### Why DFS-R is a better option
-DFS-R is not only very fast and reliable, but it also offers central monitoring, bandwidth control, and a great delta replication engine. DFS-R will work equally well whether you have 2 sites or 90. When using DFS-R for MDT, we recommend running your deployment servers on Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher. From that version on, you can configure the replication target(s) as read-only, which is exactly what you want for MDT. This way, you can have your master deployment share centralized and replicate out changes as they happen. DFS-R will quickly pick up changes at the central deployment share in MDT01 and replicate the delta changes to MDT02.

-- Windows 10
+- Windows 10
Creating a reference image is important because that image serves as the foundation for the devices in your organization. In this topic, you will learn how to create a Windows 10 reference image using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). You will create a deployment share, configure rules and settings, and import all the applications and operating system files required to build a Windows 10 reference image. After completing the steps outlined in this topic, you will have a Windows 10 reference image that can be used in your deployment solution.
-For the purposes of this topic, we will use four machines: DC01, MDT01, HV01, and PC0001. DC01 is a domain controller, PC0001 is a Windows 10 Enterprise x64 client, and MDT01 is a Windows Server 2012 R2 standard server. HV01 is a Hyper-V host server, but HV01 could be replaced by PC0001 as long as PC0001 has enough memory and is capable of running Hyper-V. MDT01, HV01, and PC0001 are members of the domain contoso.com for the fictitious Contoso Corporation.

## The reference image
-The reference image described in this documentation is designed primarily for deployment to physical machines. However, the reference image is created on a virtual platform, before being automatically run through the System Preparation (Sysprep) tool process and captured to a Windows Imaging (WIM) file. The reasons for creating the reference image on a virtual platform are the following:
-- You reduce development time and can use snapshots to test different configurations quickly.
-- You rule out hardware issues. You simply get the best possible image, and if you have a problem, it's not likely to be hardware related.
-- It ensures that you won't have unwanted applications that could be installed as part of a driver install but not removed by the Sysprep process.
-- It's easy to move between lab, test, and production.

-With Windows 10, there is no hard requirement to create reference images; however, to reduce the time needed for deployment, you may want to create a reference image that contains a few base applications as well as all of the latest updates. This section will show you how to create and configure the MDT Build Lab deployment share to create a Windows 10 reference image. Because reference images will be deployed only to virtual machines during the creation process and have specific settings (rules), you should always create a separate deployment share specifically for this process.

-Before you create an MDT task sequence, you need to add all of the applications and other sample scripts to the MDT Build Lab share.
+>Depending on the DVD you used, there might be multiple editions available. For the purposes of this guide, we are using the Windows 10 Enterprise image, but other images will also work.
-The steps in this section use a strict naming standard for your MDT applications. You add the "Install - " prefix for typical application installations that run a setup installer of some kind, and you use the "Configure - " prefix when an application configures a setting in the operating system. You also add an " - x86", " - x64", or "- x86-x64" suffix to indicate the application's architecture (some applications have installers for both architectures). Using a script naming standard is always recommended when using MDT as it helps maintain order and consistency.
-By storing configuration items as MDT applications, it is easy to move these objects between various solutions, or between test and production environments. In this topic's step-by-step sections, you will add the following applications:
+## Add applications

-### Create the install: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 x86
+### Create configuration file: Microsoft Office 365 Professional Plus x64
-You can customize Office 2013. In the volume license versions of Office 2013, there is an Office Customization Tool you can use to customize the Office installation. In these steps we assume you have copied the Office 2013 installation files to the E:\\Downloads\\Office2013 folder.
+1. After downloading the most current version of the Office Deployment tool from the Microsoft Download Center using the link provided above, run the self-extracting executable file and extract the files to **D:\\Downloads\\Office365**. The Office Deployment Tool (setup.exe) and several sample configuration.xml files will be extracted.
+2. Using a text editor (such as Notepad), create an XML file in the D:\\Downloads\\Office365 directory with the installation settings for Office 365 ProPlus that are appropriate for your organization. The file uses an XML format, so the file you create must have an extension of .xml but the file can have any filename.
-### Add the Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 x86 installation files
+ For example, you can use the following configuration.xml file, which provides these configuration settings:
+ - Install the 64-bit version of Office 365 ProPlus in English directly from the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN) on the internet. Note: 64-bit is now the default and recommended edition.
+ - Use the Semi-Annual Channel and get updates directly from the Office CDN on the internet.
+ - Perform a silent installation. You won’t see anything that shows the progress of the installation and you won’t see any error messages.
-After adding the Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 x86 application, you then automate its setup by running the Office Customization Tool. In fact, MDT detects that you added the Office Professional Plus 2013 x86 application and creates a shortcut for doing this.
-You also can customize the Office installation using a Config.xml file. But we recommend that you use the Office Customization Tool as described in the following steps, as it provides a much richer way of controlling Office 2013 settings.
-1. Using the Deployment Workbench in the MDT Build Lab deployment share, expand the **Applications / Microsoft** node, and double-click **Install - Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus x86**.
-2. In the **Office Products** tab, click **Office Customization Tool**, and click **OK** in the **Information** dialog box.

These steps assume you have The account is used for Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) to connect to MDT01. In order for MDT to join machines into the contoso.com domain you need to create an account and configure permissions in Active Directory.
+
+On **DC01**:
+
+1. Download the [Set-OUPermissions.ps1 script](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619362) and copy it to the **C:\\Setup\\Scripts** directory on DC01. This script configures permissions to allow the MDT_JD account to manage computer accounts in the contoso > Computers organizational unit.

-When you are ready to deploy Windows 10 in a production environment, you will first create a new MDT deployment share. You should not use the same deployment share that you used to create the reference image for a production deployment. For guidance on creating a custom Windows 10 image, see
-[Create a Windows 10 reference image](create-a-windows-10-reference-image.md).
+## Step 2: Set up the MDT production deployment share
+
+Next, create a new MDT deployment share. You should not use the same deployment share that you used to create the reference image for a production deployment. Perform this procedure on the MDT01 server.
### Create the MDT production deployment share
+On **MDT01**:
+
The steps for creating the deployment share for production are the same as when you created the deployment share for creating the custom reference image:
-1. On MDT01, log on as Administrator in the CONTOSO domain using a password of P@ssw0rd.
-2. Using the Deployment Workbench, right-click **Deployment Shares** and select **New Deployment Share**.
-3. On the **Path** page, in the **Deployment share path** text box, type **E:\\MDTProduction** and click **Next**.
+
+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.
-## Step 3: Add a custom image
+### Configure permissions for the production deployment share
+
+To read files in the deployment share, you need to assign NTSF and SMB permissions to the MDT Build Account (MDT\_BA) for the **D:\\MDTProduction** folder
+
+On **MDT01**:
+
+1. Ensure you are signed in as **contoso\\administrator**.
+2. Modify the NTFS permissions for the **D:\\MDTProduction** folder by running the following command in an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:
+
+ ``` syntax
+ icacls "D:\MDTProduction" /grant '"CONTOSO\MDT_BA":(OI)(CI)(M)'
+ grant-smbshareaccess -Name MDTProduction$ -AccountName "Contoso\MDT_BA" -AccessRight Full -force
+ ```
+
+## Step 3: Add a custom image
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.
### Add the Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM custom image
-In these steps, we assume that you have completed the steps in the [Create a Windows 10 reference image](create-a-windows-10-reference-image.md) topic, so you have a Windows 10 reference image in the E:\\MDTBuildLab\\Captures folder on MDT01.
+In these steps, we assume that you have completed the steps in the [Create a Windows 10 reference image](create-a-windows-10-reference-image.md) topic, so you have a Windows 10 reference image at **D:\\MDTBuildLab\\Captures\REFW10X64-001.wim** on MDT01.
+
1. Using the Deployment Workbench, expand the **Deployment Shares** node, and then expand **MDT Production**; select the **Operating Systems** node, and create a folder named **Windows 10**.
2. Right-click the **Windows 10** folder and select **Import Operating System**.

6. On the **Destination** page, in the **Destination directory name** text box, type **W10EX64RTM**, click **Next** twice, and then click **Finish**.
-7. After adding the operating system, double-click the added operating system name in the **Operating Systems / Windows 10** node and change the name to match the following: **Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Custom Image**.
+7. After adding the operating system, double-click the added operating system name in the **Operating Systems / Windows 10** node and change the name to **Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Custom Image**.
>[!NOTE]
>The reason for adding the setup files has changed since earlier versions of MDT. MDT 2010 used the setup files to install Windows. MDT uses DISM to apply the image; however, you still need the setup files because some components in roles and features are stored outside the main image.

