Perform the steps in this article to build a distributed environment for Windows 10 deployment. A distributed environment for deployment is useful when you have a segmented network, for example one that is segmented geographically into two branch locations. If you work in a distributed environment, replicating the deployment shares is an important part of a deployment solution because images of 5 GB or more in size can present bandwidth issues when deployed over the wire. Replicating this content enables clients to do local deployments. Perform the steps in this article to build a distributed environment for Windows 11 deployment.

In this topic, you will learn how to configure the MDT rules engine to reach out to other resources, including external scripts, databases, and web services, for additional information instead of storing settings directly in the rules engine. The rules engine in MDT is powerful: most of the settings used for operating system deployments are retrieved and assigned via the rules engine. In its simplest form, the rules engine is the CustomSettings.ini text file.

This topic will show you how to take your reference image for Windows 11 [that was just created](create-a-windows-11-reference-image.md), and deploy that image to your environment using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).
We will prepare for this by creating an MDT deployment share that is used solely for image deployment. Separating the processes of creating reference images from the processes used to deploy them in production allows greater control of on both processes. We will configure Active Directory permissions, configure the deployment share, create a new task sequence, and add applications, drivers, and rules.

The next step is to add a reference image into the deployment share with the setup files required to successfully deploy Windows 10. When adding a custom image, you still need to copy setup files (an option in the wizard) because Windows 10 stores additional components in the Sources\\SxS folder which is outside the image and may be required when installing components.

This article will walk you through the steps necessary to prepare your network and server infrastructure to deploy Windows 10 with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). It covers the installation of the necessary system prerequisites, the creation of shared folders and service accounts, and the configuration of security permissions in the file system and in Active Directory.
## Infrastructure This article will walk you through the steps necessary to prepare your network and server infrastructure to deploy Windows 11 with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). All procedures in this guide can also be used to deploy Windows 10. For an overview of the features, components, and capabilities of MDT, see [Get started with MDT](get-started-with-the-microsoft-deployment-toolkit.md).
This article covers installation of necessary system prerequisites, creation of shared folders and service accounts, and configuration of security permissions in the file system and in Active Directory. Steps to complete the following procedures are provided:
1. Install the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK)
2. Install and initialize Windows Deployment Services (WDS)
3. Install MDT
4. Create an Active Directory Organizational Unit structure to support deployment
5. Create the MDT service account
6. Create and share the logs folder
After completing these steps, you can create a [Windows 11 reference image](create-a-windows-11-reference-image.md) that will be used to deploy Windows 11. If you are installing Windows 10 instead of Windows 11, use [source media](create-a-windows-11-reference-image.md#add-setup-files) for Windows 10 instead of Windows 11 to create your reference image.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Before deploying Windows 11, verify that the device meets [requirements](/windows/whats-new/windows-11-requirements).

