I used to be on here back in the 2003-2004 timeframe and was basically DevOps building Windows XP, it became rather fun and I built a pipeline for all of our PCs at work (only about 200 systems). I was responsible for all aspects of IT at that point, except for our ERP system.
It has been a rather long time since then and I finished my BS while working at that job and the next job. I have done tons of enterprise work since then and I work as a consultant doing Azure work, these days.
I use Packer to create system images these days and want to get a little more serious with Chocolatey in order to streamline the software installation.
EDIT: My desktop is Windows Server 2019 Datacenter. I have a couple of NVMe drives and 64GB of RAM and run Hyper-V for VMs.
