DeployR Community features

Windows 10 and 11 image deployment

DeployR can deploy Windows 10 and 11 images (either your own custom images or standard Microsoft ones, both x64 and ARM64 architectures), as well as Linux, ChromeOS and other operating systems. It can inject drivers (either that you provide and manage, or that are automatically downloaded from the OEMs) and install applications to fully provision the device.

Or if you prefer, it can hand off the process to Windows Autopilot so that it can take care of apps, scripts, and other configuration via Intune.

Flexible task sequencing

Using a web-based authoring environment, combined with a next-generation sequencing engine, you can easily customize the OS deployment process to add in anything that might be needed. This process will feel familiar to users of existing tools like MDT and ConfigMgr with support for conditional execution, nested sequences, error handling, and more.

Remote monitoring and troubleshooting

Leveraging the capabilities of the 2Pint Software platform, DeployR lets you easily see at a glance what sequences are currently executing, which have finished, which have failed, etc. Running into an issue? You can also connect remotely to the device and step through the sequence to troubleshoot.