# Perform an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 with MDT
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
The simplest path to upgrade PCs that are currently running Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 is through an in-place upgrade.
>[!TIP]
>In-place upgrade is the preferred method to use when migrating from Windows 10 to a later release of Windows 10, and is also a preferred method for upgrading from Windows 7 or 8.1 if you do not plan to significantly change the device's configuration or applications. MDT includes an in-place upgrade task sequence template that makes the process really simple.
In-place upgrade differs from [computer refresh](refresh-a-windows-7-computer-with-windows-10.md) in that you cannot use a custom image to perform the in-place upgrade. In this article we will add a default Windows 10 image to the production deployment share specifically to perform an in-place upgrade.
Three computers are used in this topic: DC01, MDT01, and PC0002.
- DC01 is a domain controller for the contoso.com domain
- MDT01 is a domain member server
- PC0002 is a domain member computer running Windows 7 SP1, targeted for the Windows 10 upgrade
![computers.](../images/mdt-upgrade.png)
The computers used in this topic.
>[!NOTE]
>For details about the setup for the procedures in this article, please see [Prepare for deployment with MDT](prepare-for-windows-deployment-with-mdt.md).
>If you have already completed all the steps in [Deploy a Windows 10 image using MDT](deploy-a-windows-10-image-using-mdt.md), then you already have a production deployment share and you can skip to [Add Windows 10 Enterprise x64 (full source)](#add-windows-10-enterprise-x64-full-source).
## Create the MDT production deployment share
On **MDT01**:
1. Ensure you are signed on as: contoso\administrator.
2. In the Deployment Workbench console, right-click **Deployment Shares** and select **New Deployment Share**.
3. On the **Path** page, in the **Deployment share path** text box, type **D:\\MDTProduction** and click **Next**.
4. On the **Share** page, in the **Share name** text box, type **MDTProduction$** and click **Next**.
5. On the **Descriptive Name** page, in the **Deployment share description** text box, type **MDT Production** and click **Next**.
6. On the **Options** page, accept the default settings and click **Next** twice, and then click **Finish**.
7. Using File Explorer, verify that you can access the **\\\\MDT01\\MDTProduction$** share.
## Add Windows 10 Enterprise x64 (full source)
>If you have already have a Windows 10 [reference image](create-a-windows-10-reference-image.md) in the **MDT Build Lab** deployment share, you can use the deployment workbench to copy and paste this image from the MDT Build Lab share to the MDT Production share and skip the steps in this section.
On **MDT01**:
1. Sign in as contoso\\administrator and copy the content of a Windows 10 Enterprise x64 DVD/ISO to the **D:\\Downloads\\Windows 10 Enterprise x64** folder on MDT01, or just insert the DVD or mount an ISO on MDT01.
2. Using the Deployment Workbench, expand the **Deployment Shares** node, and then expand **MDT Production**.
3. Right-click the **Operating Systems** node, and create a new folder named **Windows 10**.
4. Expand the **Operating Systems** node, right-click the **Windows 10** folder, and select **Import Operating System**. Use the following settings for the Import Operating System Wizard:
- Full set of source files
- Source directory: (location of your source files)
- Destination directory name: <b>W10EX64RTM</b>
5. After adding the operating system, in the **Operating Systems / Windows 10** folder, double-click it and change the name to: **Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Default Image**.
## Create a task sequence to upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise
On **MDT01**:
1. Using the Deployment Workbench, select **Task Sequences** in the **MDT Production** node, and create a folder named **Windows 10**.
2. Right-click the new **Windows 10** folder and select **New Task Sequence**. Use the following settings for the New Task Sequence Wizard:
- Task sequence ID: W10-X64-UPG
- Task sequence name: Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Upgrade
- Template: Standard Client Upgrade Task Sequence
- Select OS: Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Default Image
- Specify Product Key: Do not specify a product key at this time
- Organization: Contoso
- Admin Password: Do not specify an Administrator password at this time
## Perform the Windows 10 upgrade
To initiate the in-place upgrade, perform the following steps on PC0002 (the device to be upgraded).
On **PC0002**:
1. Start the MDT deployment wizard by running the following command: **\\\\MDT01\\MDTProduction$\\Scripts\\LiteTouch.vbs**
2. Select the **Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Upgrade** task sequence, and then click **Next**.
3. Select one or more applications to install (will appear if you use custom image): Install - Adobe Reader
4. On the **Ready** tab, click **Begin** to start the task sequence.
When the task sequence begins, it automatically initiates the in-place upgrade process by invoking the Windows setup program (Setup.exe) with the necessary command-line parameters to perform an automated upgrade, which preserves all data, settings, apps, and drivers.

<br>
![upgrade2.](../images/mdt-upgrade-proc.png)
<br>
![upgrade3.](../images/mdt-post-upg.png)
After the task sequence completes, the computer will be fully upgraded to Windows 10.

# Perform an in-place upgrade to Windows 11 with MDT
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
The simplest path to upgrade PCs that are currently running an earlier version of Windows client to Windows 11 is through an in-place upgrade.
> [!TIP]
> In-place upgrade is the preferred method to use when migrating to a newer version of the same OS, or upgrading to a new OS. This is especially true when you do not plan to significantly change the device's configuration or applications. MDT includes an in-place upgrade task sequence template that makes the process really simple.
In-place upgrade differs from [computer refresh](refresh-a-windows-10-computer-with-windows-11.md) in that you cannot use a custom image to perform the in-place upgrade. In this article we will add a default Windows 11 image to the production deployment share specifically to perform an in-place upgrade.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Windows 11 will block the upgrade process on devices that do not meet [Windows 11 hardware requirements](/windows/whats-new/windows-11-requirements). Be sure to verify that your device meets these requirements before attempting to upgrade to Windows 11.
Three computers are used in this topic: DC01, MDT01, and PC0002.
- DC01 is a domain controller for the contoso.com domain
- MDT01 is a domain member server
- PC0002 is a domain member computer running Windows 10, targeted for the Windows 11 upgrade

