Required Slide SESSION CODE: WSV332 Windows Server 2008 R2 Deployment with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) Mikael Nystrom Senior Executive Consultant TrueSec
How is ”Mike”`? • Lives in Sweden • Works in the US and Europé • IT Pro since -82 • Setup & Deployment MVP for 6 years • ”My Stuff” • Windows Server, Windows Client, Hyper-V, VMM • Customer and Partner training • TechEd’s/MMS
This session is about... • The simple story behind this session is that server deployment is still far, far from automated in a way that can and should be done. There are free toolkits (MDT & MAP) that could help you. This is true for both physical servers, and virtual servers. Have a seat and enjoy the ride...
Things have changed • From flat file to WIM file • From a bunch of text files to unattend.xml • From ”Thats not supported” to ”How do you want to do this?”
Lets look at the native tools WAIK, DISM, WDS DEMO
Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 • Free solution accelerator from Microsoft • End-to-end guidance, best practices and tools • Act as ”glue” to make all the native tools to work • MDT + WDS = LiteTouch • MDT + SCCM = ZeroTouch • Supports Client and Server deployment • Is made for automating all kinds of deployment • Based on real-worls experience • Supports • Windows server 2003 - > Windows Server 2008 R2
Lite Touch? • Lite = Something needs to initiate the process • That does NOT mean a human being • Can be used over the network • Can be used with media • Require almost no infrastructure at all
MDT 2010 DEMO
How do I know if I can “upgrade” existing servers • Use MAP • Migrate is the way of Upgrade • ServerMigrate is the tool to use
MAP 5.0 BETA DEMO
What about Reference Images? • Do we need them? • Thin or thick? • Should we have drivers in the Image?
Deploying an Image • Things we need to think about • Drivers • Applications • Settings • Roles & Features • Distrubution • Local Network • No Network • Branch Offices • Level of automation • BIOS/Firmware upgrades • RAID config • NIC Config
Deploying the Server DEMO
Not that many books about MDT 2010... • Deployment Fundamentals – Vol 1 • Deploying Windows 7 using LTI • Next volume will be about servers… • Authors • Johan Arwidmark • Mikael Nystrom
