Information Technologist and SCCM Specialist in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada

Travis Owen Mehrer: Geek who was born, raised and still living in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. Currently working as a workstation technician.

While my title is Deskside Technician my work within my company has branched out in several directions. One of my major projects has become the maintaining and preparing of our Windows 7 images. This started off as a need to inject drivers into our WinPE and Windows 7 .wim images using dism and evolved into adding and removing software as well as making other adjustments using unattend files, imagex and sysprep. Recently I've started putting this altogether using Windows Deployment Server and Windows Deployment Toolkit.

Working with Windows Deployment Server has also expanded me into the setup of Active Directory and the various things that go along with that. As well I've gain considerable experience building and deploying software via System Center Configuration Manager 2012. Particularly Autodesk and Adobe software products.

When I'm not working I'm usually doing something on a computer. Sometimes that's messing around with Linux, OpenBSD or some other UNIX-like operating system. Other times it's just playing video games. Also have a love for gadgets.
