Will XP SP3 change anything? Update to AIK or MDT?

MDT 2008 has been tested with pre-release versions of XP SP3. Unless something changes between now and the release of XP SP3, there should be no updates required.

Just a quick note Mike - I updated my previous distribution directory. Looked fine during the upgrade. I noticed the Deployment Points were missing. So when I recreate the DP and point to the directory, it does not create the share. I tried this few times, tried different share names just incase, and same results.

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2008 - Why so many tools? Why not just one?

I wonder how many different names this tool kit already had. Just some months ago, Microsoft renamed Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) 2007 into Microsoft Deployment 4. The name of the new version, which was released today, is Microsoft Deployment Too..

When I connected to the DeploymentWorkbench and checked for updates, I got the message I needed to upgrade some required components. Under components it no longer stated AIK 1.0 was installed and 1.1 was required. I downloaded 1.1, uninstalled 1.0, installed 1.1 and the DeploymentWorkbench still said AIK 1.1 needed to be installed. Uninstalling, rebooting, installing 1.0 again, etc.... Nothing works!! Can you help me?

I upgraded to MDT 2008. That solved my problem.
