Big Bang Releases Beta Test of Universal Imaging Utility System Deploy Plug-in for Microsoft SCCM [Health & Beauty Close - Up](Health & Beauty Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Big Bang has announced the beta test release of the Universal Imaging Utility System Deploy Plug-in (UIUSD) for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager. 07005000 In a release, the Company said that this new product addresses the problems current SCCM customers have with driver installation and management, and will allow SCCM users to easily create and maintain one hardware-independent hard drive image that can be easily deployed to any laptop or desktop regardless of manufacturer. Big Bang said that the UIUSD integrates smoothly with the SCCM console through Microsoft Operating System Deployment Task Sequence methodology and completely eliminates the need for SCCM administrators to locate, install, and manage driver files and driver packages. A fully vetted and updated driver database will be incorporated into a UIU specific Task Sequence. The driver database is updated regularly and will automatically update the UIUSD installation. The UIUSD also enables the creation of a Sysprep Answer File that will facilitate hardware-independent images while maintaining compliance with Microsoft requirements. "We have talked to more and more SCCM customers who really appreciate the deep features and functionality of SCCM, but are continuously frustrated by arduous and time-consuming driver management," said Big Bang President, Adam Murphy. "We listened and created a brand new UIU product to specifically address the problems with driver handling for hardware-independent imaging within SCCM. The UIUSD Beta release is really solid and we are looking forward to the feedback." Big Bang is a software developer and training company located in Milwaukee, WI. In addition to development of the Universal Imaging Utility and Universal Imaging Utility System Deploy Plug-in, the company provides training and support for Symantec Ghost Solution Suite.
