The central staff would prefer a situation that does not require a large amount of custom scripts as they are concerned about future manageability, although, I have a suspicion that is what this will come to. I have been jamming away on this issue for few days without real success. They have recently upgraded to MDT2010 and have been experimenting with Windows 7 deployment for the past several months and have pretty much ‘got it’ except for this one item of concern. They have been running BDD 2007 / MDT 2008 for the past few years and their environment has been very stable from what they tell me (We did not set it up for them). ![]() They have a SQL 2005 database sitting behind all of this. Their soon to be ‘Production’ Deployment Share is hosted on DFS share on a SAN with Deduplication enabled (to handle the ‘bulk’ created by linked deployment shares across the several subunits utilizing this technology throughout the campus). The environment they have for Lite Touch goes as follows…They have a brand new Lab / Staging server running Server 2008 R2 and MDT 2010 RC 圆4 with Windows 7 WAIK RTM. ![]() ![]() The IT support management of the various subunit’s wants to be able to deploy (via LTI) Windows 7 Enterprise x86 to MacBook’s while protecting the integrity of the Mac OS X operating system that has already been installed (and in some cases, heavily configured). I am in an interesting situation involving the deployment of Windows 7 on Apple hardware utilizing the ‘BootCamp’ feature in OS X (10.5 and 10.6).
