Image Deployment With MDT 2013 & WDS

This video explains my method of deploying a custom Windows 7 image to a suite of computers. If you've ever wondered how an IT room or suite is set up with identical pcs and software environments I'll show you show.

I have created a master image prior to creating this video with all software required by our students and staff. I then sysprep the system and shut it down, after that the image is captured and uploaded to our windows deployment server.

The deployment server then hold that custom image and allows me to add it to Microsoft Deployment Toolkit and create a task sequence in order to deploy it to multiple machines.

Watch as you gain a better understanding of how this process is done, and for that matter the time and effort it takes to get it right.
Please remember that this is neither the correct or incorrect method to deploy PC images to client computers, there are many different ways.

The video shows deployment on 22 identical systems and does not cover the image creation. If you'd like to see this process please check my channel out and request one if I haven't already covered this.

Finally thanks for watching this,
I truly appreciate the comments and views I receive.

Another awesome video Jake (and colleague) :) .  I had one of those moments where I realised mid video I actually own that exact jumper HaHa :) . It's great to see you guys do your thing and share tips etc especially since I myself as an IT Student want to work in IT.

Actually WDS &MDT allows any AD user to login as my school used mdt for a short period of time and I tried it

Back when i was back in school a few years back our IT technicians decided never to change the default passwords on the systems haha. We could have abused them but we thought we'd get kicked out of school...

I hate school computers because of the whole imaging crap why does it need to be done

[TheHealPoint]

What is the name of the program, which you use to remote control all computers?

[jerichojon]

ill report to your school for goofing around in the lab!

We use RM connect at our school and its coz like everything is controlled ANNND we have a limited 200mb storage space ANNND they wont let us use usb's and they wonder why we always complain about storage space and they're like theres no space on the server... we have like 400 pupils at our school.

What command do you type to activate Windows?

I still have no idea how to begin the deployment process since you just walk up to computers push buttons and do not say exactly what you are doing. If this is for beginners, you should do that and if it isn't, then those people don't need a tutorial anyway. Come on man, this isn't helpful for someone learning this for the first time, .
