- HP's bid was lower by about $33 per seat per year for laptops
- According to the governor, the PC is the tool our students must use because it is what they will "see and use in the workplace"
- HP convinced the governor that the PC is the tool our students must use because it is what they will see and use in the workplace
- An Apple tool is an elitist tool which most students will not encounter in "real adult life"
"This fall, 39,457 students and educators will start using Apple's iPad tablet ($266 per year, per seat with network), followed by 24,128 using Apple's MacBook Air laptop ($319 per year, per seat with network) and 5,474 using the HP ProBook 4440 laptop which runs Microsoft Windows 7 ($286 per year, per seat with network)...
Teachers in schools that went with Apple's iPad will additionally receive a MacBook Air to use over the four-year contract..."
It seems that the vast majority of Maine's schools have rejected the HP choice, made because "Governor Paul R. LePage and Department of Education leaders wanted to ensure schools had options, including equipping students with the PC and Microsoft technology they are most likely to find in the workplace." (source). Perhaps this is because of the arguments I made, and still make, against the switch:]
- The cost of retraining Maine's teachers and IT personnel was not part of the announcement.
- The cost of retraining Maine's teachers and IT personnel was not part of the announcement.
- The cost of replacing/re-contracting for apps successfully used in Maine's classrooms was not part of the announcement. (But today, coincidentally, there is an announcement that Google is launching an Android app store, Google Play for Education, so it will be easy to spend the money districts don't have for apps. Considering that the announcement contained this sentence, "And, as long as each student has their own Google account, teachers can deploy their app selections to the tablets for an entire class or grade from their own account", it might not be as easy to use as the announcement announces.)
- The cost of replacing Apple machines and apps purchased for district and school administrative use was not part of the announcement.
- The cost in time of (some) IT staff for reinstalling/reconfiguring server-side software was not part of the announcement.
- The cost of virus and malware prevention/detection/management apps and implementation was not part of the announcement (yes, I know few viruses are written for Macs...).
- The cost of new laptop cases/tablet covers (as needed) was not part of the announcement (it may be part of the contract, I don't know).
- The cost in time for transfer of student portfolio and teacher instructional materials from OSX or iOS-specific file formats to Windows 8 (or 7 - this has just changed and may change again) document formats was not part of the announcement (for schools not using Office for Mac).
- The cost to teachers in time lost for addressing the important areas of curricular expansion and adjustment due to new CCSS and Next Generation Science Standards was not part of the announcement.
- The additional cost to low-performing (D or F) schools and their districts, already shouldering higher budget demands in the name of test score improvement, was not part of the announcement.
- The cost to parents replacing Apple devices purchased for home with PC devices - was not part of the announcement.
The additional cost to districts and schools wishing to maintain the Apple platform as a choice was part of the announcement. This could range from relatively small to the equivalent of a teaching position, or more.
Districts will come out even or lose, depending on local vote, which might be by the school board or town meeting. Most will lose economically. Or make changes in the classrooms that will directly impact student learning and educational programs.
MacDaily News had this to say:
"Only iPad has a meaningful library of apps. Only iPad can access school textbooks via iBookstore created by iBooks Author. Only Mac can run iBooks Author. In fact, only Apple Mac can run all of the world's OSes and software. Only Mac. Only iPad."(Read more at http://macdailynews.com/2013/04/30/state-of-maine-tells-schools-to-buy-hp-notebooks-running-windows-8-instead-of-apple-macs/comment-page-3/#hf3ry8iJ1FhgjXmX.99 ")
The most important points to be made about this decision (as of today, a done-deal) are these:
- Industry does not widely use the buggy Windows 8 (probably the reason HP switched the offer to Windows 7 after the Maine announcement).
- By the time a Maine 7th grader is "in the workplace" - let's assume he/she has at least 1 year of post-secondary education or training - no operating system will look like Windows 7 (or 8) and no laptop PC (if they even exist) will look like the HP ProBook 4400.
- Maine is, also according to the governor, concerned that not enough HS graduates complete secondary education before entering the workplace. This adds 2 - 4+ more years of technological change between graduation and workplace.
- The academic world of today (post k-12 even in Maine) is platform independent. Need a PC to study science? We got it covered.
- Not all work is STEM-centered or business-centered. Even assuming that the PC platform is currently more visible in these arenas, a significant portion of Maine's graduates will enter the arts and humanities, and small or home business arenas, where Apple is a top player because it is reliable and family-friendly. Maybe Maine's governor does not care about these kids -> adults, but I do.
- Kids are not workers - they are kids. Apple products are, at this time, more consistent, secure, and app-rich (educationally speaking -> engaging) than the competition. This is not elitism - it is the truth that comes from my long years of experience with both platforms in the classroom, with my adult children, and with grandchildren.
- Apple and Maine together have created a digital environment that supports k-12 learning. Undoing this in order to meet the questionable needs of a workplace future is just plain short-sighted. HP does not [I can not tell you my source, but he/she is highly placed] have a great track record with follow-through or quality control in this arena.
- Even in today's workplace, most used-for-work apps and software are proprietary - tweaked or designed for the specific use in the specific industry. Think auto mechanics. Think hair dressers. Think Maine government. Think industrial engineering. Think medicine. Think food-supply inventory. Think payroll. Think Best Buy and AT&T geeks. Think office cubicle. Think your local graphic artist or writer. Think lobsterman. Kids need to learn to be adaptable and creative with apps - hardware platform does not matter. (This is not an argument for change when the total cost-of-change is considered). From my point of view, today's most creative and creation-making apps (that are not web-based) are iPad or Apple apps.
- iTunes is not supported in the Windows 8 environment. What will happen to music and podcast libraries as the HP contract goes forward? Oh - unless HP for ME stalls out at Windows 7.
On the other hand, I know that PCs are powerful tools. Access is so much fun that I used to play with it every day (sorry - it is not in the basic Office plan for Maine's schools). Numbers does not hold a candle to Excel. Hacking Windows is really fun for hackers. Powerpoint
is used to be more powerful than Keynote, and it is used to be ubiquitous in the educational and business worlds. Many programming language compilers are built only for the Windows platform. The new Smarter Balanced digital tests are designed to run better on PCs. I don't know specifically about Windows 7 or 8 (except what I read), but app integration on PC laptops has always been good on the PCs I have used and taught with. That's a plus. Same for the quality of graphical and video apps. OK for kids at least, even though all of the pros I know use Macs (shouldn't our artistic, musical and publication creating kids be using Apple tools?). And viruses can definitely be contained if users are vigilant (and the right apps are installed and updated on all machines and on the new servers).
My take on this? Maine can be forward-thinking, save money, and get more bang for the buck in the long run by addressing a few specific weaknesses in the HP-exclusive k-12 contract. For example:
- Invest in successful curricula and programs by using contract savings to support requests for desktop and laptop Apple hardware and apps, and mobile devices and apps, that teachers want because they will be used in classrooms and have no equal in the Windows environment. The state should not be open to accusations of limiting educational growth on the student level. Especially not in the arts.
- Put state money into giving educational IT staff complete training in both platforms (including licensed repair of PC and Apple machines). This will prepare the state for a platform-independent system by the time the next contract rolls around.
- Design MLTI and DOE training sessions with three and only three goals. Let all other app-specific PD be handled by in-house and local discipline-specific workshops (e.g. transitioning from iMovie or Keynote, from Numbers to Excel). My big three goals for MLTI:
- Teacher comfort and expertise in Google for Education apps and extensions/add-ons
- Teacher comfort and expertise with web-based apps that support the new CCSS goals (the 4 C's, textual analysis, communication of mathematical thinking, authentic publishing)
- Teacher comfort and expertise with management of cloud storage for educational use (Google Drive and Dropbox would be my choices, but there are many others).
- ... can't think of another good idea.
End of rant. If you want to visit the dichotomous, often vitriolic, environment this decision has spawned, visit As Maine Goes. Let's hope "so goes the Nation" is a NOT.
My next post will cross-evaluate the most highly evaluated apps for education.

