6. Core Deployment Tools
The Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) replaces the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK)
Windows AIK for Windows 7 SP1

Required for ConfigMgr 2007 and ConfigMgr 2012 RTM, works with MDT 2012 Update 1
Includes Windows PE 3.1, USMT 4.0
Windows ADK for Windows 8
Requires NX/PAE/SSE hardware support
Required for ConfigMgr 2012 SP1, recommended for MDT 2012 Update 1
Includes Windows PE 4.0, USMT 5.0
Avoid installing on the same machine as Windows AIK
Windows ADK for Windows 8.1
Incremental updates to the latest tools
Includes Windows PE 8.1 and USMT “6.3”
Required for MDT 2013 and ConfigMgr 2012 R2

7. Windows AIK vs. ADK * ImageX is “deprecated,” replaced by DISM
Windows PE 3.x
USMT 4.0
Windows System Image Manager
DISM
ImageX
ADK 8.1
Windows PE 5.0
USMT “6.3”
ImageX*

8. ADK: Windows PE 5.0 Minor enhancements:
Automatic scratch space adjustment when not explicitly set (512MB for >=1GB RAM, 32MB otherwise)
Support for up to 4TB of RAM with x64 (still 64GB for x86)
Profiling support removed
New capabilities in Windows PE 4.0:
.NET Framework 4.5, PowerShell feature packs BitLocker pre-provisioning enablement Compatibility issues with Windows 7 SETUP.EXE
Requires appropriate hardware support
Needs NX/PAE/SSE processor support (not present in very old or low-end CPUs, also not supported by Vmware 5.0)

9. ADK: USMT “6.3” Adds support for Windows 8.1
You might need multiple versions:
Adds support for Office 2013 (now available as a hotfix for USMT 5.0)
Same core functionality from USMT 5.0:
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8
Windows 8.1
USMT 3
USMT 4
USMT 4, 5
USMT 5
Not supported
USMT 4, 5, “6.3”
USMT 5, “6.3”
USMT “6.3”

10. ADK: Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)
Minor enhancements for Windows 8.1
Export compressed recovery image (/Export-Image)
Cleanup base components when superceded (/StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase)
New features from Windows 8:
Taking over for ImageX, which is depricated
Support for VHD and WIM files
PowerShell cmdlets for some operations
Windows 8 application provisioning and installation

11. ADK: Windows Performance Toolkit
Captures and analyzes information to help troubleshoot Windows performance issues
Slow boot
GPO processing delays
Application performance issues
Two main tools:
Windows Performance Recorder, to capture information
Replaces XPERF.EXE and XBOOTMGR.EXE
Windows Performance Analyzer, to view and analyze captured data
Replaces XPERFVIEW.EXE

12. ADK: Assessment Tools Purpose: Expected scenario:
Gather metrics to determine if a system is running optimally
Use in lab environments to validate image, drivers, applications, configuration, etc.
Expected scenario:
Create your “master” image
Deploy to each supported computer model
Automatically run assessments and gather results
Analyze results

13. BitLocker Enhancements
Pre-provisioning
Encrypt disk before the operating system is installed
Initiated from Windows PE 4.0 or higher
Protectors get added once the OS is running
Encrypt only used space
Automatic network unlock on trusted wired networks
Standard users can reset PINs

14. UEFI is important New disk layout
GPT instead of MBR
Requires multiple partitions
BCD is not on disk
Requires FAT32 boot partition, media
New version for Windows 8 logo machines
UEFI 2.3.1
Faster POST, faster boot
Will be able to support PXE
No cross-platform deployments
Need to use matching boot image (even for ConfigMgr)
x64 machines won’t support x86 OS via UEFI boot

15. Secure Boot Layer of security on top of UEFI
UEFI verifies the boot loader
Can be configured to only load verified files
Required for Windows 8 hardware certification
Yes, you can still boot other OSes (with x86 and x64)
Turn off in the firmware for OSes that don’t support it
Use newer OS distributions that do

16. Windows Store apps Provisioning Installation
Tech Ready 15
4/25/2017
Windows Store apps
Provisioning
Installation
Register the application for the user
Always per-user
Does not require administrator rights
Side load or from the Windows Store
Register application on the computer
Install automatically for each user
Side load only
Requires administrator rights
Install via an “Enterprise App Store” using:
System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1
Windows Intune
Provision using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2012 or DISM
Include in sysprepped image
Customize Start screen layout
Enterprise side loading requirements
Windows 8 Enterprise, domain joined or with a separate side load product key
Windows 8 Pro or Windows RT, with a separate side load product key

17. Windows To Go The next step for USB 3.0 drives:
Install Windows 8 on a removable USB 3.0 drive (SSD, USB key, hard drive)
Insert the drive into any computer and boot, without re-sysprepping
Even move from UEFI to non-UEFI computers
Requires specific hardware
High-performance drives
“Fixed” instead of “removable”
Certified devices are available now
Provisioning the USB 3.0 drives is a necessary step:
Wizard-based process to format and partition the drive, apply the image
With Windows 8.1, you can safely use the Windows Store

18. Hyper-V Client Hypervisor
Just like the server version, with specific hardware requirements:
64-bit
4GB RAM or more
Hardware-assisted virtualization
Second-level address translation (SLAT) support required on client Oses
Tools can detect SLAT:
Coreinfo from
MDT (via WMI) “SupportsSLAT”
WMI on Windows 8 and Windows PE 4.0, Win32_Processor property SecondLevelAddressTranslationExtensions
New UEFI support for virtual machines in Windows 8.1

19. Refresh and Reset Your PC
Successor to Windows RE
New recovery options:
“Reset your PC” = Remove all personal data, apps, and settings from the PC, and reinstall Windows.
Reinstalling the OS from an image, not preserving anything
“Refresh your PC” = Keep all personal data, Windows 8 apps, and important settings from the PC, and reinstall Windows.
Traditional (non-Metro) apps will need to be reinstalled
Common denominator:
You need an image to restore (locally)
Not intended for enterprise use

20. Slates and tablets New deployment challenges: Expected usage:
No keyboard
Touch screen-only
Often no wired networking
Expected usage:
Attach a USB keyboard
Use an Ethernet dongle or USB storage

21. Disk partitioning DISKPART is “deprecated”
Still supported, but eventually may go away
New PowerShell functionality
Present in Windows PE as well
You can continue to use DISKPART – for now

22. Roles and Features Supported mechanisms:
DISM /Enable-Feature
ServerManager PowerShell module
Older tools were “deprecated” with Windows Server 2008 R2:
ServerManagerCmd.exe
OCSetup.exe
MDT 2012 Update 1 moves to supported mechanisms
As appropriate for the OS
With UI improvements to show appropriate roles based on a selected OS
Adds support for uninstalling too

23. MDT 2013 Support for new versions
Adds support for Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 deployment
Supports System Center 2012 Configuration Manager R2
Requires the new ADK 8.1 release
No longer supports Windows XP and Windows Vista deployment (continue using MDT 2012 Update 1 for those)
For more information and to download:
New Windows 8 functionality from MDT 2012 Update 1:
Provisioning of Windows 8 applications
BitLocker Pre-Provisioning
Installation of roles and features
Improved UEFI support

24. Configuration Manager 2012 R2
