Here are a few of the resources I have used. Hope this helps
1. http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Deploying-Windows-7-Part1.html 2. Deployment Fundamentals-Volume 1 by Johan Arwidmark and Mikael Nystom this will give you a jump start especially if you need to get this up and running quickly 3. http://www.truesec.com/ I believe they have a downloadable video tutorial on LTI that is free. 4. Window 7 Resource Kit also has a lot of good material on MDT. H.

Wow, quite the product! 3. Any good resources you know of? Loving this site and learning lots there: http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/ 4. However, still struggling with yet the simplest tasks: I'm just looking to a. Boot from USB/DVD b. Format Drive 0 c: Push WIM d: Reboot into the WIM'd drive. The WIM I am using is a thick image with all Sysprep, domain join, etc already taking care of. I've been using this WIM for ages and know it works great. The MDT wrappers and wizards are not needed at all. I'll dive into those later. I have a custom task sequence that includes: Format and Partition Disk Install OS That should be all I need, right? Is the default task "Install Application" needed? I know to update the MDT share, update media, and copy the Content folder to the USB key. (It boots fine) Yet it reboots right after the format and the WIM is not pushed onto the drive...? Any quick pointers?
