Introduction

The Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities, sample scripts, and sample conguration les that you can use

to deploy and congure 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 Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) mode.

In addition to the command line utilities used to congure various system features, DTK also provides sample scripts and conguration les

to perform common deployment tasks and documentation. These les and scripts describe the use of the DTK in Microsoft Windows Pre-

installation Environment (Windows PE) and Linux environments.
