Just a quick question, I couldn't find this out by looking around and have not had the time to run a test myself:
Is it possible to create image hierarchies in MDT?
Take this example where we have three images.
- Image 1: Base OS
- Image 2: Company Wide Applications (built off Image 1)
- Image 3: Specific Role Applications (built off Image 2)
Now just say we change the version of an application in Image 2.
The next time we build Image 3, will this take the new version of the application since it's basing its image off Image 2?
Also, If we add a program to Image 1, leave Image 2 unchanged and re-build Image 3, would this include the new program?
I'm trying to plan out a way of creating images such that if a change is required for an image that is on basically every machine (think, Image 1) then we only have to change it in one location.
Has anyone actually done something like this and has any tips?
