Disclaimer!
• I am NOTan expert on deploying Windows 7 (I am a
networking engineer for god sakes!)
• This is an overview of material from multiple Microsoft
and other online resources
• The links are provided for the content – read it!
• We hope to have a follow up in the next two months
that goes into a lot more depth
2
Windows 7 Deployment
• Key Points:
– Windows Automated Installation Kit 2.0 (Windows AIK 2.0)
• Supports file-based disk imaging
• Better scaling multicast support
– Windows Deployment Toolkit (Not covering)
– Deployment Scenarios
– Application Compatibility
3
Deployment Platform Components
4
New for Windows 7
• Windows System Image Manager
– included in the AIK 2.0
• Windows Setup
– Updated, it is now Setup.exe
• Sysprep
– included natively, not a separate download
• Windows Preinstallation Environment
– included in the AIK 2.0
5
• Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)
– command-line tool - consolidates Package Manager, PEImg,
and Intlcfg
New for Windows 7
• ImageX
– command-line tool - can mount multiple images
simultaneously and do interim saves
• Windows Imaging
– file based images allowing editing
• DiskPart
– mount virtual hard disk (.vhd) files offline
• User State Migration Tool (USMT 4.0)
– migrate user settings from old OS to Windows 7 - included in
the AIK
6
Some Terminology
• Answer file
– New xml file that scripts the setup and installation settings for
Windows 7
– Either called: Unattend.xml or Autounattend.xml
• Image-based setup
– Applying an image of an OS to a system
• Deployment share
– A folder that contains the source files for Windows products
that you install
• Master computer
– A master image machine that is set up as needed to capture
and build the master image
7
Some Terminology
• Master Image
– Files and folders that were captured from a master
installation, has OS, apps and anything else you want to add
• Master Installation
– A Windows 7 install on a master computer that is used to build
the master image
• Package
– A group of files that Microsoft provides to modify Windows 7
features
• Windows Image file
– A compressed file containing all the files and folders to make
a Windows installation (file-based) - .wim file type
8
Deployment Options
• Most standard deployments or migrations will make use of AIK
2.0
• The AIK 2.0 has most of the tools you need to do a variety of
deployment options – download it
• If you are doing a large volume rollout then you should use MDT
(Not going to cover that in this presentation)
• The User State Migration Tool is included in the AIK and allows
you to migrate user settings – important if keeping user settings is
a deal breaker in deploying Windows 7

Assessment and
Planning
Ed’s short list of what looks interesting
• Delivery:
– Windows Deployment Services
• Multicast Enhancements
• Dynamic Driver Provisioning
• Migration:
– User State Migration
• Solutions:
– Application Compatibility Toolkit
11
Windows Deployment Services
• Update to Remote Installation Services (RIS)
• Replacement for other multicast push solutions like Ghost
• Uses TFTP to download network boot programs and images
• Uses Multicast Multiple Stream Transfer
• Has Dynamic Driver Provisioning
12
WDS - Multicast Enhancements
• Multiple Stream Transfer
•Fast
– Multiple bands to
broadcast images to clients
– Optimized rates per
client connection
• Client Auto Removal
•Medium
– Slower clients can be
dropped to unicast or
entirely (only in standard
multicast)
• Boot Image Multicast
•Slow
– Windows PE boot
images can use multicast
(clients with EFI)

User State Migration Tool
• Hardlink Migration
– Enables local file migration without
copying or moving files
– Processes migration jobs in third
of the time or less
• Offline User State Capture
– Capture during Windows PE phase
to improve speed
• Volume Shadow Copy
– Capture files even while they are in use
• Improved File Discovery
– Reduces XML customization need

Deployment Scenarios
• Upgrade Computer
– Upgrade from Vista SP1 to Windows 7 – only upgrade option
to Windows 7
• New Computer
– New OS on a new computer - clean
• Refresh Computer
– Similar to New Computer – restores old user state and file
info
• Replace Computer
– User State Migration from old OS to new Windows 7 –
systems can be side by side during the process
24
Application Compatibility
• Five primary tools to deal with Application Compatibility issues
– Program Compatibility Assistant
– Program Compatibility Troubleshooter Wizard
– Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT)
– Windows XP Mode
– Application Virtualization