5. After adding the operating system, in the **Operating Systems / Windows 11** folder, double-click it and change the name to: **Windows 11 Enterprise x64 Default Image**.
## Create a task sequence to upgrade to Windows 11 Enterprise
On **MDT01**:
1. Using the Deployment Workbench, select **Task Sequences** in the **MDT Production** node, and create a folder named **Windows 11**.
2. Right-click the new **Windows 11** folder and select **New Task Sequence**. Use the following settings for the New Task Sequence Wizard:
- Task sequence ID: W11-X64-UPG
- Task sequence name: Windows 11 Enterprise x64 Upgrade
- Template: Standard Client Upgrade Task Sequence
- Select OS: Windows 11 Enterprise x64 Default Image
- Specify Product Key: Do not specify a product key at this time
- Organization: Contoso
- Admin Password: Do not specify an Administrator password at this time
### Specify additional command line options
Before running the upgrade task sequence, an additional step is required if you are upgrading to Windows 11. This step is not necessary if you are upgrading to Windows 10.
The **/EULA accept** command line option is required starting with Windows 11. For more information, see [Windows Setup command-line options](/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-setup-command-line-options#eula). To add this command line option:
1. In the Windows 11 Enterprise x64 Upgrade task sequence that you just created, in the Preparation section, click **Add** > **General** > **Set Task Sequence Variable** and provide the following values:
- Name: WindowsUpgradeAdditionalOptions
- Task Sequence Variable: WindowsUpgradeAdditionalOptions
- Value: /EULA accept
2. Make the Set Task Sequence Variable step the first step in the Preparation phase by moving it up above the other steps. See the following example:
![Specify EULA](../images/windowsupgradeadditionaloptions.png)
Using the WindowsUpgradeAdditionalOptions variable to set command line options.
## Perform the Windows 11 upgrade
To initiate the in-place upgrade, perform the following steps on PC0002 (the device to be upgraded).
On **PC0002**:
1. Start the MDT deployment wizard by running the following command: **\\\\MDT01\\MDTProduction$\\Scripts\\LiteTouch.vbs**
2. Select the **Windows 11 Enterprise x64 Upgrade** task sequence, and then click **Next**.
3. Select one or more applications to install (will appear if you use custom image): Install - Adobe Reader
4. On the **Ready** tab, click **Begin** to start the task sequence.
When the task sequence begins, it automatically initiates the in-place upgrade process by invoking the Windows setup program (Setup.exe) with the necessary command-line parameters to perform an automated upgrade, which preserves all data, settings, apps, and drivers.
![upgrade1.](../images/upgrademdt-fig5-winupgrade.png)
<br>
After the task sequence completes, the computer will be fully upgraded to Windows 11.

This topic will show you how to integrate Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator with MDT to replace the existing web services that are used in deployment solutions.
MDT can integrate with System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator, which is a component that ties the Microsoft System Center products together, as well as other products from both Microsoft and third-party vendors. The difference between using Orchestrator and "normal" web services, is that with Orchestrator you have a rich drag-and-drop style interface when building the solution, and little or no coding is required.

In this topic, you will learn how to create a simple web service that generates computer names and then configure MDT to use that service during your Windows 10 deployment. Web services provide a powerful way to assign settings during a deployment. Simply put, web services are web applications that run code on the server side, and MDT has built-in functions to call these web services.

Using a web service in MDT is straightforward, but it does require that you have enabled the Web Server (IIS) role on the server. Developing web services involves a little bit of coding, but for most web services used with MDT, you can use the free Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web.

When an app needs to run with more than standard user rights, UAC can restore additional user groups to the token. This enables the user to have explicit control of apps that are making system level changes to their computer or device. When an app needs to run with more than standard user rights, UAC allows users to run apps with their administrator token (with administrative groups and privileges) instead of their default, standard user access token. Users continue to operate in the standard user security context, while enabling certain apps to run with elevated privileges, if needed.
