Preparing for LTI Deployment to Target Computers

With the images of the reference computer captured, deploy the images to the target computers. In preparation, create one or more task sequences for deploying the captured images, ensure that the necessary deployment resources exist, and customize the deployment process.

To prepare for deployment to the target computers

1. Prepare network shares for storing migration data and MDT deployment logs as described in Preparing the MDT Migration Resources.

2. Create additional deployment shares to help in larger deployments as described in Create a New Deployment Share in the Deployment Workbench.

3. Optionally, prepare Windows Deployment Services to start the appropriate Windows PE images that will in turn start LTI deployment to the target computers as described in Preparing Windows Deployment Services for LTI Deployments (if you are using Windows Deployment Services to start the process).

4. Prepare the MDT task sequences, the MDT configuration files, and the MDT DB for each deployment scenario as described in:

· Prepare for the New Computer Deployment Scenario to Target Computers Using LTI

· Prepare for a Refresh Computer Deployment Scenario to Target Computers Using LTI

· Prepare for a Replace Computer Deployment Scenario to Target Computers Using LTI

Depending on the target computers in your organization, any combination of the deployments scenarios might be necessary. For more information about the MDT deployment scenarios, see Identifying Deployment Scenarios.
