    1. Windows Deployment Service (WDS) vs Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2012 (MDT) Choose The Right Tool Rhonda Layfield Sr. Deployment Architect Deployment Done Right

    2. Rhonda Layfield I live in Washington DC in the States… Been in the IT industry for 30 years US Navy for 7 years Setup and Deployment MVP Desktop Deployment Product Specialist (DDPS) I am self employed I provide training and consulting services

    3. The Free Giveaway… Almost 16 hours WAIK MDT WDS SCCM 2 sets to giveaway Valued at $400.00 each

    4. The Goal For This Session To help you decide which tool is right for you All tools deploy both Server and Desktop Operating Systems (OSs) All tools are either FREE or In-The-Box

    6. Windows Image Formats There are two Windows Image .Wim Virtual hard disk .Vhd

    7. .Wim Compared to .Vhd .Wim Contain a single volume (c: d: e:) Multiple images may be stored in a single .wim file Single instancing No redundant file storage Service image offline .Vhd Contain an entire hard drive (multiple volumes) Service image offline

    8. Three Types of Images: Thick, Thin, Hybrid Thick images contain an OS and all applications More difficult to make changes to later Thin images usually contain only the OS Applications are deployed after the OS Group Policy deployment MDT 2010 U1 Manually Hybrid images contain OS and corporate approved applications Like line of business (LOB) applications created in-house

    9. Microsoft DEPLOYMENT TOOLKIT 2012 (MDT 2012)

    10. Setting Up MDT 2012: as easy as 1-2-3

    11. Create a Deployment Share Open Deployment Share

    13. Add Components Applications Office 2010 Adobe Reader Drivers 3rd party Packages OS patches Language packs

    14. Over Time You Will Have Multiple Images To Deploy: Multiple OSs Windows 7 SP1 base DVD Windows 7 custom Hybrid .wim image Windows Server 2008 R2 Drivers for different models of machines Applications for different groups of users So you will need a way to group components together for a specific deployment This is called a Task Sequence

    15. Update The Deployment Share Updating the deployment share creates a custom MDT Windows Pre Installation Environment (WinPE) This WinPE is very intelligent Pre-configured to know who the MDT server is and the name of the Deployment Share

    16. Add an OS, Application, Drivers Create a Task Sequence Update the Deployment Share

    17. MDT Network Deployment

    18. Quick Note on Using USB Hard Drives Different BIOS number the USB hard drives differently When numbered 0 – they can show up as fixed drives and you don’t want that ConfigMgr OSD does not support booting from USB hard drives

    19. Boot Client With WinPE Walk Through The Deployment Wizard

    20. OR

    21. Automate the Clients Experience When you run the Deployment Wizard Choose which screens are displayed during the deployment Suppress the ones you don’t want anyone to see or change like: Product Key Administrator’s password Customize the words displayed on the pages

    22. Linked Deployment Shares (LDS)

    23. Branch Offices

    24. Linked Deployment Shares (LDS) LDS allows you to copy a subset (or all if you choose) of components to another machine Even Windows 7 can host a LDS But, if you host the LDS on a server you can integrate WDS with it To create a LDS Begin on the target computer

    25. MDT Database Feature

    26. MDT Database Feature

    27. MDT Database Automate what gets installed on a computer Original image and re-imaging How it works: When a client begins the Deployment Wizard a script runs: ZTIGather.wsf Gathers all kinds of information from the client like: Universally Unique ID (UUID) Serial number Asset tag MACAddress Queries the MDT database for a match Applies the configured settings

    28. New To MDT 2012

    29. MDT 2012 & ConfigManager Aligned more closely with Config Manager 2012 Shipping times: RTM after Config Manager 2012 ships Beta 2 – around October Still need to integrate MDT 2012 into Config Manager 2012 New Terminology Advertise = Deploy Packages can either be optional or mandatory Optional = available Mandatory = required