### Create the selection profiles for boot image drivers
By default, MDT adds any storage and network drivers that you import to the boot images. However, you should add only the drivers that are necessary to the boot image. You can control which drivers are added by using selection profiles.
The drivers that are used for the boot images (Windows PE) are Windows 10 drivers. If you can’t locate Windows 10 drivers for your device, a Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 driver will most likely work, but Windows 10 drivers should be your first choice.

### Extract and import drivers for the x64 boot image
Windows PE supports all the hardware models that we have, but here you learn to add boot image drivers to accommodate any new hardware that might require additional drivers. In this example, you add the latest Intel network drivers to the x64 boot image.
-In these steps, we assume you have downloaded PROWinx64.exe from Intel.com and saved it to a temporary folder.
-1. Extract PROWinx64.exe to a temporary folder - in this example to the **C:\\Tmp\\ProWinx64** folder.
-2. Using File Explorer, create the **E:\\Drivers\\WinPE x64\\Intel PRO1000** folder.
-3. Copy the content of the **C:\\Tmp\\PROWinx64\\PRO1000\\Winx64\\NDIS64** folder to the **E:\\Drivers\\WinPE x64\\Intel PRO1000** folder.
-4. Using Deployment Workbench, expand the **Out-of-Box Drivers** node, right-click the **WinPE x64** node, and select **Import Drivers**. Use the following setting for the Import Drivers Wizard:
- - Driver source directory: **E:\\Drivers\\WinPE x64\\Intel PRO1000**
+On **MDT01**:
+
+1. Download **PROWinx64.exe** from Intel.com (ex: [PROWinx64.exe](https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloads/eula/25016/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-10?httpDown=https%3A%2F%2Fdownloadmirror.intel.com%2F25016%2Feng%2FPROWinx64.exe)).
+2. Extract PROWinx64.exe to a temporary folder - in this example to the **C:\\Tmp\\ProWinx64** folder.
+ a. **Note**: Extracting the .exe file manually requires an extraction utility. You can also run the .exe and it will self-extract files to the **%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\RarSFX0** directory. This directory is temporary and will be deleted when the .exe terminates.
+3. Using File Explorer, create the **D:\\Drivers\\WinPE x64\\Intel PRO1000** folder.
+4. Copy the content of the **C:\\Tmp\\PROWinx64\\PRO1000\\Winx64\\NDIS64** folder to the **D:\\Drivers\\WinPE x64\\Intel PRO1000** folder.
+5. In the Deployment Workbench, expand the **MDT Production** > **Out-of-Box Drivers** node, right-click the **WinPE x64** node, and select **Import Drivers**, and use the following Driver source directory to import drivers: **D:\\Drivers\\WinPE x64\\Intel PRO1000**.

-# Deploy Windows 10 with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit
-
-**Applies to**
-- Windows 10
-
-This guide will walk you through the process of deploying Windows 10 in an enterprise environment using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).
-
-The Microsoft Deployment Toolkit is a unified collection of tools, processes, and guidance for automating desktop and server deployment. In addition to reducing deployment time and standardizing desktop and server images, MDT enables you to more easily manage security and ongoing configurations. MDT builds on top of the core deployment tools in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) with additional guidance and features designed to reduce the complexity and time required for deployment in an enterprise environment.
-MDT supports the deployment of Windows 10, as well as Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2. It also includes support for zero-touch installation (ZTI) with Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager.

-## Sample files
-
-The information in this guide is designed to help you deploy Windows 10. In order to help you put the information you learn into practice more quickly, we recommend that you download a small set of sample files for the fictitious Contoso Corporation:
-- [Gather.ps1](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619361). This sample Windows PowerShell script performs the MDT Gather process in a simulated MDT environment. This allows you to test the MDT gather process and check to see if it is working correctly without performing a full Windows deployment.
-- [Set-OUPermissions.ps1](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619362). This sample Windows PowerShell script creates a domain account and then configures OU permissions to allow the account to join machines to the domain in the specified OU.
-- [MDTSample.zip](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619363). This sample web service shows you how to configure a computer name dynamically using MDT.

