Description
Duration: 5 days
During this five-day course, students are an introduction to how to assess operating system and application deployment options, determine the most appropriate deployment strategy, and then implement a deployment solution for Windows devices and apps that meet your environment’s needs. Some of the solutions that this course entails include operating system deployment scenarios ranging from high-touch solutions to zero-touch solutions. Also included discusses the technologies that you use to implement these solutions, including the MDT and Configuration Manager.
Typical students of this course are IT professionals who deploy, manage, and maintain PCs, devices, and apps across a medium, large, and enterprise organizations. Usually, students that attend this course have a desktop-support background and have worked as Enterprise Desktop Administrators. Most of the students use or intend to use Configuration Manager to manage and deploy PCs, devices, and enterprise applications. Enterprise Desktop Administrators also may use several tools, including the Windows ADK and the MDT to support assessment, operating system, and application deployment tasks. Also, individuals who are interested in taking the MCSE exam 70-695: Deploying Windows Desktops and Enterprise Applications.
Upon course completion, students will be able to:
Assess the network environment to support the operating system and application deployment tasks.
Identify the most appropriate operating system deployment strategy based upon organizational requirements.
Assess application compatibility issues and identify mitigation solutions to ensure that applications function successfully after operating system deployment.
Describe and configure strategies to migrate user state during operating system deployments.
Determine the most appropriate image management strategy to support the operating system and application deployments.
Describe and use the tools provided in the Windows ADK to prepare for and support automated deployment strategies.
Identify solutions to support PXE-initiated and multicast solutions when performing operating system deployment tasks.
Configure an operating system deployment strategy by using the MDT.
Configure an operating system deployment strategy using Configuration Manager.
Integrate the MDT with Configuration Manager to support operating system deployment procedures.
Implement volume license activation and configuration settings for client computers.
Customize and deploy Microsoft Office 2016 to an enterprise network environment, and describe how to use the Windows ICD.