    30. New Features New Deployment Wizard Deploy .vhd images Supports deploying ThinPC and POSReady ThinPC – basic Win7 Citrix or Terminal Services client POSReady Point of Sales – cash registers Cross platform deployment 32 bit WinPE can deploy 32 or 64 bit OSs

    31. More New Features Diagnosis and Recovery Toolset (DART) Allows remote control of target machines Even in the WinPE phase Deployment Workbench gets a new tab Monitor deployment clients Properties of the deployment share are more streamlined New UDI wizard designer Image factory – create .wim or .vhd Vhd can be deployed via Virtual Machine Manager as templates to create new virtual machines

    32. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Full support of UEFI Intels replacement for PC BIOS Offers support for GUID partition tables (GPT) MBR partition tables restricted disk partition sizes to a maximum of 2.19 TB MBR supports only 4 partitions 4 primary 3 primary and 1 extended (break it up into logicals) GPT allows a maximum disk and partition size of 9.4 ZB 1 zettabyte = 1 billion terabytes Supports upto 128 volumes

    33. 512 Byte – 4K Misalignment Legacy drives support 512-byte physical sectors OSs use 4K logical block sizes virtual memory pages & file systems like NTFS

    34. Sector Overhead Data ID Information identify each sector by number and location a single bit is used to indicate if the sector has been marked defective Synchronization Fields Where do I go to find the next piece of a file Error Correcting Code (ECC) ensure data integrity Gaps or spacers separate sector areas and gives the controller time to process what has been read before moving on to process more data

    35. What’s The Problem? The Fix The result is performance is degraded 10% – 30% The fix is for hardware and OSs to both read at a 4K sector size 4K sector sizes are not supported for XP But they are in WinPE 3.0

    36. Windows Deployment Service (WDS)

    37. Windows Deployment Service WDS replaces Remote Installation Services (RIS) Provides both boot and installation images from the WDS server Supports .WIM and .VHD technology

    38. WDS Requirements

    39. Install WDS Install WDS on a 2008 (& R2) server Server Manager Add Roles Select Windows Deployment Services from the list of roles

    40. Configuring WDS

    41. Store Your Images

    42. WDS Server also a DHCP Server?

    43. WDS Server Responds To…

    44. Known Clients - Prestaged in Active Directory

    45. Prestaging and The GUID

    46. Use a Specific WDS Server

    47. Adding a Boot Image A boot image is a Windows Pre Installation Environment (WinPE) The most current will always be best Windows 7 SP1 Boot.wim can deploy Vista SP1 – Windows 7 – Windows 7 SP1 Windows Server 2003 R2, 2008 and 2008 R2 Use an older WinPE will produce undesired results

    48. Adding an OS Image Both .wim and .vhd are supported Adding a .wim Right–click Install Images Add Install Image Image Groups Adding a .vhd Elevated command prompt WDSUTIL /Add-Image /ImageFile:\\Server\Share \Win7.vhd /Server:WDSServer /ImageType:Install /ImageGroup:Windows7 /Filename:"Windows7.vhd"

    49. Add Drivers & Applications 3rd party drivers only No Applications can be deployed from WDS Only a Thick image containing your applications

    50. From The Client Perform a Network Boot Sometimes called a Pre Execution Boot Process OR PXE Boot

    51. WDS Deployments

    52. Multicast Transmissions WDSServer sends packet 1 to client1 WDSServer sends packet 1 to client2 WDSServer sends packet 1 to client3

    53. Windows Deployment Services Multicast Enhancements Multiple streams of traffic Optimized rates based on client connection Client Auto Removal Slower clients can be dropped to unicast or entirely (only in standard multicast) Boot Image Multicast Windows PE boot images can use multicast (clients with EFI)

    54. Multicast

    55. Multicast

    56. Multicast

    57. Multicast

    58. Multicast

    59. The Best of Both Worlds Integrating MDT & WDS Together

    60. MDT & WDS Together

    62. What We Covered Deployment – The Basics Image formats Types of images (thick, thin, hybrid) Deployment Tools Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 (MDT) Windows Deployment Service (WDS)
