Hey everyone! I'm a college student starting my first job as a junior IT analyst, and I'm tasked with formatting over 70 laptops to either a Dual-Boot configuration (Ubuntu & Windows 11) or just plain Windows 11. I've successfully uploaded both the Dual-Boot and Windows images to a NAS, which I access through Clonezilla to deploy onto the devices. Currently, I boot from a Clonezilla USB I created with Rufus, navigate through the Clonezilla GUI, and select the image manually. I'm aiming for a more efficient process where I can just boot from the USB, choose either the 'Dual Boot Image' or 'Windows 11 Image,' and then walk away while the imaging happens. Is there a way to automate this process? Thanks!

Honestly, you might want to ditch Clonezilla altogether and check out FOG Server instead. It could make your life a lot easier with the mass deployment of images.
FOG is solid for this kind of work. You’ll save a ton of time!
Have you considered using PXE boot? It would streamline the process significantly since you can set up your laptops to boot from the network rather than individually handling USB drives.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely look into FOG Server.
