Deploying Windows XP Mode

We have recently published a very handy video / guide / set of scripts to help with anyone who needs to deploy either a standard or customized version of Windows XP mode to a large number of virtual machines.

The first thing to look at is the deployment video – available here:

https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f0ef9c63-2d2d-4f18-be39-57f8e794fe07

Then you can go and grab the associated white paper / scripts from here:

https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9f142a1a-a7b7-4d0b-bd56-d9627f39c14f

This will give you the necessary tools to do such things as:

  • Automate installation of Windows XP Mode
  • Customize Windows XP Mode for your environment
  • Build your own template Windows XP virtual machine for deployment in your own environment

Good stuff.

Cheers,
Ben

    Will/how will XP Mode be supported after April 2014 when extended support for Windows XP ends?

    Windows XP mode does not change the support statements / life cycle around Windows XP. Cheers, Ben
