LTI,ZTI and UDI

Question

Are ZTI and UDI the only installation methods supported within an SCCM integration, the LTI being exclusively for standalone MDT deployments?

Answer 1

Hi,

Microsoft's System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), here's a brief explanation:

LTI (Light-Touch Installation): LTI is often associated with MDT and is more interactive. It's typically used for standalone deployments and requires more manual intervention during the installation process.

ZTI (Zero-Touch Installation): ZTI is designed for automated, hands-off deployments using SCCM. It minimizes the need for user interaction and is well-suited for larger-scale, enterprise-level deployments.

UDI (User-Driven Installation): UDI is another method used with SCCM that allows end users to have some control over their OS deployment. It combines the automation of ZTI with the user's input, providing a balance between automation and user choice.

So, LTI is not exclusively for standalone MDT deployments, but it's often associated with MDT for more interactive scenarios. SCCM can support both ZTI and UDI for different deployment needs, with ZTI being the more automated option.
