This page outlines the high-level steps to implement Windows Platform as a Service (PaaS) in a new unit.

Plan

  1. Plan and Configure Active Directory
    • Each unit utilizing Windows Platform as a Service must have a unit prefix registered in the UMROOT Active Directory forest. The unit Active Directory prefix should be used to name Active Directory objects such as computers, groups, and group policy objects.
    • See WPaaS Active Directory Considerations for information.
  2. Identify Administrators
    • Administrative users for the following roles must be identified.
      • Build Managers - Members of the EUC-PaaS-BuildMgrs groups can deploy software and can manage operating system builds using the Config-O-Matic tool.
      • OUAdmins - Members of the EUC-PaaS-OUAdmins groups can create, edit, and link group policy objects in the PaaS organizational units (OU's) in Active Directory.
      • Workstation Admins - Members of the EUC-PaaS-Admins groups have administrator access to all of a unit's Windows PaaS workstations.
  3. Identify Users
    • Prior to implementation, the end users of the PaaS unit should be identified.
    • End user Active Directory accounts that are members of the EUC-PaaS-Catalog-Users group can install software via self-service using the Software Center application.
  4. Identify Computers
  5. Identify Software
    • Identify required applications and compare with catalog software list.
    • Determine Windows 10 application compatibility.
    • Request software packaging for required applications.
    • Identify combinations of software that should be combined in a build.
  6. Identify Special Configurations
    • Identify specialized configurations (drive mappings, system settings, security configs, etc...) and plan implementation approach (group policy, logon script, etc ...)

Deploy

  1. Create Software Builds For Computers Using Config-O-Matic.
  2. Pre-Stage Computers Using Config-O-Matic.
  3. Build Computers Using SCCM Operating System Deployment (OSD).
  4. Deploy Applications to Computers Using Config-O-Matic.
  5. Install Applications Using Software Center

Manage

  1. Create and Manage Group Policy Objects With Group Policy Management Console.
  2. Apply Configurations to Computers Using Config-O-Matic.
