Boot Images & Drivers Application Mapping –MDT Application Mapping –UDI Application Mapping Demo City! Q&A Agenda

Process of automatically installing/upgrading applications that were previously installed All methods use a detection method or some sort Application Mapping

Has been part of MDT/BDD for many iterations, most people just didn’t know it was there! (Easter egg?) Using ConfigMgr inventory database in combination with a mapping table Ability to upgrade older versions of applications automatically Application Mapping - MDT

When we run the TS on client machine: –ZTIGather processes customsettings.ini –PackageMapping creates Packages array –OS Installed (and a few other things) –“Install Software” step processes array and installs packages Application Mapping - MDT

Introduced with MDT 2010 Update 1 Ability to create mappings based on Product ID or ConfigMgr execution history No link to existing hardware inventory MDT 2012/UDI added mapping support for the new Application Model Application Mapping - UDI

When we run the TS on client machine: –UDI preflight runs Application Discovery –Discovered items presented in wizard (based on UDI configuration) –OS Installed (and a few other things) –“Install Software” step processes Packages –“Install Application” step processes Applications Application Mapping - UDI

Gotcha’s –Licensed vs Unlicensed applications –Bare metal scenarios MDT VS UDI –Unwanted installations –Don’t use both methods, pick one Application Mapping
