Hi,

I wonder if there is any recommendation/ guide on how many images to use during deployment of Windows Server? I know that there can be many factors involved and each deployment can be different. So what's the general approach when you work on your reference image?

Thank you

    There is no single deployment scenario but in general you should first look into your company's requirements and draw up its architecture and identify what kind of servers you will need and how they should act and then setup your servers , when you draw architecture then you will figure out number of Nano servers, read-only domain controller and so on.
