BDD – Overview Mathias Carlberg Infrastructure Architect Microsoft

What is The Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment? End-to-end guidance, best practices, and tools for efficient planning, building, and deploying Windows and Microsoft Office Based on real-world experience and industry best practices Increase automation Decrease costs Manual Deployment $500 - $1000 per PC Light Touch ~ $350 per PC Zero Touch Less than $100 per PC

BDD Today Microsoft Office

BDD 2007 Focus Areas Simplify and streamline Reduce documentation Separate guidance and methodology from tools |and reference material More automation, wizards, and checklists Shared components for all scenarios Integrate SCCM 2007 task sequencer Use all the Windows Vista deployment tools Some even for Windows XP Update guidance Changes for Windows Vista, 2007 Office system, and the new tools

BDD 2007 Deployment Scenarios Lite Touch Deployment without management infrastructure Manually initiated Uses network share, Windows Deployment Services, CD/DVD, or USB Refresh, upgrade, replace, new computer Complete rewrite from BDD 2. 5 Zero Touch Uses SMS 2003 OS Deployment Feature Pack Scheduled via Systems Management Server (SMS) and completely automated Centrally monitored with Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 Management Pack Refresh, replace, new computer

BDD 2007 New Features Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 3. 0 -based management console Replaces HTA application from BDD 2. 5 Improved driver management For Windows PE, Windows Vista, and Windows XP Manage a driver store Inject drivers based on Pn. P ID (copy only needed drivers) Multi-language support Installation of MUI language packs Configuring locale settings

BDD 2007 New Features Task sequence-based Uses technology from System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007, but does not require SCCM Allows for greater configuration flexibility Computer imaging processes uses Lite Touch deployment process Automate the installation, Sysprep, and capture Backup capability

Select New

Enter the destination directory name to be used

Once the import has been completed the D: DistributionOperating Systems folder will contain the imported Windows Vista DVD

Create a Windows Vista Build

Select New

Specify organisation, product key and computer administrator password information

Specify the Windows Vista version to be used for this build, in this case Windows Vista Ultimate

This information will be added to the BDD Workbench under the Builds container

It is now possible to modify the build configuration information

The Settings tab allows the organisation and product key information for the build to be modified

Adding a Deploy Configuration to BDD

Lite Touch Deployment

BDD 2007 – Zero Touch Deployment Mathias Carlberg Infrastructure Architect Microsoft

BDD Zero Touch Process Shared components with Lite Touch Scripts, configuration files, rules engine, task sequences Knowledge of one gives knowledge of the other Differences: No wizard Some components replaced by SMS 2003 OS Deployment Feature Pack functionality Applications installed via SMS packages

BDD Zero Touch Process Zero touch design Easy migration path from current BDD 2. 5 Zero Touch Installation and SMS 2003 OSD RTM Easy migration path to System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 Enhanced capabilities: SCCM 2007 task sequencer integration (even with SMS 2003) Full computer backup More granular driver injection
