@C-M said in How do fog images work and can it do this?:

I’d prefer the thin method as it seems easier to keep up to date and add and remove apps at will.

Both thin and fat images have their place. If you update your images every quarter (to have the latest windows updates) then adding in your software is not a big deal (as long as MDT does it). There isn’t any more work involved than having a thin image and layering on the applications post deployment. Plus with a fat image I can go from bare metal to fully deploy and ready to move to the work site in about 13 minutes. That is with MS Office, SAP GUI, AutoCAD, and a few other PIG applications.

Using a fat image (and a multicast deployment) I can redeploy to a whole lab (50 workstations) in about 20 minutes. With that said there is also uses for thin images where you might have a dynamic application load. In that case we push the image out with FOG and then use PDQ Deploy to deploy the application set to the workstation. (I could use FOG Snapins for this too, we just had PDQ Deploy setup first).
