• Install MDT 2010• Update the Deployment Share• Add a PXE-boot image• Enable multicast
Download link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5753
The download is an ISO which you can burn to CD or use a program such as DAEMON Tools Lite to launch the ISO in a virtual CD drive
You need to install the Windows Automated Installation Kit before installing MDT 2010
Accept all defaults on the installation wizard
Install MDT 2010, accept all defaults on the installation wizard
Since Microsoft has released MDT 2012 the download link on their website points to MDT 2012. You will need to scour the Web to find MDT 2010.
One argument for installing the previous version is that MDT 2010 has more documentation available on the Internet since it’s been around a lot longer.
