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

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: 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

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: DistributionBoot folder Windows DS can now be used to initiate a Lite touch deployment by importing the Lite. Touch. PE_x 86. wim

Lite Touch Deployment

BDD 2007 – Zero Touch Deployment Anders Björling Microsoft

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

BDD Zero Touch Process Sequence of admin events SMS Site Server Target computers Task Sequencer Reference Computer Task Sequencer BDD console Configure OSD Define corporate image Install OSD Create Capture CD Create OSD Pkg Configure OSD package BDD Workbench Lite Touch build Boot and capture using OSD Capture CD Target and deploy Create collections Send advertisements Deploy new image using OSD SMS client processes advertisement Receive PE and OS WIMs Backup User state And more… Install OS and applications Restore user state

Zero Touch Installation How does it work? Rules engine gathers information ZTIGather. wsf Data repositories store configuration Custom. Settings. ini Database(s) Gathers information from the local machine IP, MAC, GW, Name Asset tag, serial Gathers settings based on rules and DB lookups Dynamic apps Settings Groups

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
