Deploy Studio

Deploy Studio is a program that allows you to clone your current hard drive image and deploy it onto other computers. This has been useful in keeping our Mac computers up to date for the students to use. I took myself through about a days worth of self guided learning through the help pages and pdf's of the Deploy Studio website. I was able to copy the current images and put in on another computer. Not without hiccups before understanding clearly what I need to do. The major step need for me to use this application was creating a new os on a portable hard drive in order to run Deploy Studio off. Also setting up the program in relation to creating a server took me a few goes. Overall it was a good experience in which I will be able to take these skills and utilised them in the future to make out workflow smoother.
