Session Objectives And Takeaways
Session Objective(s): Windows 7 deployment tools overview
Evolution of the Deployment Toolkit (BDD to MDT)
Introduction to MDT 2010
Understand the improvements/changes in MDT 2010
Introducing Windows 7From a deployment perspective…
• Setup and installation is like Windows Vista
• Scripts, answer files, and processes are generally compatible
Familiar
• New Windows Automated Installation Kit tools enhance or replace some older tools
• Tools enable new scenariosRefined
• No increased hardware requirements
• Maintained application compatibility with Windows Vista
Compatible
Introducing Windows 7Windows Automated Installation Kit 2.0 - 1/2
New tools:Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool (DISM.EXE)
Replaces PKGMGR.EXE, PEIMG.EXE, INTLCFG.EXE
Adds new offline enumeration capabilities
BCDBOOT.EXEConfigures the boot environment (BCD)
Introducing Windows 7Windows Automated Installation Kit 2.0 - 2/2
Updated tools:ImageX, WIM filter driver
New mount process (may take longer)
Windows PE 3.0New process for adding components (uses DISM)
USMT 4.0Support for hard links can greatly reduce state migration time for refresh (wipe/load) deployments
Support for migration from an offline OS enables easier deployment scenarios and simpler break/fix capabilities
Now shipped in Windows AIK
Introducing Windows 7WAIK 2.0 Impact on MDT 2010
From your perspective, little will change*Deployment Workbench, scripts updated to handle new and changed tools
Working with Windows 7 will be just like Windows Vista
• MDT 2010 abstracts the WAIK 2.0 tool changes. If you perform image maintenance tasks manually, then you will notice the differences with the new toolset.

MDT 2008Can I use MDT 2008 for Windows 7 ?
No. MDT 2008 will not support Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
There will be no additional enhancements to MDT 2008 beyond Update 1

Windows Automated Installation Kit 2.0
Windows PE 3.0New way to construct an image*
USMT 4.0New Hardlink and offline migration capabilities
Deployment Image Servicing and Management toolReplaces several previous tools, adds new enumeration capabilities
MDT 2010 makes these changes transparent

Upgrading to MDT 2010Paths and processes
Back up any customizations that you made
Please ensure that you have backed up your server too
MDT 2010 can directly upgrade any MDT releaseThe distribution share content is not immediately upgrade
Run the “Create Distribution Share” wizard to upgrade the scripts and executables on an existing distribution share
Upgrading from BDD 2007 can be done tooFirst uninstall BDD 2007 (note that this will remove files from the distribution share)
Then install MDT 2008 and run the “Create Distribution Share” wizard to upgrade the existing distribution share (this puts the files back that were removed by the uninstall)