If given its proper due, German developer Daedalic Entertainment's point-and-click adventure game The Night of the Rabbit is an utterly enchanting experience. With beautiful hand-drawn graphics and story elements inspired by Doctor Who and Winnie the Pooh, Night of the Rabbit sees players interacting with anthropomorphic animals while solve puzzles in a world of fantasy and magic.
Players assume the role of Jeremiah Hazelnut, an all-around wholesome lad with an active imagination that fuels his sense of exploration. After a fateful day of foraging in the forest, Jerry unknowingly summons Marquis de Hoto- a magical half man/half rabbit entity that looks like an elegant Donnie Darko fever dream. Marquis serves as our guide into the world of Treewalkers, magical beings that use trees as portals to travel through time and space, and takes on Jerry as a padawan of sorts to learn the tricks of the trade.
While venturing through Mousewood, a town beyond the trees, players will collect items and use them in interesting ways to help the animal townsfolk they meet. Things get progressively intriguing as various spirits and tricksters start stirring up trouble, one in particular that resembles a lanky palette-swapped version of the Skull Kid from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Other visions you'll run into include a sneaky lizard-like creature straight out of Monsters, Inc. and a wisp that looks like Abraham Lincoln sans stovepipe hat walking a pug dog. Things get really weird really quick, but like Deponia and Edna & Harvey before it, this Daedalic developed title has its own fully realized world that you can't help but fall in love with.
Adding yet another element to the title is an in-game card game that can be played with Mousewood's animal inhabitants. While fun, this card game unfortunately only serves as a distraction in a title that might already feel too calmly paced to retain the attention of select audiences.
In this age of fast-paced action titles, the most challenging aspect of The Night of the Rabbit is its inaccessibility to the average adrenaline junkie. I rather enjoyed going further down the rabbit hole and MacGyver-ing items together for intriguing effects, but not everyone will have the patience to forego instant gratification in lieu of a slower paced engrossing narrative. The Night of the Rabbit is akin to old-school graphic adventure games like The Secret of Monkey Island and Sam & Max; approaching with other ambitions will likely leave a sour taste in your mouth.
The Night of the Rabbit is a beautifully built world filled with magic and mystery, but this adventure might not meet the modern ADD needs of a generation subjected to the works of Michael Bay. If approached with the same care as an excellent storybook, The Night of the Rabbit can provide many hours of fantasy-filled fun.
The Night of the Rabbit is available now on Steam.

