I am a system administration at a cGxP facility. Currently, each time a server is required we have to write, circulate and execute the same installation qualification script. I am proposing to our Technical Change Control (TCC) board that we use VMware's template feature as a secured manner in which to deploy Windows 2012 R2 servers going forward.
I anticipate a substantial amount of resistance on this proposal from a validation resource who sits on the TCC board. I'll spare you the details.
Is anyone aware of government or other accredited sources which I can cite as this being an acceptable practice to thwart the anticipated resistance?
Thank you so much for your time, help and suggestions!
