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.