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Sept. 30 (UPI) -- General Motors Co. said it would end production of the 19-year old Saturn brand after Michigan's Penske Automotive Group Inc. ended talks on rescuing the car.
Penske said Wednesday it had terminated talks with GM over the possible purchase -- essentially the rescue -- of Saturn after a deal with another manufacturer to supply Saturn vehicles for Penske to sell had been rejected.
GM had put Saturn on the chopping block, along with Hummer and its European brands Opel and Vauxhall, as a prolonged sales slump amid a recession led to the company filing for bankruptcy protection this summer.
Penske announced its intentions to forge a Saturn rescue plan in June, but said Wednesday that "concerns directly related to the future supply of vehicles" had ended the effort.
GM had agreed to a supply Penske with Saturn for a limited time. Penske, not naming the third party, said negotiations with a manufacturer for future supplies "was rejected by that manufacturer's board of directors."
GM Chief Executive Officer Fritz Henderson called the turn of events "disappointing."
The collapse of the deal threatens 13,000 jobs and about 350 Saturn dealerships, CNNMoney.com reported.

Where to eat in Kusadasi - from kofta to kebabs and everything in between
Find a place to stay
Turkish cuisine has become a fusion of Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Balkan influences. The Aegean region has inherited the style of Ottoman Court cuisine, with lighter spices, the use of rice over bulgur wheat and lots of seafood due to its proximity to the coast.

The Long Term Effects of Divorce
Divorce Myth: Because they are more cautious in entering marital relationships and also have a strong determination to avoid the possibility of divorce, children who grow up in a home broken by divorce tend to have as much success in their own marriages as those from intact homes.
Fact: Marriages of the children of divorce actually have a much higher rate of divorce than the marriages of children from intact families. A major reason for this, according to a recent study, is that children learn about marital commitment or permanence by observing their parents. In the children of divorce, the sense of commitment to a lifelong marriage has been undermined.

SC treasurer: S&P's action may not hurt SC rating
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina's treasurer says a decision to downgrade long-term U.S. debt's top-notch bond rating may have little effect on the state, though nothing's certain.
Treasurer Curtis Loftis said Monday that Standard & Poor's may decide to leave South Carolina's rating at AA-plus, the rating it gave the federal government Friday.
South Carolina is rated at the top by the nation's other two main credit-rating agencies. But it's been a notch lower with S&P since July 2005.
Loftis says South Carolina's blended rate still allows the state to enjoy the best rates when it borrows money for everything from road projects to school buildings.
Loftis says South Carolina's blended rate is within the top 15 nationwide.
Fewer than 10 states have top notch ratings across the big three rating agencies.

