MDT Database

► Automate what gets installed on a computer– Original image and re-imaging

► How it works:– When a client begins the Deployment Wizard a

script runs: ZTIGather.wsf• Gathers all kinds of information from the client like:

– Universally Unique ID (UUID)– Serial number– Asset tag– MACAddress

• Queries the MDT database for a match• Applies the configured settings

Set Up MDT Database

► SQL is not supported on DCs► You’ll need a member server► Install SQL (Express will work)

► Configure the database with the computer identifier

► The computer will check in with the database and perform whatever steps you choose

Create Database

► Performed in Deployment Workbench► New Database– Connection:

• TCP-IP Sockets• Named Pipes

► Computers► Roles► Locations► Make and Model


Get MDT Ready
