Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 Update 1 - Now Available!

If you’re making the move to Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and/or Office 2010, you need tools and guidance to help you through the process. Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2010, a free Solution Accelerator, is designed to fill that need.

The latest MDT 2010 Update 1 release, now available for download, offers something for everyone:

For System Center Configuration Manager 2007 customers:clip_image002[4]

    • New “User Driven Installation” deployment method. An easy-to-use UDI Wizard allows users to initiate and customize an OS deployment on their PCs that’s tailored to their individual needs.
    • Support for Configuration Manager R3 “Prestaged Media.” For those deploying Windows 7 and Office 2010 along with new PCs, a custom OS image can easily be loaded in the factory and then customized once deployed.

For Lite Touch Installation:

    • Support for Office 2010. Easily configure Office 2010 installation and deployment settings through the Deployment Workbench and integration with the Office Customization Tool.
    • Improved driver importing. All drivers are inspected during the import process to accurately determine what platforms they really support, avoiding common inaccuracies that can cause deployment issues.

For all existing customers:

    • A smooth and simple upgrade process. Installing MDT 2010 Update 1 will preserve your existing MDT configuration, with simple wizards to upgrade existing deployment shares and Configuration Manager installations.
    • Many small enhancements and bug fixes. Made in direct response to feedback received from customers and partners all around the world, MDT 2010 Update 1 is an indispensible upgrade for those currently using MDT (as well as a great starting point for those just starting).
    • Continued support for older products. MDT 2010 Update 1 still supports deployment of Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and Office 2007, for those customers who need to be able to support these products during the deployment of Windows 7 and Office 2010.

    I tried to download the new update. The downloaded file seems to be the "old" MDT 2010 setup file. Am I the only one with this problem?

    I also am getting the older version 5.0 (x86) when attempting to download the Update.  The file size is 10MB as opposed to 16MB, and the installer is labeled to install version 5.0.1641.0 (which I believe is MDT 2010 without the Update 1.

    As of 3:17PM today, when download STILL getting old version of the tool and not new 16MB 5.1.1642.1 version. Anyone know where else we might get the correct version or who we can notify so they will fix this?

    It looks like the UDI component has higher system requirements than MDT. Shouldn't the documentation make that more clear?  I haven't been able to find the minimum system requirements for UDI anywhere except when installing the service.

    Same here, the version downloaded is the old one.

    Is this considered an upgrade [i.e. the original MDT 2010 is required] or can it be used as a new MDT setup as well?

    @Ebraiter - you should be able to install as a new MDT.  Note the read me that tells you to uninstall beta

    Hi, any ideas why the "Applications Installed" tab on the deployment summary of a UDI task sequence is always blank ?

    Moosa, MDT isn't a server, I suppose you have a problem with your WDS server . You can start the capture ? Maybe you can check the rights.
