ZTI deployments using Configuration Manager 2012 require that a properly configured Configuration Manager 2012 infrastructure exist prior to installing MDT and performing deployments. Ensure that your new or existing Configuration Manager 2012 infrastructure is specifically optimized for the Operating System Deployment feature.

Note   Windows PowerShell version 2.0 or later must be installed on any computer on which MDT is installed for management of ZTI deployments.
