Overall, very little was applicable to the Student VM system preparation that I had hoped to gleam from the session.  There are definitely some major opportunities for DS to do system imaging and things for laptop loaner to be more efficient.

Jon's notes:

ImageX    seems to have some post processing advatnages

Windows Deployment Service is only used by WPI for PXE service

When Windows PE boots it runs startnet.cmd

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 is out.
