Obtain the Software That the LTI Deployment Process Requires

Collect the software that LTI will deploy. LTI will import or add this software to deployment shares. The software that can be deployed includes:

· Operating system source files or image files for each operating system to be deployed to the reference and target computers

· Operating system packages for the operating systems, such as security updates, feature packs, or language packs

· Device drivers for the reference and target computers that are not included as a part of the operating system

· Applications that are to be installed as a part of the operating system image or during the deployment of the reference image

The Task Sequencer used in MDT deployments requires that the Create Global Object right be assigned to credentials used to access and run the Deployment Workbench and the deployment process. This right is typically available to accounts with Administrator-level permissions (unless explicitly removed). Also, the Specialized Security – Limited Functionality (SSLF) security profile, which is part of the Windows security baselines, removes the Create Global Object right and should not be applied to computers being deployed using MDT.

In addition, LTI requires that the:

· Local Administrator account on the target computer be enabled

· Local Administrator account be granted the Create Global Objects right

· Local Administrator account not have UAC enabled

· Ability to have an account automatically log on to the target computer be enabled and not blocked using Group Policy or a local security policy

· Logon banner for the target computers not be enabled using Group Policy or a local security policy
