We are planning on implementing Deployment Solution, and planning using usb sticks to boot instead of pxe.  Are there any KB articles or posts that lays out the implementation step by step?

Not sure where you're starting in your implementation, so please skip the parts you already have or know.  :)

Deployment Solution is part of IT Management Suite (ITMS).  If you haven't implemented ITMS, you'll want to start on the TechDocs page:  https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/symantec-security-software/endpoint-security-and-management/it-management-suite/ITMS/Getting-Started.html   On the left-hand side, you can see all the getting started topics, including hardware prerequisites, etc for the Symantec Management Platform, which Deployment Solution runs on top of.

For information on configuring and using Deployment Solution (DS), see https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/symantec-security-software/endpoint-security-and-management/it-management-suite/ITMS/Related-Solutions/Deployment-Solution/Introducing-Deployment-Solution/about-deployment-solution-v11592926-d762e56.html  Again, use the topic list on the left-hand side of the page to navigate to the topics you need.

For information on configuring preboot environments in DS, see https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/symantec-security-software/endpoint-security-and-management/it-management-suite/ITMS/Related-Solutions/Deployment-Solution/Setting-Up-Preboot-Environment/about-pxe-configuration-using-network-boot-service-v66360193-d768e7470.html

Finally, there is a KB (Article ID: 175015) on "How to create a bootable DVD or USB drive from Deployment Solution 8.x", at https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/175015/how-to-create-a-bootable-dvd-or-usb-driv.html

Hope this helps!
