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.
