ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft last week made available its set of IT deployment tools and practices called Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2008. The solution is designed to help IT personnel install Microsoft operating systems and solutions across servers. It helps IT automate desktop installations within an organization.
MDT is the successor to Business Desktop Deployment 2007. MDT has similar functionality to BDD, but it also enables imaging.
"We changed the name from BDD because you can now build images and deploy desktops and servers with the same toolkit and we thought MDT better reflected that functionality," stated Microsoft's official MDT Team Blog concerning the name shift.
