For decades, IT teams — both internal departments and MSPs — have been trapped in a cycle of reimaging, repackaging, and repeating. Device deployment has traditionally meant maintaining bloated libraries of OS images and manually installing software post-imaging. Even with modern MDM solutions like Intune and Autopilot, the complexity of managing multiple tenants and packaging apps can feel like trading one problem for another.

Enter ezdeploy — a lightweight, powerful Windows device deployment automation tool that transforms how MSPs and IT teams onboard machines. Built to be used by technicians at any skill level, ezdeploy eliminates the need for legacy imaging, simplifies the entire provisioning process, and scales easily across multiple environments.

🚨 The Problem: A High-Effort, Low-Margin Task

Traditional deployment workflows are time-consuming and error-prone. Whether imaging machines manually or pushing a base configuration that still requires hours of touch-up work, IT teams lose valuable time (and margin) on a repetitive task that doesn’t move the needle for clients or end users.

Even MSPs using Intune and Autopilot face challenges — app packaging, tenant-specific configuration, and constant upkeep. The process demands high effort across low-margin clients, making scale a pain rather than a payoff. Every custom requirement adds complexity. Every manual step increases risk. And in many cases, machines still need to be shipped to the MSP before heading to the end user — costing time, freight, and trust.

✅ The Solution: ezdeploy

ezdeploy replaces manual, legacy, and MDM-only workflows with an intuitive 4-step process:

  1. Create Configuration Profiles
    Build reusable profiles with software packages, scripts, and naming conventions. Reference global defaults while tailoring department- or client-specific profiles.

  2. Automate Naming & Host Identification
    Use dynamic naming rules that auto-generate hostnames based on device class, serial number, static text, or counters — no more naming collisions or manual entry.

  3. Publish Runbooks to Media or Live Installers
    Choose from OneTouch USB media for out-of-box devices, or WebStart MSI installers for systems already in Windows.

    • Integrate with ConnectWise Automate and/or PSA to push agents, auto-log deployment outcomes, and streamline service tickets.

    • Don’t use ConnectWise? Just drop your RMM or agent install scripts into the configuration profile — no extra tools needed.


  1. Deploy — Then Walk Away
    Devices can now ship straight from the manufacturer to your client. End users can launch deployment with no IT supervision. ezdeploy handles the rest — while your team gets their time back.

💡 Real-World Application

An MSP supporting a growing healthcare client used to reimage 20+ devices per month using a base image followed by 1–2 hours of hands-on configuration. Each variation in department or role required a separate image or manual software installation. Now, with ezdeploy:

  • They’ve eliminated the image library entirely.

  • Devices ship directly to clinics, where on-site staff can launch deployments themselves.

  • Technicians receive deployment results in ConnectWise, fully integrated into their workflow.

  • Total deployment time dropped by 70%, and onboarding errors dropped to near-zero.

🔑 Key Benefits & Outcomes

  • Non-technical users can launch deployments — No helpdesk tickets required.

  • No imaging. No MDM sprawl. Just clean, consistent, repeatable provisioning.

  • Low-lift setup — Bench techs can configure ezdeploy, freeing senior engineers for higher-value tasks.

  • Reusable logic & profiles — Scale faster across clients without reinventing the wheel.

  • Eliminates the need to pre-touch machines — Deploy from the cloud, without shipping devices to your office first.

🏆 Competitive Advantage

While other tools are complex, expensive, or locked to specific MDM environments, ezdeploy is:

  • Vendor-agnostic
  • Skill-level inclusive
  • Lightweight, fast to implement, and easy to scale

Most importantly? It turns one of the lowest-margin, highest-volume IT responsibilities into a frictionless, scalable, and hands-off process — saving time, reducing risk, and improving the client experience.
