Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2010 Update 1 is RTM

Microsoft has released a new of 2010 named 1.

It’s a great tool im loving it.

What new:

For System Center Configuration Manager 2007 users:

  • New “User Driven Installation” method. An easy-to-use UDI Wizard allows users to initiate and customize an OS on their PCs that’s tailored to their individual needs.

  • Support for Configuration Manager R3 “Prestaged Media.” For those deploying and Office 2010 along with new PCs, a custom OS 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 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 issues.

Bug Fixes and small improvements

  • LTI Wizard performance improvement. The LTI Wizard now takes less time to initialize and shows up faster.
  • Issue in validating connection to the server fixed. In a few scenarios, 2010 used to report the error message, "A connection to the distribution share could not be made" when a task sequence is run. The Microsoft Support article, “Error message when you use MDT 2010: ‘Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed,’” at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977566 describes this issue in detail. This issue has been fixed in 2010 1.
  • Support for installing roles and features. 2010 1 adds support for installation of operating system roles and features.
  • Looping issue with x64 custom Windows images fixed. In 2010, ZTI–System Center Configuration Manager deployments could get into an infinite loop when deploying an x64 Windows captured by LTI. This issue has been fixed in MDT 2010 1
  • Error handling improvements in MDT task sequence templates. In MDT 2010, task sequences appear to finish successfully even when they really failed. These issues are fixed in MDT 2010 1.
