I wonder if it’s still used for POS such as registers?
Maybe in larger orgs. I'm guessing it's also used in public computers like in city and university libraries, as well as quick imaging of corporate computers at larger companies.
Yup. At work, we have a contractual requirement to replace certain PCs within a certain time frame. (Don't ask, it's stupid.) And we've got a lot of them. So we've got the Windows imaging process scripted to be very low-touch. (It also makes it much easier when someone leaves or has a really fucked up PC. Give them a new one, restore their data, reimage the old.)
I used it along with Fog in the military to image ~60 computers every once in a while.
