Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
I heard about devbox [1] but I haven't tried it yet. Perhaps it could suit your needs.
Back in the day I used "Norton Ghost" to create a full image of a just-installed windows just in case I needed to go back in time. Windows includes a snapshot feature built-in but I did not really trusted it. These days you can use a "sysprep" tool [2] to create a similar system snapshot. Make a partition and keep everything you don't want deleted on drive D: or something :-).

Have i made my own linux distro? ^_^
For provisioning the machines base image consider FOG it uses PXE and can remotely provision dozens of machines using multicast.

Same. We set up 1 device how we want to, then use FOG to clone the other devices

How to : Proxmox Windows VM to discard changes after reboot
With standard computers, I usually deploy something like the fog project and automate the process over pxe with scheduled reboots. I guess you could do that as well with your VMs but that seems overkill.

Best procedure to run a small computer lab.
you could setup a PXE server and automate installs. you could also clone them and reapply the image as needed. https://fogproject.org/ or lookup CloneZilla both are open source

Can you auto-wipe to base image without domain?
Microsoft used to have a free tool called SteadyState to do this, but it's been discontinued for a while. It took a different approach of undoing changes rather than restoring from image but it worked great with Kiosk mode. There are remote management tools that can wipe and reimage managed machines, most of them don't require an AD domain. As an example FOG Project.

Overmind, a better foreman or bin/dev for your Procfile
I was confused because there is https://github.com/ddollar/foreman and https://github.com/theforeman/foreman

Deploying 100+ windows 10 devices per week. Need to automate.
In case you're unable to use intune, a free approach might be https://theforeman.org/ That works well for provisioning baremetal windows (with discovery image or pxe boot) once you've set it up. It supports script access as well as a nice hierarchy for configurations. But it's really not as well documented as it should be.

Stockpiling Linux ISOs?
The iso images are typically locked at a certain verison. The update repositories sounds like what you are looking for to cache updates. Look into theforeman.org and specifically the plugin Katello. This is an upstream for Red Hat's Satellite product. Another option would be Canonical's MAAS. Both of these options Sound like what you are headed for unless you really just mean synchronize into a folder and store the images in which case yeah.....just use rsync.

Repo satellite 6 beta error 404 repomd.xml
Alternatively, you can use Foreman+Katello, the upstream base of Satellite, to get started in learning the platform. You can also use the component matrix to use the versions that most closely resemble Satellite.