Stress Gets You Nowhere
I came into work this morning tired -- and everything about me was tired. My body was tired, my mind was tired and my eyes were so tired I was actually seeing colored spots of light whenever I looked at my monitor.
I lost my glasses, I have no date for a Masquerade I'm going to, I need to create anther fifty + career profiles and research career ideas in addition to new articles while updating my blog as well as working on personal errands… I told my boss I would do an interview this weekend yet I couldn't locate a reasonably priced hotel, motel or campground after being told my original accommodations fell through and on top of all that my back was hurting. So I wasn't surprised that I developed a sever migraine headache that lasted into the afternoon.
By 12:30 I had enough and was ready to call it quits. Instead, I went outside, sat in the sun next to the fountain for a bit, left a long message regarding this coming weekend's frustrations to my traveling partner and babbled something about upcoming room reservations. Nonetheless, the headache refused to allow the sun to re-energize me. I massaged my temples, I rotated my neck this way and than that way. I took my hair out of the ponytail, put it up in a loose bun and put in back into a ponytail… nothing changed, so I decided to take a long walk shop gazing.
The headache persisted past each window and I had no heart to even enter any of the shops. As I was at the corner to cross back over to work I finally asked myself out loud. "What is it I can do to change anything that will reduce my stress?"
I than mentally ran over the list of what I could and could not change. I ran through what was the worst thing that could happen if I didn't do or was late in doing each item of the list. I asked myself couldn't this wait until XXX?
I hate admitting I can't do or find something and so one more time I looked to see if I could find a motel reservation in the 90% rented Bay area. Still nothing. I was ready to admit defeat when my friend called and was none too happy about something personal regarding our trip. After hearing about the disappointing problem, I got my second wind and refused to admit there wasn't one more thing I could try. So I did the second thing I do best, I networked. I emailed online acquaintances that I know either go to the Bay area frequency or live in the area. It was a long shot in the dark, but it was still one shot. That one shot hit a lead.
There is an activity lodge in the Bay area that is a cross between a hostel and a campground that not only rents rooms but also occasionally exchanges those rooms for volunteer assistance. I looked them up on the web and the property is beautiful, the atmosphere seems incredibly friendly and the rates are beyond reasonable. Too good to be true? Depends on your outlook.
While they do have their own parking, it's a two-mile hike from the parking lot to the lodge itself. There is no electricity and guests must bring their own sleeping bags as well as food for the large family / communal kitchen accommodations.
I left a message for the two-mile hike lodge and hopefully I'll hear back from them soon. However, even if there are no availabilities, I'm reminded that stress gets you nowhere while determination at least gets you a lead… and my migraine is gone.

Yesterday, we began a discussion about Bible translations. There are so many out there (and more coming each year, including my doctoral professor Scot McKnight's translation of the New Testament called The Second Testament). How do we know which one is the best and which one to trust?
There are generally three different categories of Bible translations – word-for-word, dynamic (which seeks to convey the idea of the text and make it readable), and a paraphrase (again seeks to convey the idea but is even more localized to the culture. A great example is the Message or if you want a really fun read the Cotton Patch Bible).
So what is the best translation to read when you are studying the Bible? All of them! Every different translation is an interpretation of the original language and how that particular word communicates in our language. For instance, the Hebrew word hesed can translated as mercy, faithfulness, steadfast love, love, and grace. That's five different options for one word! In the New Testament the word logos works much the same way. It can mean word, letter, a passage of scripture, or even a philosophical term. How do you know what word to use? Different translations have to make decisions on these words or phrases. That is why it is good to read at least three different translations to really begin to grasp the ideas of a particular passage you might be studying. I like to take the English Standard Version, New International Version, and the Message and compare and contrast the different ways the translators chose to translate that passage. Each translation brings a different nuance out of the original language of the text. You will learn more about the Bible if you read different translations together. Try it this week with a passage like Philippians 2.

