Preparing Windows Deployment Services for LTI Deployments

You can use Windows Deployment Services in LTI deployments in the following ways:

· Start Windows PE on the target computers. The beginning of the New Computer deployment scenario and the second half of the Replace Computer deployment scenario both start the target computer in Windows PE. For these scenarios, you can automate starting Windows PE using Windows Deployment Services.

· Install images created in the Deployment Workbench on the target computers. You can create custom WIM images in the Deployment Workbench that you can deploy directly to target computers using Windows Deployment Services.

For more information about setting up and configuring Windows Deployment Services, see:

· Windows Deployment Services

· The Windows Deployment Services Help file, included in Windows Deployment Services

· The white paper, Windows Deployment Services Step-by-Step Guide

Prepare Windows Deployment Services for LTI deployments by:

· Adding boot images created in the Deployment Workbench for LTI deployments to Windows Deployment Services as described in Add LTI Boot Images to Windows Deployment Services

· Pre-staging target computers in Windows Deployment Services for LTI deployments as described in Pre-stage Target Computers for Windows Deployment Services for LTI Deployments

· Enabling Windows Deployment Services multicast deployment of images in Windows Deployment Services for LTI deployments as described in Enable Windows Deployment Services Multicast Deployment for LTI Deployments
