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.
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