It is during that afternoon dip, between lunch and dinner that you crave something extra. This is when my sweet tooth seems to take over, extinguishing all other thought, besides that of chocolate and other naughty sweets. Fighting this urge with nothing has been fruitless in my case, but I have found other ways to combat this… Bliss balls!!! They are so perfect. Delicious, without being unhealthy (or not completely 😛 ). This particular recipe was inspired by my aunt. They are really incredibly moorish, and really easy to make!
Makes: 20-30 balls
Preparation time: 15 minutes
- 170g nut flour of choice (I used a combination of walnut and almond. You can always grind up any nuts you have)
- 40g coconut flour
- 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp carob powder (you can replace this with more cocoa powder, or add less cocoa powder and more carob powder!)
- 1 tbsp ground chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tsp maca powder (optional)
- 145g dates pureed (if you don't have the gooey kind of dates, pre-soak them)
- 50g coconut oil
- Shredded coconut for garnish
- Add all the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine well.
- In a food processor add the pureed dates, coconut oil and all the dry ingredients. Blend until combined. The dough should stick together.
- Form the dough into small balls and roll them in some shredded coconut.
- Place in the fridge for storage. (I find they taste better after being refrigerated, but it is up to you.)
Let me know what you think. Enjoy! xoxo ❤

'Hangover free' prosecco
Consumer PR
Growing basket size by focusing communications on great value, as opposed to low-price.
If there's one thing Lidl do brilliantly, it's sell amazing quality products at unbelievable prices. So when they told us they were selling organic prosecco at just £7.99 a bottle we knew we had a good story. But we wanted that story to be great and go everywhere so we did a little research.
It can be claimed that the lower sulphate content of organic drinks leads to a reduced hangover. We carefully crafted a press release to imply just that and let the sub editors land on 'Hangover Free' prosecco just as we knew they would.
Landing 100 media titles & reaching over 1 billion
A few days after our announcement, the story landed in nearly 100 media titles with a potential reach of over 1 billion including a live test feature on Channel 4's The Last Leg. But finally, and most importantly, Lidl sold out of every bottle of prosecco in store and thousands of people got to wake up after an enjoyable night headache free*.

Never mind if the fall's new releases look a little spotty—the city's repertory houses are preparing for an abundant season, and in most cases, turning Japanese. Nipponophiles could not ask for more: Two big retros—MOMA's "Anime!!" and Film Forum's "Summer Samurai"—continue through mid September, and the fall promises nothing less than a history of Japanese cinema. With more than 50 films spanning four decades, MOMA's five-month-long "Early Autumn" (September 14 through January) presents Kurosawa, Oshima, and Ozu classics alongside the work of overlooked (and barely known in the West) directors like Heinosuke Gosho and Hiroshi Shimizu; all are new prints from the National Film Center of Tokyo's National Museum of Modern Art. The New York Film Festival devotes an extensive sidebar to the Shochiku Company (September 24 through October 20) on the occasion of the film studio's 110th anniversary; selections range from the 1921 silent Souls on the Road to Hou Hsiao-hsien's Ozu homage Café Lumiére. And two seriously under-retro'd Japanese masters also get their due: Mikio Naruse at Film Forum (October 21 through November 17) and Kenji Mizoguchi at BAM (October 31 through November 22).
Bressonites have had a fine year with new-to-DVD titles from Criterion and New Yorker; Film Forum caps it off with new-print runs of Pickpocket (October 7 through 13) and Mouchette (October 14 through 20). New product from various national cinemas are represented at annual showcases: the Spanish at the Walter Reade (December 9 through 27), the Germans at MOMA (October/November), the Czechs at BAM (November 3 through 6). The Walter Reade also ambitiously takes on "100 Years of Chinese Cinema" (October 21 through November 10). Isabelle Huppert and Gena Rowlands, two of the greatest actresses movies have known, are f at MOMA (October 17 through November 23) and BAM (October 10 through 20), respectively. The "Unseen Cinema" program of pre-war American avant-garde film returns, this time to the Museum of the Moving Image (October 15 through 16). The Pioneer stages an all-out month of horror in October, supplementing first-run scares with vintage Argento, a zombie sidebar, and a vampire all-nighter (discounted concessions for those who have recently donated blood). And there's also room for a couple of old masters: A complete Billy Wilder retro begins next week at the Moving Image (September 10 through November 13), and just in time for Christmas (December 9 through January 12), Film Forum counterprograms the Oscar-baiting bloat with a 36-film career-spanning Hitchcock series.

