Frequently Asked Questions
In anticipation of some questions that you may have about this release (or MDT in general):
Q: The Inevitable Current Branch Versioning Soup Question; some variation of, “is this only supported with ADK/Win10/SCCM version X”?
We primarily tested this build of MDT with the configuration listed above. Anything outside of that will have a high probability of still working, but your mileage may vary as we haven’t explicitly tested other combinations.
Q: When is the next planned release of MDT?
We do not currently have a timeframe. We will release any tactical changes as needed which may be required to support new builds of Windows 10 or Configuration Manager.
Q: Is this the last release of MDT?
No, we will continue to iterate and invest in the product.
