WinINSTALL V10 Released

HOUSTON and LONDON, January 14, 2009 - Scalable Software, a leader in IT Asset Lifecycle Management solutions, today announced the release of WinINSTALLTM 10, the newest version of its PC lifecycle and configuration management solution.

WinINSTALL 10 has been designed to help customers solve real-world IT problems such as managing too many products from different vendors, managing large distributed enterprise computing environments, and preparing for the daunting task of migrating to the Windows Vista operating system.

“WinINSTALL remains one of the most useful and powerful tools for managing a PC infrastructure,” says Mark Cresswell, President and CEO of Scalable. “This new release helps our customers experience the same level of control, process automation, and ease of use in managing Windows Vista as they have with all of the previous versions of the Windows operating environment. From scanning your environment for Vista- compatible systems to quickly and easily deploying software, installing patches, and managing IT assets, WinINSTALL 10 sets a new standard for PC lifecycle and configuration management solutions”

WinINSTALL 10 offers an easy-to-use, integrated solution that includes MSI packaging, operating system deployment, patch management, asset management, computer personality migration and software deployment. Numerous new capabilities include:

  • Vista readiness evaluation and reporting
  • Full Vista client support
  • Vista Profile capture and migration
  • New application data and settings migration support for Microsoft Office 2007 Microsoft Internet Explorer 7
  • Scalable to large distributed enterprise computing environments

Another major enhancement in version 10 is secure disk decommission. WinINSTALL 10 PXE includes two predefined “erase rules” that follow US Dept. of Defense guidelines, and also allows administrators to create custom erase rules. In addition to decommissioning, the erase rules can be applied during a regular client reset. The hard drive (or drives) is first securely erased, and then the new operating system is installed followed by a load set of applications.
