Windows Deployment Enhancements

Medium

Multiple Stream TransferMultiple bands to broadcast images to clientsOptimized rates per client connection

Client Auto RemovalSlower clients can be dropped to unicast or entirely (only in standard multicast)

Boot Image MulticastWindows PE boot images can use multicast (clients with EFI)



Dynamic Driver Provisioning

ClientWDS ServerImages Drivers

• Fewer, Smaller Images• Integrated into WDS for Unified Experience• Control Which Machines Receive Which Drivers• Updates Don’t Have to Be Added to Each Image



• Configure Windows Deployment Services

• Deploy Windows 7 to a New Computer

• Use Multicast Transmissions to Deploy Multiple Clients

Demonstration: Automating Deployment Using Windows Deployment Services



Agenda

• Modifying Windows 7 Operating Systems with DISM





VHD Deployment Overview

Virtualization Increasingly Common in the EnterpriseDifferent Image Formats Have Meant More Maintenance

WIM for physical machinesVHD for virtual machines

Native VHD Boot Enables Unification and Lower Costs

The Deployment Workbench



• Attach and Explore a Virtual Hard Disk File

• Create an Unattended Setup File

• Deploy Windows 7 with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit

Demonstration: Provisioning Virtual Machines



Session Summary

• DISM replaces and enhances several older tools to service and manage images

• Windows Deployment Services enables you to remotely deploy Windows

• MDT is another way to create low-touch remote operating system deployments