+# Get started with MDT
+
+**Applies to**
+- Windows 10
+
+This article provides an overview of the features, components, and capabilities of the [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618117). When you have finished reviewing this information, see [Prepare for deployment with MDT](prepare-for-windows-deployment-with-mdt.md).
+
+## About MDT
+
+MDT is a unified collection of tools, processes, and guidance for automating desktop and server deployment. You can use it to create reference images or as a complete deployment solution. MDT is one of the most important tools available to IT professionals today.
+
+In addition to reducing deployment time and standardizing desktop and server images, MDT enables you to more easily manage security and ongoing configurations. MDT builds on top of the core deployment tools in the [Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install) (Windows ADK) with additional guidance and features designed to reduce the complexity and time required for deployment in an enterprise environment.
+
+MDT supports the deployment of Windows 10, as well as Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server. It also includes support for zero-touch installation (ZTI) with [Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/configmgr/).
+
+## Key features in MDT
+
+MDT has been in existence since 2003, when it was first introduced as Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) 1.0. The toolkit has evolved, both in functionality and popularity, and today it is considered fundamental to Windows operating system and enterprise application deployment.
+
+MDT has many useful features, such as:
+- **Windows Client support.** Supports Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.
+- **Windows Server support.** Supports Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019.
+- **Additional operating systems support.** Supports Windows Thin PC and [Windows Embedded POSReady 7](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26558), as well as Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry.
+- **UEFI support.** Supports deployment to machines using Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) version 2.3.1.
+- **GPT support.** Supports deployment to machines that require the new GPT partition table format. This is related to UEFI.
+- **Enhanced Windows PowerShell support.** Provides support for running PowerShell scripts.
+
+ 
+
+ The deployment share mounted as a standard PSDrive allows for administration using PowerShell.
+
+- **Add local administrator accounts.** Allows you to add multiple user accounts to the local Administrators group on the target computers, either via settings or the deployment wizard.
+- **Automated participation in CEIP and WER.** Provides configuration for participation in Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) and Windows Error Reporting (WER).
+- **Deploy Windows RE.** Enables deployment of a customized Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) as part of the task sequence.
+- **Deploy to VHD.** Provides ready-made task sequence templates for deploying Windows into a virtual hard disk (VHD) file.
+- **Improved deployment wizard.** Provides additional progress information and a cleaner UI for the Lite Touch Deployment Wizard.
+- **Monitoring.** Allows you to see the status of currently running deployments.
+- **Apply GPO Pack.** Allows you to deploy local group policy objects created by Microsoft Security Compliance Manager (SCM).
+- **Partitioning routines.** Provides improved partitioning routines to ensure that deployments work regardless of the current hard drive structure.
+- **Offline BitLocker.** Provides the capability to have BitLocker enabled during the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) phase, thus saving hours of encryption time.
+- **USMT offline user-state migration.** Provides support for running the User State Migration Tool (USMT) capture offline, during the Windows PE phase of the deployment.
+
+ 
+
+ The offline USMT backup in action.
+
+- **Install or uninstall Windows roles or features.** Enables you to select roles and features as part of the deployment wizard. MDT also supports uninstall of roles and features.
+- **Microsoft System Center Orchestrator integration.** Provides the capability to use Orchestrator runbooks as part of the task sequence.
+- **Support for DaRT.** Supports optional integration of the DaRT components into the boot image.
+- **Support for Microsoft Office.** Provides added support for deploying Microsoft Office.
+- **Support for Modern UI app package provisioning.** Provisions applications based on the new Windows app package standard, which is used in Windows 8 and later.
+- **Extensibility.** Provides the capability to extend MDT far beyond the built-in features by adding custom scripts, web services, System Center Orchestrator runbooks, PowerShell scripts, and VBScripts.
+- **Upgrade task sequence.** Provides a new upgrade task sequence template that you can use to upgrade existing Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 systems directly to Windows 10, automatically preserving all data, settings, applications, and drivers. For more information about using this new upgrade task sequence, refer to the [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit resource page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618117).
+
+## MDT Lite Touch components
+
+Many features in MDT support Lite Touch Installation (LTI) for Windows 10. An LTI deployment strategy requires very little infrastructure or user interaction, and can be used to deploy an operating system from a network share or from a physical media, such as a USB flash drive or disc.
+
+When deploying the Windows operating system using MDT, most of the administration and configuration is done through the Deployment Workbench, but you also can perform many of the tasks using Windows PowerShell. The easiest way to find out how to use PowerShell in MDT is to use the Deployment Workbench to perform an operation and at the end of that task, click View Script. That will give you the PowerShell command.
+
+
+
+If you click **View Script** on the right side, you will get the PowerShell code that was used to perform the task.
+
+## Deployment shares
+
+A deployment share is essentially a folder on the server that is shared and contains all the setup files and scripts needed for the deployment solution. It also holds the configuration files (called rules) that are gathered when a machine is deployed. These configuration files can reach out to other sources, like a database, external script, or web server to get additional settings for the deployment. For Lite Touch deployments, it is common to have two deployment shares: one for creating the reference images and one for deployment. For Zero Touch, it is common to have only the deployment share for creating reference images because Configuration Manager deploys the image in the production environment.
+
+## Rules
+
+The rules (CustomSettings.ini and Bootstrap.ini) make up the brain of MDT. The rules control the Windows Deployment Wizard on the client and, for example, can provide the following settings to the machine being deployed:
+- Computer name
+- Domain to join, and organizational unit (OU) in Active Directory to hold the computer object
+- Whether to enable BitLocker
+- Regional settings
+You can manage hundreds of settings in the rules. For more information, see the [Microsoft Deployment Toolkit resource center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618117).
+
+
+
+Example of a MDT rule. In this example, the new computer name is being calculated based on PC- plus the first seven (Left) characters from the serial number
+
+## Boot images
+
+Boot images are the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) images that are used to start the deployment. They can be started from a CD or DVD, an ISO file, a USB device, or over the network using a Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) server. The boot images connect to the deployment
+share on the server and start the deployment.
+
+## Operating systems
+
+Using the Deployment Workbench, you import the operating systems you want to deploy. You can import either the full source (like the full Windows 10 DVD/ISO) or a custom image that you have created. The full-source operating systems are primarily used to create reference images; however, they also can be used for normal deployments.
+
+## Applications
+
+Using the Deployment Workbench, you also add the applications you want to deploy. MDT supports virtually every executable Windows file type. The file can be a standard .exe file with command-line switches for an unattended install, a Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) package, a batch file, or a VBScript. In fact, it can be just about anything that can be executed unattended. MDT also supports the new Universal Windows apps.
+
+## Driver repository
+
+You also use the Deployment Workbench to import the drivers your hardware needs into a driver repository that lives on the server, not in the image.
+
+## Packages
+
+With the Deployment Workbench, you can add any Microsoft packages that you want to use. The most commonly added packages are language packs, and the Deployment Workbench Packages node works well for those. You also can add security and other updates this way. However, we generally recommend that you use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for operating system updates. The rare exceptions are critical hotfixes that are not available via WSUS, packages for the boot image, or any other package that needs to be deployed before the WSUS update process starts.
+
+## Task sequences
+
+Task sequences are the heart and soul of the deployment solution. When creating a task sequence, you need to select a template. The templates are located in the Templates folder in the MDT installation directory, and they determine which default actions are present in the sequence.
+
+You can think of a task sequence as a list of actions that need to be executed in a certain order. Each action can also have conditions. Some examples of actions are as follows:
+- **Gather.** Reads configuration settings from the deployment server.
+- **Format and Partition.** Creates the partition(s) and formats them.
+- **Inject Drivers.** Finds out which drivers the machine needs and downloads them from the central driver repository.
+- **Apply Operating System.** Uses ImageX to apply the image.
+- **Windows Update.** Connects to a WSUS server and updates the machine.
+
+## Task sequence templates
+
+MDT comes with nine default task sequence templates. You can also create your own templates. As long as you store them in the Templates folder, they will be available when you create a new task sequence.
+- **Sysprep and Capture task sequence.** Used to run the System Preparation (Sysprep) tool and capture an image of a reference computer.
+
+ **Note**: It is preferable to use a complete build and capture instead of the Sysprep and Capture task sequence. A complete build and capture can be automated, whereas Sysprep and Capture cannot.
+
+- **Standard Client task sequence.** The most frequently used task sequence. Used for creating reference images and for deploying clients in production.
+- **Standard Client Replace task sequence.** Used to run User State Migration Tool (USMT) backup and the optional full Windows Imaging (WIM) backup action. Can also be used to do a secure wipe of a machine that is going to be decommissioned.
+- **Custom task sequence.** As the name implies, a custom task sequence with only one default action (one Install Application action).
+- **Standard Server task sequence.** The default task sequence for deploying operating system images to servers. The main difference between this template and the Standard Client task sequence template is that it does not contain any USMT actions because USMT is not supported on servers.
+- **Lite Touch OEM task sequence.** Used to preload operating systems images on the computer hard drive. Typically used by computer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) but some enterprise organizations also use this feature.
+- **Post OS Installation task sequence.** A task sequence prepared to run actions after the operating system has been deployed. Very useful for server deployments but not often used for client deployments.
+- **Deploy to VHD Client task sequence.** Similar to the Standard Client task sequence template but also creates a virtual hard disk (VHD) file on the target computer and deploys the image to the VHD file.
+- **Deploy to VHD Server task sequence.** Same as the Deploy to VHD Client task sequence but for servers.
+- **Standard Client Upgrade task sequence.** A simple task sequence template used to perform an in-place upgrade from Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 directly to Windows 10, automatically preserving existing data, settings, applications, and drivers.
+
+## Selection profiles
+
+Selection profiles, which are available in the Advanced Configuration node, provide a way to filter content in the Deployment Workbench. Selection profiles are used for several purposes in the Deployment Workbench and in Lite Touch deployments. For example, they can be used to:
+- Control which drivers and packages are injected into the Lite Touch (and generic) boot images.
+- Control which drivers are injected during the task sequence.
+- Control what is included in any media that you create.
+- Control what is replicated to other deployment shares.
+- Filter which task sequences and applications are displayed in the Deployment Wizard.
+
+## Logging
+
+MDT uses many log files during operating system deployments. By default the logs are client side, but by configuring the deployment settings, you can have MDT store them on the server, as well.
+
+**Note**
+The easiest way to view log files is to use Configuration Manager Trace (CMTrace), which is included in the [System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager Toolkit](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=734717).
+
+## Monitoring
+
+On the deployment share, you also can enable monitoring. After you enable monitoring, you will see all running deployments in the Monitor node in the Deployment Workbench.

MDT01 is a member of the domain contoso.com for the fictitious Contoso Corporation. For more details on the setup for this topic, please see [Deploy Windows 10 with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit](deploy-windows-10-with-the-microsoft-deployment-toolkit.md#proof).
+## Infrastructure
-## System requirements
+The procedures in this guide use the following names and infrastructure.
-MDT requires the following components:
-- Any of the following operating systems:
- - Windows 7
- - Windows 8
- - Windows 8.1
- - Windows 10
- - Windows Server 2008 R2
- - Windows Server 2012
- - Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10
-- Windows PowerShell
-- Microsoft .NET Framework
+### Network and servers
-## Install Windows ADK for Windows 10
+For the purposes of this topic, we will use three server computers: **DC01**, **MDT01**, and **HV01**.
+- All servers are running Windows Server 2019.
+ - You can use an earlier version of Windows Server with minor modifications to some procedures.
+ - Note: Although MDT supports Windows Server 2008 R2, at least Windows Server 2012 R2 or later is requried to perform the procedures in this guide.
+- **DC01** is a domain controller, DHCP server, and DNS server for contoso.com, representing the fictitious Contoso Corporation.
+- **MDT01** is a domain member server in contoso.com with a data (D:) drive that can store at least 200GB. MDT01 will host deployment shares and run the Windows Deployment Service. Optionally, MDT01 is also a WSUS server.
+ - A second MDT server (**MDT02**) configured identially to MDT01 is optionally used to [build a distributed environment](build-a-distributed-environment-for-windows-10-deployment.md) for Windows 10 deployment. This server is located on a different subnet than MDT01 and has a different default gateway.
+- **HV01** is a Hyper-V host computer that is used to build a Windows 10 reference image.
+ - See [Hyper-V requirements](#hyper-v-requirements) below for more information about HV01.
-These steps assume that you have the MDT01 member server installed and configured and that you have downloaded [Windows ADK for Windows 10](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526803) to the E:\\Downloads\\ADK folder.
-1. On MDT01, log on as Administrator in the CONTOSO domain using a password of P@ssw0rd.
-2. Start the **ADK Setup** (E:\\Downloads\\ADK\\adksetup.exe), and on the first wizard page, click **Continue**.
-3. On the **Select the features you want to change** page, select the features below and complete the wizard using the default settings:

