MDT 2010 combat: lightweight contact deployment Win2003

MDT 2010 has added a new advanced feature - Media, which allows us to remove the network from the client deployment, that is, without PXE boot and WDS and MDT node server. The script control, task sequence, application software, operating system, driver and other data involved in the deployment can be packaged together to generate ISO files and burned into DVD discs. Or, copy it directly to the USB flash drive and install it through the USB flash drive (Note: This method must be partitioned, formatted, and activated on the Windows Vista or Windows 7 system to implement booting). For stand-alone deployment, it is very convenient and fast! And to achieve minimal contact installation.

gOxiA recently implemented a small project to install 5 Dell servers. Due to environmental and time constraints, WDS+MDT2010 cannot be deployed. In order to save time and reduce human intervention, automatic installation through traditional carriers is the most The best way. In the end, gOxiA chose the Media Advanced feature of MDT 2010, which is very suitable for the implementation of this project! The whole setup steps and operation process are actually very simple. gOxiA believes that the focus is mainly on design planning. First, it is necessary to achieve a small amount of contact as much as possible, in addition to ensuring its relative versatility.

five Dell servers in addition to the different models, some also applied RAID5. Because of the Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition of the operating system Retail, the product key portion of the automation step is considered separately. In addition, because it is necessary to prepare the system for installation before the device arrives, it is not advisable to identify the installation by device serial number or MAC. The final design is to use the common key for the product key, and then enter the respective products separately. The key is manually activated; the computer name is also automatically named, and then changed separately; the system partition has no special requirements, so 40G is allocated.

After completing the plan, you can enter the preparatory work. In order to reduce the capacity occupied by the data, it is recommended to create a separate point, add the Windows Server 2003 R2 installation source file, add the disk controller, graphics card, network card and other drivers. It will not be repeated. It should be noted that the serial number should be entered in the task sequence creation process to enter a common key, so that the serial number can be automatically entered in the subsequent deployment process. When the preparation is complete, you can start creating a stand-alone deployment source using the "Media" function under "Advanced Configuration".



creation process is very simple, you can refer to the following screenshots.
