MDT – Windows 10 Deployment – Part 2

And welcome back to part 2 of our deployment of Windows 10 via MDT. Today we will look at what the boot and installer sequence looks like providing we got everything right in part 1.

For the boot option we want to select LiteTouch. LiteTouch is our MDT boot disk where as the Windows 10 Setup is our previous boot file that boots straight to the Windows 10 installation from our previous guides on Windows 10 Deployment.

As you can see here this is the MDT boot sequence. Enter your network credentials and lets continue.

If you are successful with your network credentials you are presented with your task sequences that you have created. For this environment we will be dealing with our Windows 10 enterprise.

Once again choose if you want to backup data and whether you wish to restore.

Now here once again we can see our Currency and TimeZone have been selected already. This is from our previous edit of the bootstrap.ini file. The TimeZone and UserLocale variables pre-populate this area for us.

…country/region as well as installing .Net 3.5 as specified via our add roles and features

And that brings us to the end of our Windows 10 deployment via MDT. If you already have MDT in place in your environment then this is an easy 15-20min exercise to set up.
