Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Windows
All users machines are Windows 10 Pro, some older ones are Enterprise LTSB 2016. We image from PXE boot using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. As always like before, there's spiritic GPO issues and some machines falling off the domain. Overall the OS handles blue screens and external drives much better than Windows 7.
- ease of use
- ease of deployment
- ease of applying policies
- blue screen and startup error handling could still be improved
- BitLocker
- Domain and GPO
- positive ROI
- negative on time to troubleshoot issues for startup and blue screens
- Ubuntu Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Windows is fundamentally different from Linux, each shines in their own spots and has cons as well.
