How to start a deployment directly from a Windows 7 client?
Hello and greetings from Portugal,
Now...I know this may be a stupid question but after years of MDT deployment never tried this...
Is it possible to launch an MDT deployment directly from a ...
To start a deployment from the existing Windows 7 client, map a drive to the deployment share and then run LiteTouch.vbs from that share, e.g.:
net use Z: \\server\DeploymentShare$
cscript.exe z:\Scripts\LiteTouch.vbs
All Lite Touch task sequences are designed to be run in this way (to do a refresh/wipe-load deployment), as well as a bare metal deployment (initiated from media, PXE, etc.).
That should be covered extensively in the MDT documentation. If you can't find that in the docs, let me know.
Thanks Michael,
I was not aware that it is so easy :-)
- Hi Michael,
Huge fan for years! :)
Errr...really? As easy as that?
Strange I didn't find any so direct about that but I think my mind is so so trained to use pxe boot that didn't tried it.
I'll try this tomorrow at work and give some feedback.
Best Regards,
Diogo
