Vista Deployment and the Windows Deployment Toolkit

Posted By: Joey Snow | Mar 12th @ 11:59 PM

When Windows Vista shipped, there was a great set of tools and documentation called the Business Desktop Deployment kit (BDD). I loved this toolset, but it was a bit intimidating with the amount of documentation and guidence.

Things have changed significantly with the addition of a new checklist and wizard driven deployment toolkit now named the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). Hey it deploys servers too! I decided we should take a closer look at the tools so I grabbed my camera and sat down with Michael Niehaus and Jeremy Chapman to talk about what has changed in the Vista deployment tool set and how the deployment tools really make it easy to get started in your Vista deployments.
