ZTI – Zero Touch Installation

Combines the MDT database, OSD and WDS into a fully automated deployment solution

Requires Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2012 U1 integrated with Configuration Manager infrastructure

Can be used for Image Deployment process

Provides application, hardware and security lifecycle after deployment

Includes MDT Database for role, location, computer and hardware-based configurations

Deployment Approach – ZTI

VOLUME ACTIVATION

Activation Methods

Key Management Service (KMS) • A server-client model in which a computer serves as the KMS host

• A KMS host key must be installed and activated

• This establishes a local activation service in your environment• .

Multiple Activation Key (MAK) • If you use a MAK key, Office client computers are activated online by

using the Microsoft hosted activation servers or by telephone

Active Directory-Based activation • Automatically activates domain-joined Windows 8 clients

• Only uses LDAP queries, not RPC for activation

• Requires Server 2012 AD schema

• Windows 8 clients only

Activation Illustration

Windows 8 clients can use Active Directory- based activation or KMS

Windows 7 must use KMS or MAK

Disconnected machines should use MAK activation

Consider VAMT 3.0
