Introduction
The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample
configuration files that you can use to deploy and configure the Dell systems. You can use DTK to build
script-based and RPM-based installation for deploying large number of systems on a pre-operating
system environment in a reliable way, without changing their current deployment processes. Using DTK
you can install operating systems on Dell systems in BIOS or Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)
mode.
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.
