Deploying the Basic Scenario

After creating the deployment share in MDT and configuring WDS, you are ready to deploy to the target Surface Pro 3

device. The deployment method is specific to the manual deployment scenario because it requires several prompts to
be addressed on the target computer during the deployment process.

Booting from the Network

To deploy the prepared image to your Surface Pro 3 device, you will need to boot the device from the network. For

Surface Pro 3 devices this can be done with a simple combination of buttons. To boot your Surface Pro 3 from the
network, follow this procedure:

Note: Network booting with a Surface Pro 3 device requires either the Surface Ethernet Adapter or the Surface Pro 3

Docking Station. Other third party external network adapters are not supported for network boot.

1. Connect the Surface Ethernet Adapter to the USB port or insert your Surface Pro 3 into the Surface Pro 3

Docking Station.

2. Power off the Surface Pro 3 device.
3. Press and hold the volume down button.
4. Press and release the power button.
5. Continue to hold the volume down button until the text Checking Media Presence… appears on the screen, as

shown in Figure 3.28, indicating that network boot has begun. Once this text appears, the volume down button
can be released.
