PXE Boot & Software deployment
-
What is your preference on PXE Boot deployment and software deployment?
SCCM and Software Center seem to be a joke here. Although it could be the team responsible for managing it.
We have a tremendous amount of issues with PXE Boot deployments, not installing the right image and thus nothing is installed or installed right ( Office 365, Adobe, VPN software, etc).
If the agent isn’t right you delete from ADUC and SCCM and start over..
We are lucky if Software Center works,... some times.
Published software packages break on a regular basis, aren’t available to install due to GPO, and you can’t run it ( that my group has found) in an elevated state for applications the user doesn’t see; not all applications are published to everyone...

We use Intune for ~10k devices across a handful of countries and is working great for device and software deployment.

I agree with this. Intune is replacing SCCM functionality in the best way possible.