+- **PC0002**: A computer running Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise x64, fully patched with the latest security updates, and configured as a member in the contoso.com domain. This computer is referenced during the migration scenarios.
+ - Client name: PC0002
+ - IP Address: DHCP
+- **PC0003 - PC0007**: These are other client computers similar to PC0001 and PC0002 that are used in this guide and another guide for various scenarios. The device names are incremented for clarity within each scenario. For example, PC0003 and PC0004 are running Windows 7 just like PC0002, but are used for Configuration Manager refresh and replace scenarios, respectively.
-These steps assume that you have downloaded [MDT](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618117 ) to the E:\\Downloads\\MDT folder on MDT01.
+### Storage requirements
-1. On MDT01, log on as Administrator in the CONTOSO domain using a password of P@ssw0rd.
-2. Install **MDT** (E:\\Downloads\\MDT\\MicrosoftDeploymentToolkit\_x64.msi) with the default settings.
+MDT01 and HV01 should have the ability to store up to 200 GB of files on a data drive (D:). If you use a computer with a single system partition (C:) you will need to adjust come procedures in this guide to specify the C: drive instead of the D: drive.
-## Create the OU structure
+### Hyper-V requirements
-If you do not have an organizational unit (OU) structure in your Active Directory, you should create one. In this section, you create an OU structure and a service account for MDT.
-1. On DC01, using Active Directory User and Computers, in the contoso.com domain level, create a top-level OU named **Contoso**.
+If you do not have access to a Hyper-V server, you can install Hyper-V on a Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 computer temporarily to use for building reference images. For instructions on how to enable Hyper-V on Windows 10, see the [Verify support and install Hyper-V](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-10-poc#verify-support-and-install-hyper-v) section in the Windows 10 deployment test lab guide. This guide is a proof-of-concept guide that has detailed instructions for installing Hyper-V.
+
+### Network requirements
+
+All server and client computers referenced in this guide are on the same subnet. This is not required, but each server and client computer must be able to connect to each other to share files, and to resolve all DNS names and Active Directory information for the contoso.com domain. Internet connectivity is also required to download OS and application updates.
+
+### Domain credentials
+
+The following generic credentials are used in this guide. You should replace these credentials as they appear in each procedure with your credentials.
+
+**Active Directory domain name**: contoso.com
+**Domain administrator username**: administrator
+**Domain administrator password**: pass@word1
+
+### Organizational unit structure
+
+The following OU structure is used in this guide. Instructions are provided [below](#create-the-ou-structure) to help you create the required OUs.
+
+
+
+## Install the Windows ADK
+
+These steps assume that you have the MDT01 member server running and configured as a domain member server.
+
+On **MTD01**:
+
+Visit the [Download and install the Windows ADK](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526803) page and download the following items to the **D:\\Downloads\\ADK** folder on MDT01 (you will need to create this folder):
+- [The Windows ADK for Windows 10](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2086042)
+- [The Windows PE add-on for the ADK](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2087112)
+- [The Windows System Image Manager (WSIM) 1903 update](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2095334)
+
+>[!TIP]
+>You might need to temporarily disable IE Enhanced Security Configuration for administrators in order to download files from the Internet to the server. This setting can be disabled by using Server Manager (Local Server/Properties).
+
+1. On **MDT01**, ensure that you are signed in as an administrator in the CONTOSO domain.
+ - For the purposes of this guide, we are using a Domain Admin account of **administrator** with a password of pass@word1. You can use your own administrator username and password as long as you properly adjust all steps in this guide that use these login credentials.
+2. Start the **ADK Setup** (D:\\Downloads\\ADK\\adksetup.exe), click **Next** twice to accept the default installation parameters, click **Accept** to accept the license agreement, and then on the **Select the features you want to install** page accept the default list of features by clicking **Install**. This will install deployment tools and the USMT. Verify that the installation completes successfully before moving to the next step.
+3. Start the **WinPE Setup** (D:\\Downloads\\ADK\\adkwinpesetup.exe), click **Next** twice to accept the default installation parameters, click **Accept** to accept the license agreement, and then on the **Select the features you want to install** page click **Install**. This will install Windows PE for x86, AMD64, ARM, and ARM64. Verify that the installation completes successfully before moving to the next step.
+4. Extract the **WSIM 1903 update** (D:\\Downloads\ADK\\WSIM1903.zip) and then run the **UpdateWSIM.bat** file.
+ - You can confirm that the update is applied by viewing properties of the ImageCat.exe and ImgMgr.exe files at **C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\Deployment Tools\\WSIM** and verifying that the **Details** tab displays a **File version** of **10.0.18362.144** or later.
+
+## Install and initialize Windows Deployment Services (WDS)
+
+On **MDT01**:
+
+1. Open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt and enter the following command:
+
+ ```powershell
+ Install-WindowsFeature -Name WDS -IncludeManagementTools
+ WDSUTIL /Verbose /Progress /Initialize-Server /Server:MDT01 /RemInst:"D:\RemoteInstall"
+ WDSUTIL /Set-Server /AnswerClients:All
+ ```
+
+## Optional: Install Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)
+
+If you wish to use MDT as a WSUS server using the Windows Internal Database (WID), use the following command to install this service. Alternatively, change the WSUS server information in this guide to the WSUS server in your environment.
+
+To install WSUS on MDT01, enter the following at an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:
+
+ ```powershell
+ Install-WindowsFeature -Name UpdateServices, UpdateServices-WidDB, UpdateServices-Services, UpdateServices-RSAT, UpdateServices-API, UpdateServices-UI
+ cmd /c "C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools\wsusutil.exe" postinstall CONTENT_DIR=C:\WSUS
+ ```
+
+>To use the WSUS that you have installed on MDT01, you must also [configure Group Policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/waas-manage-updates-wsus#configure-automatic-updates-and-update-service-location) on DC01.
+
+## Install MDT
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>MDT installation requires the following:
+>- The Windows ADK for Windows 10 (installed in the previous procedure)
+>- Windows PowerShell ([version 5.1](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=54616) is recommended; type **$host** to check)
+>- Microsoft .NET Framework
+
+On **MDT01**:
+
+1. Visit the [MDT resource page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618117) and click **Download MDT**.
+2. Save the **MicrosoftDeploymentToolkit_x64.msi** file to the D:\\Downloads\\MDT folder on MDT01.
+ - **Note**: As of the publishing date for this guide, the current version of MDT is 8456 (6.3.8456.1000), but a later version will also work.
+3. Install **MDT** (D:\\Downloads\\MDT\\MicrosoftDeploymentToolkit_x64.exe) with the default settings.
+
+## Create the OU structure
+
+Switch to **DC01** and perform the following procedures on **DC01**:
+
+To create the OU structure, you can use the Active Directory Users and Computers console (dsa.msc), or you can use Windows PowerShell.
+
+To use Windows PowerShell, copy the following commands into a text file and save it as C:\Setup\Scripts\ou.ps1. Be sure that you are viewing file extensions and that you save the file with the .ps1 extension.
+
+```powershell
+$oulist = Import-csv -Path c:\oulist.txt
+ForEach($entry in $oulist){
+ $ouname = $entry.ouname
+ $oupath = $entry.oupath
+ New-ADOrganizationalUnit -Name $ouname -Path $oupath -WhatIf
+ Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "OU $ouname is created in the location $oupath"
+}
+```
+
+Next, copy the following list of OU names and paths into a text file and save it as C:\Setup\Scripts\oulist.txt
+
+```text
+OUName,OUPath
+Contoso,"DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"
+Accounts,"OU=Contoso,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"
+Computers,"OU=Contoso,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"
+Groups,"OU=Contoso,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"

+Workstations,"OU=Computers,OU=Contoso,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"
+Security Groups,"OU=Groups,OU=Contoso,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM"
+```
+
+Lastly, open an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt on DC01 and run the ou.ps1 script:
+
+```powershell
+Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force
+Set-Location C:\Setup\Scripts
+.\ou.ps1
+```
+
+This will create an OU structure as shown below.
+
+
+
+To use the Active Directory Users and Computers console (instead of PowerShell):
+
+On **DC01**:
+
+1. Using the Active Directory Users and Computers console (dsa.msc), in the contoso.com domain level, create a top-level OU named **Contoso**.
2. In the **Contoso** OU, create the following OUs:

-# Refresh a Windows 7 computer with Windows 10
-
-**Applies to**
-- Windows 10
-
-This topic will show you how to use MDT Lite Touch Installation (LTI) to upgrade a Windows 7 computer to a Windows 10 computer using the computer refresh process. The refresh scenario, or computer refresh, is a reinstallation of an operating system on the same machine. You can refresh the machine to the same operating system as it is currently running, or to a later version.
-
-For the purposes of this topic, we will use three machines: DC01, MDT01, and PC0001. DC01 is a domain controller and MDT01 is a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard server. PC0001 is a machine with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) that is going to be refreshed into a Windows 10 machine, with data and settings restored. MDT01 and PC0001 are members of the domain contoso.com for the fictitious Contoso Corporation. For more details on the setup for this topic, please see [Deploy Windows 10 with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit](deploy-windows-10-with-the-microsoft-deployment-toolkit.md#proof).
-
-
-
-Figure 1. The machines used in this topic.
-
-## The computer refresh process
-
-Even though a computer will appear, to the end user, to be upgraded, a computer refresh is not, technically, an in-place upgrade. A computer refresh also involves taking care of user data and settings from the old installation and making sure to restore those at the end of the installation.
-For a computer refresh with MDT, you use the User State Migration Tool (USMT), which is part of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10, to migrate user data and settings. To complete a computer refresh you will:
-
-1. Back up data and settings locally, in a backup folder.
-
-2. Wipe the partition, except for the backup folder.
-
-3. Apply the new operating system image.
-
-4. Install other applications.
-
-5. Restore data and settings.
-
-During the computer refresh, USMT uses a feature called Hard-Link Migration Store. When you use this feature, the files are simply linked in the file system, which allows for fast migration, even when there is a lot of data.
-
->[!NOTE]
->In addition to the USMT backup, you can enable an optional full Windows Imaging (WIM) backup of the machine by configuring the MDT rules. If you do this, a .wim file is created in addition to the USMT backup. The .wim file will contain the entire volume from the computer, and helpdesk personnel can extract content from it if needed. Please note that this is a data WIM backup only. Using this backup to restore the entire machine is not a supported scenario.
-
-### Multi-user migration
-
-By default, ScanState in USMT backs up all profiles on the machine, including local computer profiles. If you have a machine that has been in your environment for a while, it likely has several domain-based profiles on it, including those of former users. You can limit which profiles are backed up
-by configuring command-line switches to ScanState (added as rules in MDT).
-
-As an example, the following line configures USMT to migrate only domain user profiles and not profiles from the local SAM account database: ScanStateArgs=/ue:\*\\\* /ui:CONTOSO\\\*
-
->[!NOTE]
->You also can combine the preceding switches with the /uel switch, which excludes profiles that have not been accessed within a specific number of days. For example, adding /uel:60 will configure ScanState (or LoadState) not to include profiles that haven't been accessed for more than 60 days.
-
-### Support for additional settings
-
-In addition to the command-line switches that control which profiles to migrate, the XML templates control exactly what data is being migrated. You can control data within and outside the user profiles
-
-## Create a custom User State Migration Tool (USMT) template
-
-In this section, you learn to migrate additional data using a custom template. You configure the environment to use a custom USMT XML template that will:
-
-1. Back up the **C:\\Data** folder (including all files and folders).
-
-2. Scan the local disk for PDF documents (\*.pdf files) and restore them into the **C:\\Data\\PDF Documents** folder on the destination machine.
- The custom USMT template is named MigContosoData.xml, and you can find it in the sample files for this documentation, which include:
-
- * [Gather script](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619361)
- * [Set-OUPermissions](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619362) script
- * [MDT Sample Web Service](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619363)
-
-### Add the custom XML template
-
-In order to use the custom MigContosoData.xml USMT template, you need to copy it to the MDT Production deployment share and update the CustomSettings.ini file. In these steps, we assume you have downloaded the MigContosoData.xml file.
-1. Using File Explorer, copy the MigContosoData.xml file to the **E:\\MDTProduction\\Tools\\x64\\USMT5** folder.
-2. Using Notepad, edit the E:\\MDTProduction\\Control\\CustomSettings.ini file. After the USMTMigFiles002=MigUser.xml line add the following line:
-
- ``` syntax
- USMTMigFiles003=MigContosoData.xml
- ```
-3. Save the CustomSettings.ini file.
-
-## Refresh a Windows 7 SP1 client
-
-After adding the additional USMT template and configuring the CustomSettings.ini file to use it, you are now ready to refresh a Windows 7 SP1 client to Windows 10. In these steps, we assume you have a Windows 7 SP1 client named PC0001 in your environment that is ready for a refresh to Windows 10.
-
->[!NOTE]
->MDT also supports an offline computer refresh. For more info on that scenario, see the USMTOfflineMigration property in the [MDT resource page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618117).
-
-### Upgrade (refresh) a Windows 7 SP1 client
-
-1. On PC0001, log on as **CONTOSO\\Administrator**. Start the Lite Touch Deploy Wizard by executing **\\\\MDT01\\MDTProduction$\\Scripts\\Litetouch.vbs**. Complete the deployment guide using the following settings:
-
- * Select a task sequence to execute on this computer: Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM
- * Computer name: <default>
- * Specify where to save a complete computer backup: Do not back up the existing computer
- >[!NOTE]
- >Skip this optional full WIM backup. The USMT backup will still run.
-
-2. Select one or more applications to install: Install - Adobe Reader XI - x86
-
-3. The setup now starts and does the following:
-
- * Backs up user settings and data using USMT.
- * Installs the Windows 10 Enterprise x64 operating system.
- * Installs the added application(s).
- * Updates the operating system via your local Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server.
- * Restores user settings and data using USMT.

+# Refresh a Windows 7 computer with Windows 10
+
+**Applies to**
+- Windows 10
+
+This topic will show you how to use MDT Lite Touch Installation (LTI) to upgrade a Windows 7 computer to a Windows 10 computer using the online computer refresh process. The computer refresh scenario is a reinstallation of an updated operating system on the same computer. You can also use this procedure to reinstall the same OS version. In this article, the computer refresh will be done while the computer is online. MDT also supports an offline computer refresh. For more info on that scenario, see the USMTOfflineMigration property on the [MDT resource page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618117).
+
+For the purposes of this topic, we will use three computers: DC01, MDT01, and PC0001.
+- DC01 is a domain controller for the contoso.com domain.
+- MDT01 is domain member server that hosts your deployment share.
+- PC0001 is a domain member computer running a previous version of Windows that is going to be refreshed to a new version of Windows 10, with data and settings restored. The example used here is a computer running Windows 7 SP1.
+
+Both DC01 and MDT01 are running Windows Server 2019; however any supported version of Windows Server can be used. For more details on the setup for this topic, please see [Prepare for deployment with MDT](prepare-for-windows-deployment-with-mdt.md).
+
+
+
+The computers used in this topic.
+
+## The computer refresh process
+
+A computer refresh is not the same as an in-place upgrade because a computer refresh involves exporting user data and settings then wiping the device before installing a fresh OS and restoring the user's data and settings.
+
+For a computer refresh with MDT, you use the User State Migration Tool (USMT), which is part of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10, to migrate user data and settings. To complete a computer refresh you will:
+
+1. Back up data and settings locally, in a backup folder.
+2. Wipe the partition, except for the backup folder.
+3. Apply the new operating system image.
+4. Install other applications.
+5. Restore data and settings.
+
+During the computer refresh, USMT uses a feature called Hard-Link Migration Store. When you use this feature, the files are simply linked in the file system, which allows for fast migration, even when there is a lot of data.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>In addition to the USMT backup, you can enable an optional full Windows Imaging (WIM) backup of the machine by configuring the MDT rules. If you do this, a .wim file is created in addition to the USMT backup. The .wim file contains the entire volume from the computer and helpdesk personnel can extract content from it if needed. Please note that this is a data WIM backup only. Using this backup to restore the entire computer is not a supported scenario.
+
+### Multi-user migration
+
+By default, ScanState in USMT backs up all profiles on the machine, including local computer profiles. If you have a computer that has been in your environment for a while, it likely has several domain-based profiles on it, including those of former users. You can limit which profiles are backed up by configuring command-line switches to ScanState (added as rules in MDT).