Native 802.1x Support for Enterprise Operating System Deployments
Provide Support 802.1x Natively w/o the use of prestart up scripts in WinPE. Many large organizations have protected network infrastructure for their environments that want to be able to easily utilizes the Deployment feature on these protected networks.

Dave Wall commented
Yes please! This is incredibly difficult in its current state. We are even having problems with Windows 10 in-place upgrade giving inconsistent results. We have implemented the recommendations from the excellent Adam Gross (SquareDozen). This isn't even supposed to be an issue: "According to the Windows 10 Product Group (via Microsoft Premier Support), an In-Place upgrade should migrate 802.1x settings." Adam Gross, https://www.asquaredozen.com/2018/07/29/configuring-802-1x-authentication-for-windows-deployment-part-4-integrating-802-1x-authentication-into-an-in-place-upgrade-task-sequence/
We are not allowed to MAC exceptions here, so for us there are many moving parts which make this very difficult to manage. We managed to get our Wipe and load OSD working, but it isn't pretty...
So anything that makes this process more friendly and less arcane would be welcomed!

For those of you following this, here's a great blog series to assist with 802.1x deployments covering various scenarios.
Herman van Drie commented
I would rather see that WiFi support (Wlan AutoConfig service) introduced into WinPE, which is already present in WinRE for Windows 10.
Also, I would love to see that OSD status messages are able to be delayed when connectivity is not present (yet) using a TS variable.
I was able to utilize WinRE with some coding of my own to allow OSD to fully run over wireless with deployment set to "Access content directly from a distribution point when needed by the running task sequence" so it would not require pre-caching.
See my tweet here: https://twitter.com/hvandrie/status/875303380977164288
In the corporate environment I work for this resulted in bare-metal installations using USB media as start up to boot WinPE media to initiate the deployment in less than 70-80 minutes using a 802.11ac network. Which was faster than fast ethernet!
Travis Vieson commented
I agree. ADK 1607 and 1703 both need KB4025632 to work. What would be nice is an option when creating the boot image/media SCCM to use the PFX specified for 802.1x authentication. In a native environment I already need a certificate to communicate to SCCM, why not have an option to use the same certificate throughout the TS. At least then I only need to worry about cleaning up certificates at the end versus getting the system to build.

We just rolled out 802.1x and we are heading for a Solution where we use Orchestrator to create the SCCM Object and also create a MAC Exception on the Radius Server. After the TaskSequence has finished, the Orchestrator removes the MAC Exception again and everyone is happy!
Fingers crossed that 2017 will bring some support to WinPE and SCCM task sequences so that we can do some OSD on a network that uses 802.1x security.
Mats commented
We have the benefit of being able to use Mac authentication bypass for the OSD phase and we do switch to native 802.1X late in the OSD TS.
Would I like to see a better way? Yes - Also stop blocking GPO:s during OSD or make it selectable. The claim that GPO:s has to be blocked for OSD to work is a piece of BS. MDT do work with GPO:s
We're headed backwards here. The latest WinPE 10 (version 1607) broke the dot3svc service. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/win10itprosetup/thread/93f32a23-7558-4742-91ab-ba0e7801ed0e/#3853df61-8dcf-4560-8b01-27da4fcca235 Those of you who are in an 802.1x environment, help me make some noise on this please.
Dustin Hedges commented
Each 802.1x implementation is different. We essentially "hack" ours together in both WinPE and FullOS to get things to work. We leverage a combination of User Account Auth and Certificate Auth (where appropriate) and that's ONLY because we are essentially forcing our Information Security department to allow it.
Not every implementation is the same. And not every site, at every company, has the luxury of a dedicated "Imaging Lab" that can be exempt from 802.1x policies.
Gerhard Eriksson commented
We are looking into if we can utilize Intel AMT so that authenticate the PC on our network because of lacking support for 802.1x. For the time being We use same method as Cristopher.
We have 802.1x on our network and in order to achieve a successful operating system deployment we have had to implement hacks upon hacks into our process. I've gone through 2 dozen iterations of our boot image trying to get the script "just right" and it is still not 100% functional. Because of this, most of our deployments are still done on an isolated network segment where 802.1x is disabled.
