[MDT]HOWTO: 在 MDT 环境中为 Deploy to VHD 指定存储位置
[ 2014/07/25 11:28 | by gOxiA ]
HOWTO: 在 MDT 环境中为 Deploy to VHD 指定存储位置
Microsoft Deployment Toolkit（MDT）支持 Native VHD Boot 部署，在早期的文章中曾简要介绍了 MDT Deploy to VHD 的过程，利用 MDT 执行 Native VHD Boot 部署适用于需要大批量应用的环境，并且整个过程支持自动化处理，便于 IT 工作人员掌控并可有效降低人力成本，还提高了效率。
Deploy to VHD 任务序列的默认设置中，会将物理硬盘重新分区格式化，并把 VHD 部署到系统磁盘中，这一设定对于实验或新机器部署倒也没有问题。但是，对于那些已经部署过操作系统在生产环境下运行的设备来说，就需要重新进行设置，并且用户也会希望 VHD 存储在非系统分区上。要实现这一目标我们仅需要修改“Task Sequence”相关设置即可。
对于已运行在生产环境的设备，我们可以彻底禁用“Format and Partition Disk”，它位于“Preinstall”->“New Computer only”下，当禁用分区和格式化任务序列后，即可安全保障硬盘上原有的分区和数据。
而要将 VHD 存储到目标设备的其他分区时，就需要使用到分区属性的高级选项，利用变量值帮助任务序列识别要存储 VHD 的所在分区。如下图所示，在“Format and Partition Disk”下创建一个新分区，该分区卷标为“VNB”，其对应的变量值为“VNBDisk”。它将作为存储 VHD 的分区。
上述操作已经指定了 VHD 存储所在分区，那么任务序列如何来识别呢？！在“Preinstall”下还有个“Create VHD Disk”任务序列，除了可以设定“VHD filename path”以及“VHD size”外，还提供了“Retreive the destination drive for the VHD file from a variable”选项，为其变量名输入之前分区对应的变量值“VNBDisk”后，执行 Deploy to VHD 时便会将 VHD 文件存储到变量值相同的对应分区中。
注意：即使禁用“Format and Partition Disk”但是任务序列仍会根据变量值进行查找，所以无需担忧！
