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 PnP 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

Configuring BDD for First Use
Importing the Windows Vista DVD
Select New
Enter the destination directory name to be used
Once the import has been completed the
D:\Distribution\Operating 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
Select the New option
On the next dialog enter a descriptive name for the
deployment point, e.g. Windows BDD Deployment
Point
Select Finish to complete the BDD Deployment Wizard.
A new Deploy configuration will be shown under the
Deploy folder
Examine the General tab of the Deploy Properties
dialog
Select the Rules tab
(customsettings.ini)
Right-click on the configuration and selecting Update
A number boot images will have been created under the
D:\Distribution\Boot folder
Windows DS can now be used to initiate a Lite touch
deployment by importing the LiteTouchPE_x86.wim

Zero Touch Installation
What is it?
A component of BDD 2007, updated
from BDD 2.5
Scripts, documentation, procedures
Designed to extend the capabilities of
the SMS 2003 OS Deployment Feature
Pack
Zero Touch Installation
What does it do?
Extends scenarios OSD can support
Computer replacement
OEM (separate white paper)
Download and execute (separate white paper)
Adds capabilities
Complete automation
Dynamic data-driven deployments
Extra features such as group membership migration,
computer backup, etc.
Zero Touch Installation
Changes in BDD 2007
Restructured from one script into several
Shared functions in ZTIUtility.vbs,
included by all other scripts
Single-purpose scripts
Stitched together as part of a task
sequence
Executed by the task sequence engine from
SCCM 2007, inside the OSD package
More easily customized
Zero Touch Installation
Changes in BDD 2007
80+% of the scripts are common between
Zero Touch and Lite Touch
Technically, Lite Touch can be Zero Touch
too…
Databases, rules, etc.
are possible with Lite Touch
Database enhancements
Better support for SQL 2005 named instances
Support for different DB-Libs

Gathers information from the local machine
IP, MAC, GW, Name
Asset tag, serial
Gathers settings based on rules and DB lookups

Zero Touch Installation
How does it work?
Task sequence consumes gathered information to
drive the process
Conditions on task sequence groups and steps based on
properties gathered
Scripts consume gathered values
