Imaging, Deployment and MDT 2010 pt.2

by Shie on May 12, 2011

First, let’s think about what you are going to need to get going:

  1. Technician Computer (mine is a Dell Optiplex 740 running Windows 7 Enterprise)
  2. Student Computer
  3. Windows 7 (or your OS) installation media
  4. Downloads…
    1. MDT 2010: x86 or x64
    2. MS AIK, which you can also install via MDT 2010 Workbench > Information Center > Components, it will be under “Available for Download” so click on it then “Download”

Begin by installing the above programs on your Technician Computer. When you are done, launch the Deployment Workbench.

Now your technician computer is good to go. There are really two ways to go forward from here, one is to create a bootable device/disk using MDT. What I’ve been doing though is move over to the student machine (laptop) and install then customize the image. This can take a while. I know that this probably isn’t the best way to do this… but it has been pretty efficient.

When I’m done preparing my image – installing every application it will need – I use this trick to capture my image. This will run sysprep and capture your custom .WIM to your technician computer. This image will be the one you use to deploy your OS. You can do so in any number of ways – over your LAN or using a USB/Flash drive (it will need to be large if you installed large applications) to name two that I’ve tried. In the next post I’ll go over these methods of deployment.

May 11, 2011

One of the first challenges I faced upon accepting this job was learning how to image hundreds of computers in a timely fashion. The problem was that our district hadn’t (and still hasn’t!) switched from XP to Windows 7 for all student machines, yet they requested Windows 7 be installed. As a result, there weren’t [...]