+For example, the following line configures USMT to migrate only domain user profiles and not profiles from the local SAM account database: ScanStateArgs=/ue:\*\\\* /ui:CONTOSO\\\*
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>You also can combine the preceding switches with the /uel switch, which excludes profiles that have not been accessed within a specific number of days. For example, adding /uel:60 will configure ScanState (or LoadState) not to include profiles that haven't been accessed for more than 60 days.
+
+### Support for additional settings
+
+In addition to the command-line switches that control which profiles to migrate, [XML templates](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/usmt/understanding-migration-xml-files) control exactly what data is being migrated. You can control data within and outside the user profiles.
+
+### Multicast
+
+Multicast is a technology designed to optimize simultaneous deployment to multiple devices. If you have a limited number of simultaneous deployments, you should disable multicast which was [configured in a previous procedure](deploy-a-windows-10-image-using-mdt.md#set-up-mdt-for-multicast) in this guide. Disabling multicast will speed up deployment for a small number of computers. You will need to update the deployment share after changing this setting.
+
+## Refresh a Windows 7 SP1 client
+
+In these section, we assume that you have already performed the prerequisite procedures in the following topics, so that you have a deployment share named **MDTProduction$** on MDT01:
+
+- [Prepare for deployment with MDT](prepare-for-windows-deployment-with-mdt.md)
+- [Create a Windows 10 reference image](create-a-windows-10-reference-image.md)
+- [Deploy a Windows 10 image using MDT](deploy-a-windows-10-image-using-mdt.md)
+
+It is also assumed that you have a domain member client computer named PC0001 in your environment running Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 that is ready for a refresh to the latest version of Windows 10. For demonstration purposes, we will refreshing a Windows 7 SP1 PC to Windows 10, version 1909.
+
+### Upgrade (refresh) a Windows 7 SP1 client
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>Domain join details [specified in the deployment share rules](deploy-a-windows-10-image-using-mdt.md#configure-the-rules) will be used to rejoin the computer to the domain during the refresh process. If the Windows 7 client is domain-jonied in a different OU than the one specified by MachineObjectOU, the domain join process will initially fail and then retry without specifying an OU. If the domain account that is specified (ex: **MDT_JD**) has [permissions limited to a specific OU](deploy-a-windows-10-image-using-mdt.md#step-1-configure-active-directory-permissions) then the domain join will ultimately fail, the refresh process will proceed, and the client computer object will be orphaned in Active Directory. In the current guide, computer objects should be located in Contoso > Computers > Workstations. Use the Active Directory Users and Computers console to review the location of computer objects and move them if needed. To diagnose MDT domain join errors, see **ZTIDomainJoin.log** in the C:\Windows\Temp\DeploymentLogs directory on the client computer.
+
+1. On PC0001, sign in as **contoso\\Administrator** and start the Lite Touch Deploy Wizard by opening **\\\\MDT01\\MDTProduction$\\Scripts\\Litetouch.vbs**.
+2. Complete the deployment guide using the following settings:
+
+ * Select a task sequence to execute on this computer: Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Custom Image
+ * Computer name: <default>
+ * Specify where to save a complete computer backup: Do not back up the existing computer
+ >[!NOTE]
+ >Skip this optional full WIM backup that we are choosing not to perform. The USMT backup will still run.
+ * Select one or more applications to install: Install - Adobe Reader
+
+ 
+
+4. Setup starts and does the following:
+
+ * Backs up user settings and data using USMT.
+ * Installs the Windows 10 Enterprise x64 operating system.
+ * Installs any added applications.
+ * Updates the operating system using your local Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server.
+ * Restores user settings and data using USMT.
+
+5. You can monitor progress of the deployment using the deployment workbench on MDT01. See the following example:
+
+ 
+
+6. After the refresh process completes, sign in to the Windows 10 computer and verify that user accounts, data and settings were migrated.

+# 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
+
+ 
+
+ 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: W10EX64RTM
+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.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+After the task sequence completes, the computer will be fully upgraded to Windows 10.

+# Deploy Windows 10 with Configuration Manager
+
+
+**Applies to**
+
+- Windows 10 versions 1507, 1511
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>For instructions to deploy the most recent version of Windows 10 with Configuration Manager, see [Scenarios to deploy enterprise operating systems with System Center Configuration Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/sccm/osd/deploy-use/scenarios-to-deploy-enterprise-operating-systems).
+>Configuration Manager 2012 and 2012 R2 provide support for Windows 10 versions 1507 and 1511 only. Later versions of Windows 10 require an updated Configuration Manager release. For a list of Configuration Manager versions and the corresponding Windows 10 client versions that are supported, see [Support for Windows 10 for System Center Configuration Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/sccm/core/plan-design/configs/support-for-windows-10).
+
+If you have Configuration Manager in your environment, you will most likely want to use it to deploy Windows 10. This topic will show you how to set up Configuration Manager for operating system deployment and how to integrate Configuration Manager with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).
+
+For the purposes of this topic, we will use four machines: DC01, CM01, PC0003, and PC0004. DC01 is a domain controller and CM01 is a machine running Windows Server 2012 R2 standard. PC0003 and PC0004 are machines with Windows 7 SP1, on which Windows 10 will be deployed via both refresh and replace scenarios. In addition to these four ready-made machines, you could also include a few blank virtual machines to be used for bare-metal deployments. DC01, CM01, PC003, and PC0004 are all members of the domain contoso.com for the fictitious Contoso Corporation. For more details on the setup for this topic, please see [Deploy Windows 10 with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit](../deploy-windows-mdt/deploy-windows-10-with-the-microsoft-deployment-toolkit.md).

+## Components of Configuration Manager operating system deployment
+
+
+Operating system deployment with Configuration Manager is part of the normal software distribution infrastructure, but there are additional components. For example, operating system deployment in Configuration Manager may use the State Migration Point role, which is not used by normal application deployment in Configuration Manager. This section describes the Configuration Manager components involved with the deployment of an operating system, such as Windows 10.
+
+- **State migration point (SMP).** The state migration point is used to store user state migration data during computer replace scenarios.
+- **Distribution point (DP).** The distribution point is used to store all packages in Configuration Manager, including the operating system deployment-related packages.
+- **Software update point (SUP).** The software update point, which is normally used to deploy updates to existing machines, also can be used to update an operating system as part of the deployment process. You also can use offline servicing to update the image directly on the Configuration Manager server.
+- **Reporting services point.** The reporting services point can be used to monitor the operating system deployment process.
+- **Boot images.** Boot images are the Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) images Configuration Manager uses to start the deployment.
+- **Operating system images.** The operating system image package contains only one file, the custom .wim image. This is typically the production deployment image.
+- **Operating system installers.** The operating system installers were originally added to create reference images using Configuration Manager. Instead, we recommend that you use MDT Lite Touch to create your reference images. For more information on how to create a reference image, see [Create a Windows 10 reference image](../deploy-windows-mdt/create-a-windows-10-reference-image.md).
+- **Drivers.** Like MDT Lite Touch, Configuration Manager also provides a repository (catalog) of managed device drivers.
+- **Task sequences.** The task sequences in Configuration Manager look and feel pretty much like the sequences in MDT Lite Touch, and they are used for the same purpose. However, in Configuration Manager the task sequence is delivered to the clients as a policy via the Management Point (MP). MDT provides additional task sequence templates to Configuration Manager.
+
+ **Note** Configuration Manager SP1 along with the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10 are required to support management and deployment of Windows 10.

-Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager provides maximum control over quality and feature updates for Windows 10. Unlike other servicing tools, Configuration Manager has capabilities that extend beyond servicing, such as application deployment, antivirus management, software metering, and reporting, and provides a secondary deployment method for LTSB clients. Configuration Manager can effectively control bandwidth usage and content distribution through a combination of BranchCache and distribution points. Microsoft encourages organizations currently using Configuration Manager for Windows update management to continue doing so for Windows 10 client computers.
-
-You can use Configuration Manager to service Windows 10 devices in two ways. The first option is to use Windows 10 Servicing Plans to deploy Windows 10 feature updates automatically based on specific criteria, similar to an Automatic Deployment Rule for software updates. The second option is to use a task sequence to deploy feature updates, along with anything else in the installation.
-
->[!NOTE]
->This topic focuses on updating and upgrading Windows 10 after it has already been deployed. To use Configuration Manager to upgrade your systems from the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7 operating system, see [Upgrade to Windows 10 with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/windows/deploy/upgrade-to-windows-10-with-system-center-configuraton-manager).

