[News] Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2008 Update 1

[ 2008/08/01 10:20 | by gOxiA ]

Overview

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2008 Update 1 unifies the tools and processes required for desktop and server deployment into a common deployment console and collection of guidance. The fourth generation deployment accelerator adds integration with recently released Microsoft deployment technologies to create a single path for image creation and automated installation. MDT’s tools and end-to-end guidance reduce deployment time, standardize desktop and server images, limit service disruptions, reduce post-deployment help desk costs, and improve security and ongoing configuration management.

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit technologies eliminate interaction time required to install desktop and server operating systems. Interaction at the targeted computer may take a few moments using the Lite Touch Installation (LTI) method or it can be completely automated using Zero Touch Installation (ZTI). Zero Touch Installation utilizes Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 or Systems Management Server 2003 with the Operating System Deployment Feature Pack. Lite Touch Installation can be used when software distribution tools are not in place.
Microsoft Deployment Tookit 2008 Update 1 also uses Configuration Manager 2007’s stand-alone media-initiated operating system deployment feature. This release offers project management guidance for all deployment roles and separates technical documentation for the products and technologies to facilitate automation tasks.

What’s New in MDT 2008 Update 1?
MDT 2008 Update 1 includes new capability for OEM preload scenarios, a revised System Center Operations Manager Management Pack, bug fixes, and revised documentation. This updated version provides guidance in the .chm help file format only. If you need the guidance in .doc file format, you can download it here.

MDT 2008 Update 1 enables deployment of the following Microsoft products:

Windows Vista Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate (32 and 64 bit) RTM and SP1
Office Professional, Professional Plus, Enterprise, and Ultimate 2007
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2003 R2 (32 and 64 bit)

Choosing the Right Version

Select the version that corresponds with your host hardware type. Both versions of Microsoft Deployment Toolkit support deployment of x86 and x64 Windows operating systems.

[WDS] Windows Server 2008 WDS Virtual Labs 注意事项

[ 2008/05/15 18:08 | by gOxiA ]

广大 ITPro 都相继开展了 Windows Server 2008 相关的评估和测试，有些条件好的直接建立了试验室或在生产环境小规模测试，而有些则创建了 Virtual Labs。

我想很多人与我一样都会选择后者，因为不需要在物理设备间进行频繁的切换，而且系统的部署也是相当耗费时间，除非对实际性能指标有很高的要求，否则 Virtual Labs 绝对是首选！毕竟现在配置 4G 内存的 PC 或 NoteBook 比比皆是，本人的 Virtual Labs 就是在 X60 上完成的。

早先一直做 WDS 以及 BDD2007 后后续版本 - MDT 2008 的
