For a system administrator at KeckObservatory, setting up a new client PC(“client deployment”) takes 3-5 man-hours.
ProblemProblem
SolutionSolutionAutomate client deployment using MicrosoftDeployment Toolkit 2008 (MDT 2008) over anetwork connection to the target client PC.

Bandwidth Usage Sample (Heavy Load)
• Doesn’t work with Zip Drives
• Requires DHCP
• Hard drive space
• Bandwidth
BenefitsBenefits Limitations Limitations•Very little user interaction
•Should reduce time todeploy
•One OS image vs. 1 perdifferent PC
•Greater flexibility ResultsResults Net time to complete client deployment: 1-2 hrsNet time to complete client deployment: 1-2 hrs
Net human interaction time: 1-15 minutes Net human interaction time: 1-15 minutes

This is where you manage and store the files andtools necessary for deployment
The Task Sequence allows customization fordeployment and/or image creation to thetarget client PC
The Deployment Point creates theenvironment for deployment and allowscustomization with LTI

• Mock Server sends the OS image andsource files to Main Server
• Main Server deploys OS Image and otherfiles to Target Client PC
• Future implementation will upgradehardware for the Mock Server
