Joining Modena RC1 Tools Program
We have had a lot of discussion around the topic of our Beta program of Modena. We are currently in a Beta released state on Microsoft’s Connect site though we are an invitation-only program. This means that those of you who frequent Connect will not locate our beta as it is not listed in the directory.
Does this mean you can’t participate? The answer is absolutely, positively… Well, gotcha going a bit so just so you know this is wide-open. There are some legal things you need to do when you request your participation.
How to participate in Modena
Modena is a “collection” of tools aimed at simplifying your deployment tasks when using Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 2. With Service Pack 2 (currently in Beta), you can utilize the OSD framework to deploy Windows 7 to your enterprise. Modena, with OSD Tools and Driver Sync, includes the blueprint we use at Microsoft to deploy Windows 7. We provide our end-user experience, exported task sequence, pre-flight scripts, and our driver sync tool to simplify management of drivers in your enterprise.
To participate in Modena RC1, the following steps should get you going:
- Join Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 2 Open Beta
- Using Connect, locate MPSD (under Server) and click Apply Now
Thanks,
-Chris
