MDT 2010 Update 1 – Now Available

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2010 Update 1 has been released to the web.  You can find details about the update here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=161139.  You can download it from here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=159061.

Some of the key changes in MDT 2010 Update 1 are:

• Comprehensive tools and guidance to efficiently manage large-scale deployments of Microsoft Office 2010.
• A new User-Driven Installation (UDI) deployment method that utilizes System Center Configuration Manager. UDI lets end users initiate and customize an OS deployment on their PCs—via an easy-to-use wizard.
• Automatically detects the true supported platforms for drivers, reducing deployment issues.

  JS - Yes, you need to upgrade your deployment shares and rebuild your boot images.  I'm not sure if the other issues are related. Impatient - Thanks for pointing this out.  It appears that only the x86 download is incorrect.  The x64 MSI download appears to be correct.  I have already notified the MDT team. Michael Murgolo

  Apparently, there are still delays in the content replication to the download center servers.  Hopefully this will resolve itself soon.  Please keep trying. The MDT team is aware of the issue: http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/archive/2010/07/08/quick-notes-about-mdt-2010-update-1-released-today.aspx. Michael Murgolo

  It appears that the download center files had not fully propagated during the earlier download attempts.  I just tried again and got the correct downloads.  Try downloading again. Michael Murgolo

  Hi, Do we need to rebuild the boot image reflect these changes once the update has been installed?  I've been having problems with the bootstrap.ini credentials locking out in AD when trying to deploy.  It connects to the deploymentshare fine though and the credentials are correct.  Any ideas?

  Sadly enought the files being offered for download are version 2010 update "nothing". They are 10 MB as oppose to 16 MB in the file description. I hope MS fixes this soon...

  The files offerd on Microsoft's site are not update 1. They are version 5.0, not 5.1. Also the size is wrong, 10 MB as oppose to 16 MB specified on the file description.

  Actually the download link for the x86 is still putting out the old version. (5.0, 10MB)  Just tried it this morning.

  Here in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA, the downloads are now working with the correct install files downloading along with the correct additional documentation files, which are significantly different - to reflect the significant changes to the product with Update 1. I am glad to see that the team invested the effort in providing us with adequate documentation. Can I request some videos on UDI? Specifically on customizing the user migration experience and confirming the success of the USMT operations w.r.t. saving user data??
