Reduces deployment time and helps standardize images Brings together proven practices, in addition to the following Microsoft technologies: Support for Windows XP® SP3 and Later Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) Windows User State Migration Tool (USMT) Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) Windows Deployment Services (WDS)

Virtualization Increasingly Common in the Enterprise Different Image Formats Have Meant More Maintenance WIM for physical machines VHD for virtual machines Native VHD Boot Enables Unification and Lower Costs

DISM replaces and enhances several older tools to service and manage images Windows Deployment Services enables you to remotely deploy Windows MDT is another way to create low-touch remote operating system deployments

Fan-Out (1 to Many) Send the script Select properties – Allows you to specify which properties to bring back Throttling – limits number of concurrent operations Async support – Runs the command in background on client Fan-In (Many to 1) Hosting model Share static data between sessions (eg: cmdlet metadata from snap-in) Send progress information to client (eg: Connecting, Connected)

Boot from.vhd Enables pre-configuration of virtual and physical computers Reduces the number of managed images Simplifies test deployments Boot VHD

User State Migration Tool Hard-link Migration Enables local file migration without copying or moving files Processes migration jobs in third of the time or less Offline User State Capture Capture during Windows PE phase to improve speed Volume Shadow Copy Capture files even while they are in use Improved File Discovery Reduces XML customization need

Add support for the latest operating systems Use the latest tools Enable new scenarios Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Support Improve administrative processes Support more than one user Enhance automation and extensibility Deployment Workbench Architecture Enhancements Improve diagnostics and logging Better error reporting and recovery Make scripts as easy to follow as possible Script Architecture Enhancements Continue to simplify documentation Cross-linked content Cover both the “why’s” and the “how’s” Documentation Improvements
