Creating a Highly Scalable LTI Deployment Infrastructure

In this scenario, no electronic software distribution is available for the deployment infrastructure to leverage, so you use MDT to build a fully automated LTI deployment infrastructure. The scalable LTI infrastructure uses SQL Server, Windows Deployment Services, and Windows Server 2003 Distributed File System Replication (DFS-R) technologies.

Scale the LTI infrastructure by:

· Ensuring that the appropriate infrastructure exists as described in Ensuring That the Appropriate Infrastructure Exists

· Adding content to MDT as described in Adding Content to MDT

· Preparing Windows Deployment Services as described in Preparing Windows Deployment Services

· Configuring DFS-R as described in Configuring Distributed File System Replication

· Preparing for SQL Server replication as described in Preparing for SQL Server Replication

· Configuring SQL Server replication as described in Configuring SQL Server Replication

This scenario presumes that MDT is configured on a master deployment server and that the configuration of the MDT DB has already been completed as discussed at the beginning of this document.
