The UDI Wizard is automatically initiated when you run a UDI-based task sequence. Initiate the UDI-based task sequence automatically by using Windows Deployment Services or manually by using a deployed (advertised) task sequence in the Configuration Manager Client. Each MDT deployment scenario (New Computer, Refresh Computer, or Replace Computer) uses a different process. Initiate the deployment from Windows Deployment Services or using task sequence bootable media. The deployment process prompts for any configuration settings not already specified.

The UDI Wizard displays wizard pages based on the MDT deployment scenario you selected and the configuration options you saved in UDI Wizard configuration file (UDIWizard_Config.xml) in the Scripts folder of the MDT files package. The controls that are enabled and their default values are also controlled by the configuration options you saved in the UDI Wizard configuration file. 

To run the UDI Wizard

1.   Initiate the task sequence created using a UDI-based task sequence template and one of the following methods:

·     Task sequence bootable media disk using the Task Sequence Media Wizard as described in Creating Task Sequence Bootable Media in Configuration Manager 2012 or Creating Task Sequence Bootable Media in Configuration Manager 2007 R3.

·     Windows Deployment Services to start the appropriate Windows PE images that will in turn start the UDI deployment process to the target computers as described in Preparing Windows Deployment Services for UDI Deployments.

Windows PE starts, and then the Task Sequence Wizard starts.

2.   Complete the Task Sequence Wizard by selecting the appropriate UDI-based task sequence.

At the appropriate task sequence step, the UDI Wizard starts.

3.   Complete the UDI Wizard based on the wizard pages selected and the sequence of the wizard pages.

Tip   Ensure that you preview the user experience of the wizard pages in the UDI Wizard using the Preview feature in the UDI Wizard Designer prior to performing deployments in your production environment.

After you complete the UDI Wizard, the deployment of the new operating system begins. When the deployment process is complete, the OSD Results page is displayed just prior to the first user logging on to the target computer. For more information about how to configure the OSD Results page, see the section, OSDResults.exe.config File Element Values, in the MDT document Toolkit Reference.
