Install Components That MDT and LTI Require

The Deployment Workbench is the administration console for LTI. Most of the LTI management tasks are performed in the Deployment Workbench. MDT also includes a Windows PowerShell provider that allows for the automation of LTI management tasks through the Windows PowerShell command shell using MDT cmdlets.

Note MDT supports Windows AIK for Windows 7, Windows AIK Supplement for Windows 7 SP1, Windows PE 3.0, Configuration Manager 2012, and Configuration Manager 2007 R3.

Table 10 lists the top-level nodes in the Deployment Workbench and the types of tasks performed in each node.

Table 10. Deployment Workbench Nodes

Node	Description
Information Center	Provides access to documentation, displays breaking news about MDT, and lists the components required to use the Deployment Workbench.
Deployment Shares	Lists the deployment shares that this instance of the Deployment Workbench manages. Each deployment share includes operating systems, applications, operating system packages, task sequences, and out-of-box drivers populated in the deployment share.

The Deployment Workbench automates the download and installation of components used in LTI.

Note If the MDT computer has Internet connectivity, the Deployment Workbench can automatically download the components.

To download and install Deployment Workbench components

1. Click Start, and then point to All Programs. Point to Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, and then click Deployment Workbench.

2. In the Deployment Workbench console tree, go to Deployment Workbench/Information Center/Components.

3. In the Components pane, in the Available for Download section, click component_name (where component_name is the name of the component you want to download).

Note The offline servicing kernel update, available with the Microsoft Support article, When you use Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP to modify a Windows Vista registry hive, Windows Vista registry key flags are removed, is required when using the Deployment Workbench and the Windows AIK on Windows XP with SP2 or Windows Server 2003 with SP1.

4. In the details pane, click Download.

After downloading the component from the Internet, the component is listed in the Downloaded section in the details pane.

5. In the details pane, in the Download section, click the downloaded component, and then click Install.

Note If there is no Install button, the component cannot be installed or the installation is not necessary.

The installation process for the respective component is initiated. Complete the installation process for the component using the instructions provided for the component.

After the component is installed, the component appears in the Installed section of the details pane. If the component cannot be installed or you did not choose to install it, the component remains in the Downloaded section.

Tip Check the Internet frequently for updated components. On the Deployment Workbench main menu bar, from the Action menu, click Check for Updates. On the Check for Updates page of the Check for Updates Wizard, select Check the Internet, and then click Check.

MDT uses the Windows AIK for Windows 7 or Windows AIK Supplement for Windows 7 SP1, which includes USMT 4.0 and works for all scenarios except when the target operating system is Windows XP, which USMT 4.0 does not support. In these scenarios, you must download and configure USMT version 3.0 to perform user state migration for Windows XP.

To configure USMT 3.0 for use with MDT for Windows XP

1. Install USMT 3.0 on a computer running Windows XP.

2. On the computer on which MDT is installed, create the deployment_share\Tools\platform\USMT3 folder (where deployment_share is the root folder of the deployment share and platform is the processor architecture of USMT to be supported and can be either x86 or x64)

3. Copy the USMT files from the folder where you installed USMT in step 1 to the folder you created in the previous step.
