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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
