This post by David Papkin is about\u00a0 Using MDT to Deploy Windows 10\u00a0Desktops<\/p>\n
The Microsoft Deployment Toolkit is a unified collection of tools, processes, and guidance for automating desktop and server deployment. In addition to reducing deployment time and standardizing desktop and server images, MDT enables you to more easily manage security and ongoing configurations. MDT builds on top of the core deployment tools in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) with additional guidance and features designed to reduce the complexity and time required for deployment in an enterprise environment.<\/p>\n
MDT 2013 Update 1 supports the deployment of Windows\u00a010, as well as Windows\u00a07, Windows\u00a08, Windows\u00a08.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2. It also includes support for zero-touch installation (ZTI) with Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Install your operating system and any other customizations on the computer you are going to capture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
1. Open MDT, then expand Deployments, then expand your deployment share
\n2. Right click \u201cTask Sequences\u201d and select \u201cNew Task Sequence\u201d
\na. Task Sequence ID: Capture
\nb. Task Sequence name: Capture Image
\n3. Select the \u201cSysprep and Capture\u201d Task Sequence template
\n4. Select your Operating System
\n5. Do not specify a product key at this time
\n6. OS Settings screen \u2013 modify as desired
\n7. Admin Password – enter the password you wish for the local administrator account
\n8. Continue until you get a Finish button to click
\n9. Right-click your deployment share and select \u201cupdate deployment share\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
1. Log in to the computer you are trying to capture
\na. Typically this would be with the local administrator account since the computer should not be joined to the domain and usually during the build process local accounts are not added
\n2. Open a CMD windows and enter the following
\na. Net use * \\\\MDT1\\Deploymentshare$
\nb. When prompted enter credentials for a user who has Write permissions to the \\\\MDT1\\Deploymentshare$ folder in the format of: domain\\user
\ni. Note: typically this would be a user with Domain Administrative rights
\nc. When prompted enter the password for the user entered above
\n3. Enter the following to run the Litetouch sequence
\na. \\\\ MDT 1\\Deploymentshare$\\scripts\\litetouch.vbs
\nb. Depending on your deployment share is set-up (i.e. which screens to skip) you may need to select \u201cDeploy Computer\u201d, enter a username and password, etc.
\nc. When you get to the Task Sequence window select your \u201cCapture Image\u201d sequence
\nd. Select the \u201cCapture an image of this reference computer\u201d option
\ni. It should default the MDT share\\Captures folder and a default file name
\ne. Once the sequence starts running it will reboot into WinPE, Sysprep and capture the image for you. The image will be placed here: \\\\ MDT 1\\Deploymentshare$\\Captures
\ni. NOTE: Be patient \u2013 depending on how large the image is this can take a while<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In order to use your custom image you must import it into your Deployment Share\u2019s Operating Systems folder. Once there it becomes available under the \u201cInstall\\Install Operating System\u201d section\\task in your Task Sequence<\/p>\n
1. Open the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit program
\n2. Expand the Deployment Shares, then your deployment share until you see the \u201cOperating Systems\u201d folder
\n3. Right-Click \u201cOperating Systems\u201d and select \u201cImport Operating System\u201d
\n4. Select \u201cCustom image file\u201d <Next>
\n5. Browse to the folder that contains your custom image file \u2013 typically this would be the \u201cCaptures\u201d folder on the computer running MDT
\n6. Double-click the captured WIM file to select it and return to the prior screen
\n7. Select the \u201cMove the files to the deployment share\u2026.\u201d checkbox in order to save space in your deployment share
\n8. Setup files are not needed
\na. The setup files are contained in the ISO\/DVD version of the operating system you should have imported to the Deployment Share previously
\n9. Destination folder name
\na. It will be helpful later if use a unique name such as Gold-2015-01-08 for the folder name<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
