Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2010 Update 1

Brief Description

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2010 Update 1 is the newest version of Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, a Solution Accelerator for operating system and application deployment. MDT 2010 Update 1 supports deployment of Windows 7, Office 2010, and Windows Server 2008 R2 in addition to deployment of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP.

Overview

Deploy Windows 7, Office 2010, and Windows Server 2008 R2 with the newly released Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 Update 1. MDT is the recommended process and toolset for automating desktop and server deployment. MDT provides you with the following benefits:

• Unified tools and processes, including a set of guidance, for deploying desktops and servers in a common deployment console.
• Reduced deployment time and standardized desktop and server images, along with improved security and ongoing configuration management.
• Fully automated Zero Touch Installation deployments by utilizing System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 2 and Windows deployment tools. For those without a System Center Configuration Manager 2007 infrastructure, MDT uses Windows deployment tools for Lite Touch Installation deployments.

Some of the key changes in MDT 2010 Update 1 are:

• Comprehensive tools and guidance to efficiently manage large-scale deployments of Microsoft Office 2010.
• A new User-Driven Installation (UDI) deployment method that utilizes System Center Configuration Manager. UDI lets end users initiate and customize an OS deployment on their PCs—via an easy-to-use wizard.
• Automatically detects the true supported platforms for drivers, reducing deployment issues.

4) Task sequence & advertisement

5) Added bare metal machines mac address to the advertise collection

What do you do if Image boot with boot image and after the PE background appears it’d hang for a few minutes then restart.?

Solution:-

You should check Enable command support (For testing only)" on Windows PE tab on your Boot image properties.

1) Turned on a command shell in PE by pressing F8 .(Thanks to introductory Blogcast on OSD by Brian)

2) Go to location x:\windows\temp\smsts. Open SMSts.log.

3) If you found error "failed to download pxe variable file" as the first error followed by "pxegetpxedata failed"  also if you run ipconfig on command prompt, sometimes its shows 169 range ip and sometimes its shows correct one.

4) Enable  PortFast on your CISCO switches. By Enabling PortFast on you will able to deploy OS through PXE.(It works for me)

What do you do if bare metal image is giving TFTP time out while booting ?

Solution:-

MS doc says that if you have install WDS and DHCP on the same server then follow the process which is given in the link  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680753.aspx

I have tried the process given in the link (WDSUTIL /Set-Server /UseDHCPPorts:No /DHCPOption60:Yes) but this didn’t work for me its giving me error, "WDS is not configured".

I have configured WDS on the following tab’s and TFTP time out error gone at the booting . Pl.Check following pic.
