Chapter 5 – Automated Deployment with MDT
The automated deployment scenario in this chapter builds upon the reference deployment scenario discussed in
Chapter 4 . The automated deployment scenario decreases the level of interaction required by the user/technician and
also includes apps and drivers. The automated deployment produces a computer that is production-ready.
While this chapter shows how to deploy to computers in two specific scenarios (connected and offline), the procedures
outlined in this chapter can be used to address the demands of an entire organization, including the need for different
apps, computer models, and customizations.
The deployment process described in each scenario can be used to deploy any number of computers, but this step-by-
step focuses on three specific computers, as shown in Figure 5.1:

Production Deployment Server
o Windows Server 2012 R2
o Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK)
o Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)
o Windows Deployment Services (WDS)

PC1: Connected Device
o A Surface Pro 3 device
o Connected to the corporate network

PC2: Offline
o A Surface Pro 3 device
o Not connected to the corporate network
