Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Automate Windows 11 deployment with MDT and WDS, covering deployment shares, task sequences, boot images, and network installations.

Description

Imaging machines one at a time does not scale, and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit paired with Windows Deployment Services is how IT teams handle fleets efficiently. This course covers setup, configuration, and execution, from importing Windows 11 source files through building task sequences and deploying across a network.

This Course Offers

  • Setting up and configuring MDT and WDS on a Windows server, with a clear explanation of each tool's role
  • Deployment share creation and management, including importing Windows 11 operating system files, drivers, and applications
  • Task sequence design covering automated installation, system settings, network configuration, and domain joins
  • Boot image generation and management for network based installations through WDS
  • Deployment execution across multiple client machines, with verification steps to confirm configurations and applications applied correctly

Why We Love This Course

  1. No prior deployment experience is needed, so it works if MDT and WDS are both new to you.
  2. The efficiency case is concrete. Automation removes repetitive setup work and ensures every machine is configured identically.
  3. Task sequences get proper attention, and they are where the real automation logic lives.
  4. Access to a virtual machine is enough to practice, so you do not need dedicated hardware.

Deployment work is often invisible until something goes wrong across a hundred machines, which is why the people who can automate it properly are valued. Do you want to keep setting up machines by hand, or build an image that does it for you? Enrollment is open, and no prior deployment experience is required.

Course Eligibility

  • This course is perfect for IT professionals looking to streamline deployment processes.
  • It suits system administrators and network administrators managing fleets of machines.
  • Technical support specialists wanting to troubleshoot deployment issues, and IT students building foundational skills, will find the practical labs directly useful.

Course Requirements

  • No prior deployment experience is needed.
  • A basic understanding of Windows operating systems, particularly Windows 10 and 11, will be beneficial.
  • Access to a Windows Server environment, whether physical, virtual, or cloud based, is needed to practice the hands on labs.
