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

In the New Computer deployment scenario, a new installation of a Windows operating system is deployed to a new computer. There is no user migration information to save and restore and no existing file systems to preserve. Use the Standard Client Task Sequence or Standard Server Task Sequence templates to deploy the captured image of the reference computer to the target computer.

To prepare for the New Computer deployment scenario

1. Create a new task sequence that will deploy the captured image of the reference computer to the target computer as described in the following list, ensuring that you specifically follow the configuration settings on the wizard pages listed in Table 13 and select the values on the other wizard pages appropriate to your organization:

· Configuring Task Sequences in the Deployment Workbench

· Configuring LTI Task Sequence Steps in the Deployment Workbench

Tip Create the task sequence for deploying to the target computer based on the Standard Client Task Sequence or Standard Server Task Sequence templates included in MDT.

2. Customize the MDT configuration files to the needs of your organization as described in Configuring MDT Deployments.

3. Optionally, customize the MDT DB to the needs of your organization as described in Performing Deployments Using the MDT DB (if you are using the MDT DB to provide MDT configuration information).

4. Verify the Windows PE options for each deployment share as described in:

· Configure the Deployment Share Properties Windows PE x86 Settings Tab

· Configure the Deployment Share Properties Windows PE x86 Components Tab

· Configure the Deployment Share Properties Windows PE x64 Settings Tab

· Configure the Deployment Share Properties Windows PE x64 Components Tab

5. Update each deployment share, linked deployment share, and media to create the Windows PE images used to start LTI deployment as described in:

· Update a Deployment Share in the Deployment Workbench

· Replicate Linked Deployment Shares in the Deployment Workbench

· Generate Media Images in the Deployment Workbench