-## Windows 10 servicing dashboard
-
-The Windows 10 servicing dashboard gives you a quick-reference view of your active servicing plans, compliance for servicing plan deployment, and other key information about Windows 10 servicing. For details about what each tile on the servicing dashboard represents, see [Manage Windows as a service using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/mt627931.aspx).
-
-For the Windows 10 servicing dashboard to display information, you must adhere to the following requirements:
-
-- **Heartbeat discovery**. Enable heartbeat discovery for the site receiving Windows 10 servicing information. Configuration for heartbeat discovery can be found in Administration\Overview\Hierarchy Configuration\Discovery Methods.
-- **Windows Server Update Service (WSUS)**. Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager must have the Software update point site system role added and configured to receive updates from a WSUS 4.0 server with the hotfix KB3095113 installed.
-- **Service connection point**. Add the Service connection point site system role in Online, persistent connection mode.
-- **Upgrade classification**. Select **Upgrade** from the list of synchronized software update classifications.
-
- **To configure Upgrade classification**
-
- 1. Go to Administration\Overview\Site Configuration\Sites, and then select your site from the list.
-
- 2. On the Ribbon, in the **Settings** section, click **Configure Site Components**, and then click **Software Update Point**.
-
- 
-
- 3. In the **Software Update Point Component Properties** dialog box, on the **Classifications** tab, click **Upgrades**.
-
-When you have met all these requirements and deployed a servicing plan to a collection, you’ll receive information on the Windows 10 servicing dashboard.
-
-## Create collections for deployment rings
-
-Regardless of the method by which you deploy Windows 10 feature updates to your environment, you must start the Windows 10 servicing process by creating collections of computers that represent your deployment rings. In this example, you create two collections: **Windows 10 – All Current Branch for Business** and **Ring 4 Broad business users**. You’ll use the **Windows 10 – All Current Branch for Business** collection for reporting and deployments that should go to all CBB clients. You’ll use the **Ring 4 Broad business users** collection as a deployment ring for the first CBB users.
-
->[!NOTE]
->The following procedures use the groups from Table 1 in [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) as examples.
-
-**To create collections for deployment rings**
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Assets and Compliance\Overview\Device Collections.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Create Device Collection**.
-
-3. In the Create Device Collection Wizard, in the **name** box, type **Windows 10 – All Current Branch for Business**.
-
-4. Click **Browse** to select the limiting collection, and then click **All Systems**.
-
-5. In **Membership rules**, click **Add Rule**, and then click **Query Rule**.
-
-6. Name the rule **CBB Detection**, and then click **Edit Query Statement**.
-
-7. On the **Criteria** tab, click the **New** icon.
-
- 
-
-8. In the **Criterion Properties** dialog box, leave the type as **Simple Value**, and then click **Select**.
-
-9. In the **Select Attribute** dialog box, from the **Attribute class** list, select **System Resource**. From the **Attribute** list, select **OSBranch**, and then click **OK**.
-
- 
-
- >[!NOTE]
- >Configuration Manager discovers clients’ servicing branch and stores that value in the **OSBranch** attribute, which you will use to create collections based on servicing branch. The values in this attribute can be **0 (Current Branch)**, **1 (Current Branch for Business)**, or **2 (Long-Term Servicing Branch)**.
-

-
-18. Close the wizard.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Windows Insider PCs are discovered the same way as CB or CBB devices. If you have Windows Insider PCs that you use Configuration Manager to manage, then you should create a collection of those PCs and exclude them from this collection. You can create the membership for the Windows Insider collection either manually or by using a query where the operating system build doesn’t equal any of the current CB or CBB build numbers. You would have to update each periodically to include new devices or new operating system builds.
-
-After you have updated the membership, this new collection will contain all managed clients on the CBB servicing branch. You will use this collection as a limiting collection for future CBB-based collections and the **Ring 4 Broad broad business users** collection. Complete the following steps to create the **Ring 4 Broad business users** device collection, which you’ll use as a CBB deployment ring for servicing plans or task sequences.
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Assets and Compliance\Overview\Device Collections.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Create Device Collection**.
-
-3. In the Create Device Collection Wizard, in the **name** box, type **Ring 4 Broad business users**.

-
-## Use Windows 10 servicing plans to deploy Windows 10 feature updates
-
-There are two ways to deploy Windows 10 feature updates with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. The first is to use servicing plans, which provide an automated method to update devices consistently in their respective deployment rings, similar to Automatic Deployment Rules for software updates.
-
-**To configure Windows feature updates for CBB clients in the Ring 4 Broad business users deployment ring using a servicing plan**
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Windows 10 Servicing, and then click **Servicing Plans**.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Create Servicing Plan**.
-
-3. Name the plan **Ring 4 Broad business users Servicing Plan**, and then click **Next**.
-
-4. On the **Servicing Plan page**, click **Browse**. Select the **Ring 4 Broad business users** collection, which you created in the [Create collections for deployment rings](#create-collections-for-deployment-rings) section, click **OK**, and then click **Next**.
-
- >[!IMPORTANT]
- >Microsoft added a new protection feature to Configuration Manager that prevents accidental installation of high-risk deployments such as operating system upgrades on site systems. If you select a collection (All Systems in this example) that has a site system in it, you may receive the following message.
- >
- >
- >
- >For details about how to manage the settings for high-risk deployments in Configuration Manager, see [Settings to manage high-risk deployments for Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/mt621992.aspx).
-
-5. On the **Deployment Ring** page, select the **Business Ready (Current Branch for Business)** readiness state, leave the delay at **0 days**, and then click **Next**.
-
- Doing so deploys CBB feature updates to the broad business users deployment ring immediately after they are released to CBB.
-
- On the Upgrades page, you specify filters for the feature updates to which this servicing plan is applicable. For example, if you wanted this plan to be only for Windows 10 Enterprise, you could select **Title**, and then type **Enterprise**.
-
-6. For this example, on the **Upgrades** page, click **Next** to leave the criterion blank.
-
-7. On the **Deployment Schedule** page, click **Next** to keep the default values of making the content available immediately and requiring installation by the 7-day deadline.
-
-8. On the **User Experience** page, from the **Deadline behavior** list, select **Software Installation and System restart (if necessary)**. From the **Device restart behavior** list, select **Workstations**, and then click **Next**.
-
- Doing so allows installation and restarts after the 7-day deadline on workstations only.
-
-9. On the **Deployment Package** page, select **Create a new deployment package**. In **Name**, type **CBB Upgrades**, select a share for your package source location, and then click **Next**.
-
- In this example, \\contoso-cm01\Sources\Windows 10 Feature Upgrades is a share on the Configuration Manager server that contains all the Windows 10 feature updates.
-
- 
-
-10. On the **Distribution Points** page, from the **Add** list, select **Distribution Point**.
-
- 
-
- Select the distribution points that serve the clients to which you’re deploying this servicing plan, and then click **OK**.
-
-11. Click **Summary**, click **Next** to complete the servicing plan, and then click **Close**.
-
-
-You have now created a servicing plan for the **Ring 4 Broad business users** deployment ring. By default, this rule is evaluated each time the software update point is synchronized, but you can modify this schedule by viewing the service plan’s properties on the **Evaluation Schedule** tab.
-
-
-
-
-## Use a task sequence to deploy Windows 10 updates
-
-There are times when deploying a Windows 10 feature update requires the use of a task sequence—for example:
-
-- **LTSB feature updates**. With the LTSB servicing branch, feature updates are never provided to the Windows clients themselves. Instead, feature updates must be installed like a traditional in-place upgrade.
-- **Additional required tasks**. When deploying a feature update requires additional steps (e.g., suspending disk encryption, updating applications), you must use task sequences to orchestrate the additional steps. Servicing plans do not have the ability to add steps to their deployments.
-
-Each time Microsoft releases a new Windows 10 build, it releases a new .iso file containing the latest build, as well. Regardless of the scenario that requires a task sequence to deploy the Windows 10 upgrade, the base process is the same. Start by creating an Operating System Upgrade Package in the Configuration Manager console:
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Operating System Upgrade Packages.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Add Operating System Upgrade Package**.
-
-3. On the **Data Source** page, type the path of the extracted .iso file of the new version of Windows 10 you’re deploying, and then click **Next**.
-
- In this example, the Windows 10 Enterprise 1607 installation media is deployed to \\contoso-cm01\Sources\Operating Systems\Windows 10 Enterprise\Windows 10 Enterprise - Version 1607.
-
-4. On the **General** page, in the **Name** field, type the name of the folder (**Windows 10 Enterprise - Version 1607** in this example). Set the **Version** to **1607**, and then click **Next**.
-
-5. On the **Summary** page, click **Next** to create the package.
-
-6. On the **Completion** page, click **Close**.
-
-Now that the operating system upgrade package has been created, the content in that package must be distributed to the correct distribution points so that the clients can access the content. Complete the following steps to distribute the package content to distribution points:
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Operating System Upgrade Packages, and then select the **Windows 10 Enterprise – Version 1607** software upgrade package.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Deployment group**, click **Distribute Content**.
-
-3. In the Distribute Content Wizard, on the **General** page, click **Next**.
-
-4. On the **Content Destination** page, click **Add**, and then click **Distribution Point**.
-
-5. In the **Add Distribution Points** dialog box, select the distribution point that will serve the clients receiving this package, and then click **OK**.
-
-6. On the **Content Destination** page, click **Next**.
-
-7. On the **Summary** page, click **Next** to distribute the content to the selected distribution point.
-
-8. On the **Completion** page, click **Close**.
-
-Now that the upgrade package has been created and its contents distributed, create the task sequence that will use it. Complete the following steps to create the task sequence, using the previously created deployment package:
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Task Sequences.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Create** group, click **Create Task Sequence**.
-
-3. In the Create Task Sequence Wizard, on the **Create a new task sequence** page, select **Upgrade an operating system from upgrade package**, and then click **Next**.
-
-4. On the **Task Sequence Information** page, in **Task sequence name**, type **Upgrade Windows 10 Enterprise – Version 1607**, and then click **Next**.
-
-5. On the **Upgrade the Windows Operating system** page, click **Browse**, select the deployment package you created in the previous steps, and then click **OK**.
-
-6. Click **Next**.
-
-7. On the **Include Updates** page, select **Available for installation – All software updates**, and then click **Next**.
-
-8. On the **Install Applications** page, click **Next**.
-
-9. On the **Summary** page, click **Next** to create the task sequence.
-
-10. On the **Completion** page, click **Close**.
-
-With the task sequence created, you’re ready to deploy it. If you’re using this method to deploy most of your Windows 10 feature updates, you may want to create deployment rings to stage the deployment of this task sequence, with delays appropriate for the respective deployment ring. In this example, you deploy the task sequence to the **Ring 4 Broad business users collection**.
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->This process deploys a Windows 10 operating system feature update to the affected devices. If you’re testing, be sure to select the collection to which you deploy this task sequence carefully.
-
-**To deploy your task sequence**
-
-1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Software Library\Overview\Operating Systems\Task Sequences, and then select the **Upgrade Windows 10 Enterprise – Version 1607** task sequence.
-
-2. On the Ribbon, in the **Deployment** group, click **Deploy**.
-
-3. In the Deploy Software Wizard, on the **General** page, click **Browse**. Select the target collection, click **OK**, and then click **Next**.
-
-4. On the **Deployment Settings** page, for **purpose**, select **Required**, and then click **Next**.
-
-5. On the **Scheduling** page, select the **Schedule when this deployment will become available** check box (it sets the current time by default). For **Assignment schedule**, click **New**.
-
-6. In the **Assignment Schedule** dialog box, click **Schedule**.
-
-7. In the **Custom Schedule** dialog box, select the desired deadline, and then click **OK**.
-
-8. In the **Assignment Schedule** dialog box, click **OK**, and then click **Next**.
-
-9. On the **User Experience** page, in the **When the scheduled assignment time is reached, allow the following activities to be performed outside of the maintenance window** section, select **Software Installation** and **System restart** (if required to complete the installation), and then click **Next**.
-
-10. Use the defaults for the remaining settings.
-
-11. Click **Summary**, and then click **Next** to deploy the task sequence.
-
-12. Click **Close**.

