How to take images
How to deploy images
Use of scripting to rollout changes
For Windows, Group Policy management of desktops
For Windows MDT
For Windows WDS
DevOps tools are apparently becoming a thing for desktop deployments (Ansible, Chef, Salt)
Chocolately

ChocolatelyI'd be really surprised if he used those but it's not impossible.
@jimmynelson Do you know if they are even running Linux there in any capacity?

We need you to tell us what your duties are. What does it say under your job description?

@stacksofplates is using those tools on Windows today. They are limited to Linux any longer.

Interesting. I'll have to put that in my test environment at home.

These things have almost nothing to do with rollouts - what you specifically mentioned in your OP. Rollouts are more about deploying software/hardware to end users/end points.
These things are about user configuration, I guess I'd call it a gray area.
But what do you mean tell you about duties like? Are those the duties listed on the job posting? We can't really just give you a how to on anything you might encounter. We can only really answer specific questions.

You work for a company that contracts out IT work, correct? So there needs to be a contract in place that clearly defines what your responsibilities are and what their expectations are. It can't just be a small e-mail like that.
-
@wirestyle22 ok . I will send message to ask my agency duties

Wow - that's super vague. And short term? I'm guessing this is not the job for you. I'm guessing CDS is expecting someone to come in and either a) just be moving some computers around, maybe unboxing, plugging into a network, pull and image and then put on a user desktop... or b) they expect you to be a DSE II (is that really a thing in London?) and ready to create images, build Group Policies, etc.

Maybe he doesn't - he might just work for a placement company, or a temp company. Often times those companies don't care what your qualifications are, they are just sending over a warm body.
