About the Book

Microsoft's Zero Administration Kit for Windows (ZAK) provides powerful tools and services for centrally controlling and managing user workstations--and dramatically reducing your total cost of ownership. However, implementing these tools can be complex-and Microsoft's documentation leaves much to be desired. Now, a Windows expert with extensive ZAK experience walks you through every step of the process, giving you all the real-world help and insight you need to deploy and manage ZAK successfully. Discover how ZAK system policies and user profiles enable you to secure desktops so that users cannot interfere with them-thereby slashing help desk calls. Learn how to streamline system rollouts by standardizing on one (or a few) easy-to-support configurations. Master ZAK tools for controlling application installation, preventing users from adding unauthorized, unlicensed, and difficult-to-support software. Learn how to adapt ZAK's built in AppStation and TaskStation models to your own needs, and use ZAK with Microsoft's System Management Server to enhance network management, software distribution, inventorying and remote diagnostics.
