The UDI deployment process is based on ZTI deployments in MDT and requires Configuration Manager 2012 or Configuration Manager 2007 R3. The UDI process runs as any other MDT task sequence, except that the UDI-specific task sequences run the UDI Wizard at the appropriate steps in the task sequence.

Table 143 lists the UDI deployment process components and a brief description of how they work together in a UDI deployment.

Description

UDI Wizard

The UDI Wizard is the UI that allows customization of the deployment process based on configuration settings made in the wizard. The configuration settings are used to modify the task sequence variables and unattended installation files used in the operating system and application deployment process.

The UDI Wizard is initiated by the appropriate task sequence steps in task sequences created using UDI task sequence templates.

The wizard pages that are displayed in the UDI Wizard and the controls that are active for each wizard page is controlled by the UDI Wizard configuration file.

UDI Wizard Designer

The UDI Wizard Designer is used to customize the UDI Wizard configuration file. You can use the UDI Wizard Designer to:

·     Determine the wizard pages that are displayed in the UDI Wizard

·     Determine the sequence of the wizard pages that are displayed in the UDI Wizard

·     Configure default values for controls on the wizard pages

·     Enable or disable individual controls on the wizard pages

UDI Wizard configuration file

The UDI Wizard configuration file is read by the UDI Wizard to determine the wizard pages that are displayed, the sequence of the wizard pages, any default values for controls, and whether controls are enabled or disabled for user interaction.

The UDI Wizard configuration file is customized using the UDI Wizard Designer.

The default UDI Wizard configuration file is name UDIWizard_Config.xml and is stored in the Scripts folder in the MDT files package.

UDI task sequences

The UDI task sequences are created using UDI-related MDT task sequence templates. The UDI task sequence templates include the task sequence step to run the UDI Wizard at the appropriate time in the UDI deployment process.

For more information about UDI task sequence templates, see Identify the UDI Task Sequence Templates in MDT.
