Study Notes
Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)
- The primary use of MDT is to deploy Windows operating systems and applications.
- MDT is a free tool, whereas SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) is a paid tool.
- MDT can be installed on Windows 10.
- MDT is more lightweight and focused on deployment, whereas SCCM offers more features, such as software updates, inventory management, and software distribution.
- SCCM is now called Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM).
Benefits of MDT
- MDT should be used because it provides a flexible and customizable way to deploy Windows operating systems and applications.
MDT vs WDS
- MDT is more advanced and feature-rich compared to WDS (Windows Deployment Services), which is a basic deployment tool.
Deployment Capabilities
- MDT can deploy Windows operating systems, including Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7.
- A requirement for MDT deployment is a Windows ADK (Assessment and Deployment Kit).
Logging and Monitoring
- MDT log files are stored in the MININT\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS folder during the deployment process.
- To enable monitoring in MDT, ZTI (Zero Touch Installation) and UDI (User-Driven Installation) monitoring need to be configured.
- MDT log files are moved to the C:\MININT folder at the completion of the deployment.
Distribution Points
- A distribution point (DP) in SCCM is used to store and distribute software packages and operating system images.
- The role of a DP in SCCM is to provide a localized storage point for clients to access software and operating system images, reducing the load on the central server.
