Introduction
The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample configuration files
that you need to deploy and configure your Dell system. You can use DTK to build script-based and RPM-based
installation for deploying large number of systems on a preoperating system environment in a reliable way, without
changing their current deployment processes.
In addition to the command line utilities used to configure various system features, DTK also provides sample scripts and
configuration files to perform common deployment tasks and documentation. These files and scripts describe the use of
the DTK in Microsoft Windows Pre-installation Environment (Windows PE) and Linux environments.
