The second big surprise can from the fact we've installed SP3 and SP4 since then, and this process is STILL the one we prefer to work with. The biggest surprise was how well it all worked. At this very early stage (as SP3 had only recently been released), I was left without the aide of a "Scripted OS Install" (SOI) process for "Windows 7", and instead needed to build all the processes and scripts that would allow us to deploy and manage the solution. So when it came time to deploy "Windows 7 Enterprise (64-Bit)" to our site, we were still only running "Deployment Solution v6.9 SP2". You see, we've never been quick to apply the latest-and-greatest Deployment Solution service pack, but we do very much like our new technologies. And this is where this blog post comes in.
Often you end up with a much more reliable, well-documented, and tweakable solution - even if you did have to reinvent the wheel. Some times, the control freak within gets the better of you. Sometimes, you just can't bare the thought of relinquishing control of your processes to automated actions.
