This is the target computer and runs no current operating system. The system resources of the computer are: - Processor running at 1.4 GHz or faster. This is the reference computer and runs no current operating system. One CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive that will be assigned the drive letter D. One disk partition that has 16 GB or more available disk space that will become the drive C partition. 1 gigabyte (GB) or greater physical memory. The system resources of the computer are: - Processor running at 1.4 gigahertz (GHz) or faster. This computer runs MDT and Windows 8.1 and is installed in a domain named with a network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) name of MDT2013. These computers can be either physical computers or virtual machines (VMs) with the system resources designated. To complete this guide, set up the computers listed in the following table. Also, the Specialized Security – Limited Functionality (SSLF) security profile removes the Create Global Object right and should not be applied to computers being deployed using MDT until the MDT process is complete. This right is normally available to accounts with Administrator-level permissions (unless explicitly removed). The Task Sequencer used in MDT deployments requires that the Create Global Object right be assigned to credentials used to access and run the Deployment Workbench and the deployment process. Networking services, including Domain Name System and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1 NET Framework version 3.5 with Service Pack 1 If you decide to complete this guide on an operating system other than Windows 8.1, MDT requires the following elements: To complete this guide, the following software is required: To deploy operating systems and applications using MDT, the environment must meet the following software and computer configuration prerequisites.

Similarly, MDT refers to MDT 2013 unless otherwise stated.Īfter using this guide to evaluate MDT, review the rest of the MDT guidance to learn more about the technology's advanced features. MDT does not support ARM processor–based versions of Windows. In this document, Windows applies to the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server® 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems unless otherwise noted.
