Introduction

Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample

configuration files to deploy and configure your Dell system. You can use DTK to build script-based and

RPM-based installation for deploying a large number of systems reliably, without changing their current

deployment processes. You can use DTK in a Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows

PE) or a Linux environment.
