Hey everyone! I'm in search of a computer imaging tool that can help me create images for multiple computers without the need to set up a complex server solution like SCCM or Intune. Ideally, I want something that lets me create an image with all the necessary software included and allows for a few different images for different user types. I'd love the Windows experience to be ready for users right out of the box. I haven't tackled this in about 15 years, so I'm sure there are better options available now. What are you all using that's easy to set up? Thanks a lot!

OSDCloud is worth checking out as well. It’s a free framework that allows you to use Microsoft’s generic WIMs or even your own customized WIM files.
Have you tried Fog? It's really user-friendly! If you're looking for something a bit more advanced, you might enjoy immy.bot as well. I quite like FogProject; it works great!
You might want to look into Clonezilla, especially if you're considering multicast imaging. It can be a solid choice for creating multiple images at once, and it's pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it!
MDT is also a good option if you want something that's more robust. Just a thought!
For a cheaper option, you could consider using Audit mode followed by Sysprep and then Lazesoft Data Image & Clone. The Recovery Suite is included in this package and is affordable too!
If you're not familiar with it, there are guides on how to enter Audit Mode on Windows 10 and 11 which you might find helpful.
+1 for Fog! I've had good luck with it for imaging. It’s a reliable choice.
