Tiivistelmä
Imagine a great tool built to make the installation and administration of multiple Windows clients a piece of cake, which is also open source and free of charge. This tool exists for Linux servers and is called Open PC and Server Integration – abbreviated OPSI.
The main purpose of this thesis is to describe the installation process and basic functions of OPSI. The core task was to create system documentation on OPSI, which describes several aspects from evaluation, planning, realisation, management and finally to testing. The secondary objective was to create a user documentation that will support the execution of most common OPSI functions.
The basic functions of OPSI are vividly depicted and described. To ensure the quality of the OPSI environment, a detailed test plan has been elaborated for this project. The component testing was done with two Windows clients. Additionally this thesis picks up subjects, which deal with OPSI server security, server configuration and monitoring.
Currently OPSI is widely used in Germany. Unfortunately it isn’t as wide spread in the rest of the world. The goal is to point out the advantages of OPSI to make it attractive for Finnish companies and overall the globe.
