steps:1. create boundaries
– don’t forget to add site system servers to the boundaries/boundary groups!
2. enable Distribution Point for PXE (installs the Windows Deployment Services automatically) & restart
3. add install (and boot) images to ConfigMgr (DISTRIBUTE CONTENT!)
4. create (and DEPLOY) the task sequence for installation– don’t forget to configure the Network Access Account also!
(Administration – Site Configuration – Sites – <site> – Configure Site Components – Software Distribution)
5. restart the client computer and install Windows 8.1 from the network

2. add install (and boot) images to ConfigMgr (and distribute content)
3. create and add USMT 5.0 package to ConfigMgr (and distribute content)
install Windows ADK 8.0 on a separate machine and then copy the files, or download from http://1drv.ms/1gzzJ08
4. add State Migration Point to ConfigMgr
5. create (and deploy) two task sequences:
