Use the following settings for the New Deployment Share Wizard: Using the Deployment Workbench, right-click Deployment Shares and select New Deployment Share. Start the MDT deployment workbench, and pin this workbench to the taskbar for easy access. Sign in as contoso\administrator using a password of (credentials from the prepare for deployment article). Create the MDT build lab deployment share Because reference images will be deployed only to virtual machines during the creation process and have specific settings (rules), you should always create a separate deployment share specifically for this process. This section will show you how to create and configure the MDT Build Lab deployment share to create a Windows 10 reference image. However, to reduce the time needed for deployment, you might want to create a reference image that contains a few base applications and all of the latest updates. With Windows 10, there's no hard requirement to create reference images. Set up the MDT build lab deployment share The image is easy to move between lab, test, and production.To ensure that you won't have unwanted applications that could be installed as part of a driver install but not removed by the Sysprep process.You get the best possible image, and if you've a problem, it's not likely to be hardware related. To reduce development time and can use snapshots to test different configurations quickly.The reasons for creating the reference image on a virtual platform are: However, the reference image is typically created on a virtual platform, before being automatically run through the System Preparation (Sysprep) tool process and captured to a Windows Imaging (WIM) file. The reference image described in this guide is designed primarily for deployment to physical devices. HV01 is a Hyper-V server that will be used to build the reference image. For more information about the server, client, and network infrastructure used in this guide, see Prepare for deployment with MDT.įor the purposes of this article, we'll use three computers: DC01, MDT01, and HV01.ĭC01 is a domain controller for the domain.
