It works incredibly well, is simple to setup, and simple to maintain your images going forward.

Is it easy to update the image for Windows Updates and necessary applications?

I've never used Windows based imaging tools.
I just use the Win 10 free ISO to build the golden image and then sysprep it down.
I use Clonezilla to image once sysprep shuts it down.

I've used Fog for not only windows, but Apple and Linux as well, it just works.
Really a great solution, of course any imaging solution with Windows requires the appropriate rights. Not that it will physically stop you.

I use CloneZilla for imaging when possible, but to do any type of imaging with Sysprep on OEM devices you will need at least one VL license to do imaging.

No one is questioning the licensing. this has nothing to do with the question of how to do it.
Don't confuse things.

No, you are bringing in unrelated information that has nothing to do with the question.

You don't get to bow out. This was the specific question.
@scottalanmiller said in Options for Windows Desktop Deployments without Windows Server:
What imaging deployment tools that are free would everyone recommend?
What does licensing have to do with that? Nothing. It is a specific discussion about the tools available. If you want to discuss licensing, go resurrect the other thread we have on that around here.

There is no reason to resurrect that thread... gosh it would be annoying...

It's a valid and relevant point. The whole point of this "discussion" is to discuss all aspects relating to this... and licensing is definitely related to Win10 and imaging.

No, and I just quoted the first post a bit ago.. It is specifically about the tools.
