IT deployment workflow for Tallyfy

Deploy system images without failed installations

Deploying from images should be straightforward, but skipped steps or incompatible hardware causes failed installations and wasted time. This workflow ensures every deployment is verified, executed properly, and documented in your asset management system.

14 steps

Run this workflow in Tallyfy

1
Import this template into Tallyfy and assign your deployment technician to verify system requirements and prepare installation media before starting any deployment
2
Use Tallyfy's 14-step process to check hardware compatibility, validate image integrity with checksums, boot and deploy without interruption, and complete post-image configuration
3
Track every deployment in Tallyfy including domain join, driver installation, testing verification, and asset documentation with serial numbers and image versions for inventory records

Verify system requirements

1 day from previous step
task
Check that the target hardware meets the image requirements. Right architecture? Enough disk space? Compatible drivers? Deploying an image to incompatible hardware wastes time and can corrupt the system. Know what you are working with before you start.
11

Prepare the installation media

1 day from previous step
task
Get your image source ready - network share, USB drive, or deployment server. Verify the image file integrity with checksums if available. A corrupted image means a failed deployment and wasted time. Make sure your deployment tools are configured correctly.
12

Boot and deploy image

1 day from previous step
task
Boot the target system from your deployment environment and start the imaging process. This might be PXE boot, USB boot, or a recovery partition depending on your setup. Monitor the progress - large images take time. Do not interrupt the process or you will have to start over.
13

Post-image configuration

1 day from previous step
task
After the image deploys, run any post-deployment tasks. This usually includes setting the computer name, joining the domain, installing drivers specific to this hardware, and applying latest patches. Some of this can be automated with deployment scripts, but verify it worked.
14

Verify and document

1 day from previous step
task
Test that the system works correctly. Applications launch, network connects, peripherals function, users can log in. Document the deployment in your asset management system - serial number, image version, deployment date. Update inventory records so you know what is where.
