**Presentation from 2013-06-15. Info link: Performing network deployments of Windows 7 andor Windows 8 is often misunderstood and is sometimes a difficult concept to grasp. There are many questions such as “How do I get started?” and “What tools should I use?”. It is the goal of this talk to show just how easy OS deployment can be and how fast you can set up your own OS deployment environment regardless if you are an MSP, enterprise organization, or an SMB computer fix-it-shop. This session will demonstrate how to quickly set up an MDT environment by utilizing a Windows Server 2012 computer with the Windows Deployment Services role, create a WinPE boot image from scratch in MDT, and deploy a bare-metal Windows Client image to a physical PC.
