3. Windows 10 General Information
Recommend using Windows 10 “Education Version” (EES)
Same as enterprise edition, but with a K12 twist
Current build – 1607
Next Release – Creator Edition –
Build number either 1703 or 1704
Microsoft officially supporting 2 builds
Releasing new builds every 6 months
They are pushing to allow auto-updates

4. Where We Ended Yesterday Prep the Image
Take a SnapShot (ESX) or CheckPoint (HyperV)
Remove the App Store apps from the current user (only)
Launch PowerShell as the current user (Not Run as Admin)
Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage
Sysprep
C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep folder
Run Sysprep
Will shutdown once finished

5. Capture the Image PXE boot using the regular boot wim
At the first stop, press F8 (command prompt)
Go to the D: drive (actually the C: drive)
Delete the MININT folder
Del d:\minint /s /f /q
Rd d:\minint /s /q
Go to the Z: drive
Change to Z:\tools\x86
Run Imagex…
Imagex /capture d:\ z:\captures\W1064Core wim “W1064Coremmddyy”

6. Now Ready to Image Why Do I Use MDT 2016
Free – No cost solution for automating your imaging process (3 day setup including image build)
Works very well to deploy Win 7, Win 8.1 and Win 10
Management Console only needed on one server (Work Bench)
No special hardware or software required to setup district wide
Just a DeploymentShare$ on remote servers – Free script to sync shares (MDTCopy)
Easier to manage and implement than many other solutions
Customizable to district’s desire – centrally manage, but distributed imaging
Non-technical users can image and re-image computers
(If they can read they can image)

7. MDT 2016 Some Key Features Operating System Deployment
Windows 7, 8.x and 10
Driver Injection – Granular based on “model”
Model specific (Driver Group) and Unlimited drivers supported
Application Installations – Post Image
Directly associated to imaging process and / or “Pick List”
UEFI Support (Win 2012 server for PXE support)
Tablet support – No NIC / Dongle issues due to duplicate MACs
Pre-Image automation – computer naming and even password protect imaging process(Scripted options) – UserExit script
Active Directory OU Placement – choose OU prior to imaging from drop-down list or can make a post image process

8. MDT 2016 Requirements Windows Server 2012 R2 (Support UEFI PXE)
Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10 (1607 or current build) - management server only
MDT 2016 (8443) software - management server only
Power Shell
Disk space for drivers and images – assume 150G + free disk space
Windows Deployment Services – WDS – PXE booting
Disk space on remote servers for distributed imaging- Default share called (Deploymentshare$)
Use Education version of Win10 ISOs

Task Sequences

11. Import Drivers Create a folder structure for OS Type
Win7, Win81, Win10
Create Sub-Folders for 32 and 64 Bit
Create Folders for each model
Model name “must” be the actual model
Based on WMI query
MDT provides a %Model% variable
Set DriverGroup – based on model

12. Task Sequence Setup Create Task Sequence Disable – State capture
State restore
BitLocker
Set DriveGroup
Create variable
Win10\64\%model%
Inject Drive set to “Nothing”
Additional Task Sequence Items
Apps
SCCM
Wireless
Etc

13. MDT 2016 CustomSettings.INI Controls Deployment Processes
