This document discusses automating Windows 7 deployments using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2010. It provides an overview of MDT 2010 and the deployment process, which includes creating a deployment share, adding operating system and application packages, creating a task sequence, capturing a reference computer image, and deploying the image to target computers via a lite touch installation. The presenter demonstrates how to configure MDT 2010 to perform an automated Windows 7 deployment that reduces deployment time and standardizes desktop images and configurations.
