Configure permissions for the deployment share To monitor the task sequence as it happens, right-click the MDT Build Lab deployment share, select Properties, select the Monitoring tab, and select Enable monitoring for this deployment share. The Deployment Workbench with the MDT Build Lab deployment share. Verify that you can access the \\MDT01\MDTBuildLab$ share. Review the Summary page, select Next, wait for the deployment share to be created, then select Finish.

Create the MDT build lab deployment share Because reference images will be deployed only to virtual machines during the creation process and have specific settings (rules), you should always create a separate deployment share specifically for this process. This section will show you how to create and configure the MDT Build Lab deployment share to create a Windows 10 reference image. However, to reduce the time needed for deployment, you might want to create a reference image that contains a few base applications and all of the latest updates.

With Windows 10, there's no hard requirement to create reference images. Set up the MDT build lab deployment share

You get the best possible image, and if you've a problem, it's not likely to be hardware related. To reduce development time and can use snapshots to test different configurations quickly.The reasons for creating the reference image on a virtual platform are: However, the reference image is typically created on a virtual platform, before being automatically run through the System Preparation (Sysprep) tool process and captured to a Windows Imaging (WIM) file. The reference image described in this guide is designed primarily for deployment to physical devices. HV01 is a Hyper-V server that will be used to build the reference image. For more information about the server, client, and network infrastructure used in this guide, see Prepare for deployment with MDT.įor the purposes of this article, we'll use three computers: DC01, MDT01, and HV01.ĭC01 is a domain controller for the domain.
