[MDT] 升级到 MDT2008 Updata1
[ 2008/08/02 12:18 | by gOxiA ]
Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2008 Update 1 已经正式发布，主要是修正了一些错误并增强了对OEM的支持，具体的信息可以参考：Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2008 Update 1。升级到 MDT2008 Update 1 的过程很简单，在安装之后我们打开"Deployment Workbench"会发现之前的配置信息全部丢失了，不要惊慌！我们只需要进入"Distribution Share"重新创建即可，过程中我们选择由现有的 Distribution 进行升级！之后便可以看到原来配置过的信息以及之前的数据库联接。但是我们还是需要重新生成部署点，在重新添加"Deployment Points"前，请先进入资源管理器停止"Distribution"目录的共享。生成部署点后根据需要生成 WIM 或 ISO 文件，重新添加到 WDS 服务器，升级过程便完成了，之后可以 PXE 引导一台计算机进行测试！

[ 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.

[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
