28 Choosing a Microsoft Windows PE-Based Deployment Method
Using a Third-Party Deployment Solution Framework
You can use the DTK with any existing third-party deployment solution
framework that provides a
Automated Deployment Services (ADS) booting
infrastructure for Windows PE 1.0 or Windows Deployment Services (WDS)
booting infrastructure for Windows PE 2.0 that can be used as the transport
mechanism for the DTK utilities. Because each third-party deployment
framework is unique, however, these solutions fall outside the scope of this
document. If you plan to utilize a third-party deployment solution
framework, keep in mind that the DTK is a Windows PE-based set of tools
and scripts, so the deployment solution framework must also support
embedded Windows PE as a pre-operating system environment.
Deployment Matrix (Windows PE)
Depending on the scope, current business needs, network setup, and process,
you might select any of the suggested methods of deployment. Table 2-1
outlines three typical methods of deployment and the environment most
suitable for each.
