[Casper] Deploy Studio

[Criss Myers]

Hi Thomas

I would be interested in researching this maybe in a week or too. I  
currently don't deploy windows but it's something we have looked into  
and preplaned. We create a 20% partion when imaging ready for a  
windows deployment so that in the future we can deploy windows without  
having to reimage. But I've not tested the Casper stuff yet. So I will  
be looking into this and deploystudio for research purposes.
