My thought would be that because the hardware is not exactly the same the image would push fine but the NIC drivers are not exactly the same so when you do login as administrator then Windows updates the new driver (which i would assume at this point it has it built it) and upon reboot it now has networking capabitlity…
Thats just my thought 🙂

You go, /u/Junkhacker! I would love to have bit torrent sync, so long as it allows me to lower my overall deployment time when doing 6+ clients.

I can’t use multicast because that hurts our network in a VERY bad way (all network traffic basically halts), so I use 5 concurrent single casts typically to about 30 computers at a batch.

Thus, whatever you do, my deplying to 6-10 clients takes about 2x as long as 1 client does. If the torrent send can reduce that number for 6+ to 1.5x of 1-5 clients, then I would be extremely happy and would find great benefit for my company.

If it works as good as possible, I would expect total deployment time for 30 clients to be like 15-20% of what it currently is.