-# 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. You can use a Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2013 Update 2 task sequence to completely automate the process.
-
-## Proof-of-concept environment
-
-For the purposes of this topic, we will use three machines: DC01, MDT01, and PC0001. DC01 is a domain controller and MDT01 is a Windows Server 2012 R2 standard machine, fully patched with the latest security updates, and configured as a member server in the fictional contoso.com domain. PC0001 is a machine with Windows 7 SP1, targeted for the Windows 10 upgrade. For more details on the setup for this topic, please see [Deploy Windows 10 with the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit](../deploy-windows-mdt/deploy-windows-10-with-the-microsoft-deployment-toolkit.md).
-
-
-
-Figure 1. The machines used in this topic.
-
-## Set up the upgrade task sequence
-
-MDT adds support for Windows 10 deployment, including a new in-place upgrade task sequence template that makes the process really simple.
-
-## Create the MDT production deployment share
-
-The steps to create the deployment share for production are the same as when you created the deployment share to create the custom reference image:
-
-1. On MDT01, log on as Administrator in the CONTOSO domain with a password of P@ssw0rd.
-2. Using the Deployment Workbench, right-click **Deployment Shares** and select **New Deployment Share**.
-3. On the **Path** page, in the **Deployment share path** text box, type **E:\\MDTProduction**, and then click **Next**.
-4. On the **Share** page, in the **Share name** text box, type **MDTProduction$**, and then click **Next**.
-5. On the **Descriptive Name** page, in the **Deployment share** description text box, type **MDT Production**, and then click **Next**.
-6. On the **Options** page, accept the default settings and click **Next** twice, and then click **Finish**.
-7. Using File Explorer, verify that you can access the **\\\\MDT01\\MDTProduction$** share.
-
-## Add Windows 10 Enterprise x64 (full source)
-
-In these steps we assume that you have copied the content of a Windows 10 Enterprise x64 ISO to the E:\\Downloads\\Windows 10 Enterprise x64 folder.
-
-1. Using the Deployment Workbench, expand the **Deployment Shares** node, and then expand **MDT Production**.
-2. Right-click the **Operating Systems** node, and create a new folder named **Windows 10**.
-3. 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: E:\\Downloads\\Windows 10 Enterprise x64
- - Destination directory name: W10EX64RTM
-4. After you add the operating system, in the **Operating Systems / Windows 10** folder, double-click the added operating system name in the **Operating System** node and change the name to the following: **Windows 10 Enterprise x64 RTM Default Image**
-
-
-
-Figure 2. The imported Windows 10 operating system after you rename it.
-
-## Create a task sequence to upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise
-
-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
- - Full Name: Contoso
- - Organization: Contoso
- - Internet Explorer home page: about:blank
- - Admin Password: Do not specify an Administrator Password at this time
-
-
-
-Figure 3. The task sequence to upgrade to Windows 10.
-
-## Perform the Windows 10 upgrade
-
-To initiate the in-place upgrade, perform the following steps on PC0003 (currently running Windows 7 SP1).
-
-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**.
-
- 
-
- Figure 4. Upgrade task sequence.
-
-3. On the **Credentials** tab, specify the **MDT\_BA** account, P@ssw0rd password, and **CONTOSO** for the domain. (Some or all of these values can be specified in Bootstrap.ini so they are automatically populated.)
-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.

+## Troubleshooting Autopilot Device Import
+
+### Clicking Import after selecting CSV does nothing, '400' error appears in network trace with error body **"Cannot convert the literal '[DEVICEHASH]' to the expected type 'Edm.Binary'"**
+
+This error points to the device hash being incorrectly formatted. This could be caused by anything that corrupts the collected hash, but one possibility is that the hash itself, even if completely valid, fails to be decoded.
+
+The device hash is Base64. At the device level, it's encoded as unpadded Base64, but Autopilot expects padded Base64. In most cases, it seems the payload lines up to not require padding, so the process works, but sometimes it doesn't line up cleanly and padding is necessary. This is when you get the error above. Powershell's Base64 decoder also expects padded Base64, so we can use that to validate that the hash is properly padded.
+
+The "A" characters at the end of the hash are effectively empty data - Each character in Base64 is 6 bits, A in Base64 is 6 bits equal to 0. Deleting or adding "A"s at the end doesn't change the actual payload data.
+
+To fix this, we'll need to modify the hash, then test the new value, until powershell succeeds in decoding the hash. The result is mostly illegible, this is fine - we're just looking for it to not throw the error "Invalid length for a Base-64 char array or string".
+
+To test the base64, you can use the following:
+```powershell
+[System.Text.Encoding]::ascii.getstring( [System.Convert]::FromBase64String("DEVICE HASH"))
+```
+
+So, as an example (this is not a device hash, but it's misaligned unpadded Base64 so it's good for testing):
+```powershell
+[System.Text.Encoding]::ascii.getstring( [System.Convert]::FromBase64String("Q29udG9zbwAAA"))
+```
+
+Now for the padding rules. The padding character is "=". The padding character can only be at the end of the hash, and there can only be a maximum of 2 padding characters. Here's the basic logic.
+
+- Does decoding the hash fail?
+ - Yes: Are the last two characters "="?
+ - Yes: Replace both "=" with a single "A" character, then try again
+ - No: Add another "=" character at the end, then try again
+ - No: That hash is valid
+
+Looping the logic above on the previous example hash, we get the following permutations:
+- Q29udG9zbwAAA
+- Q29udG9zbwAAA=
+- Q29udG9zbwAAA==
+- Q29udG9zbwAAAA
+- Q29udG9zbwAAAA=
+- **Q29udG9zbwAAAA==** (This one has valid padding)
+
+Replace the collected hash with this new padded hash then try to import again.
+
## Troubleshooting Autopilot OOBE issues
If the expected Autopilot behavior does not occur during the out-of-box experience (OOBE), it is useful to see whether the device received an Autopilot profile and what settings that profile contained. Depending on the Windows 10 release, there are different mechanisms available to do that.

## To what extent are tests representative of protection in the real world?
-Independent security industry tests aim to evaluate the best antivirus and security products in an unbiased manner. However, it is important to remember that Microsoft sees a wider and broader set of threats beyond what’s tested in the evaluations highlighted in this topic. For example, in an average month Microsoft's security products identify over 100 million new threats. Even if an independent tester can acquire and test 1% of those threats, that is a million tests across 20 or 30 products. In other words, the vastness of the malware landscape makes it extremely difficult to evaluate the quality of protection against real world threats.

The capabilities within Microsoft Defender ATP provide [additional layers of protection](https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2017/12/11/detonating-a-bad-rabbit-windows-defender-antivirus-and-layered-machine-learning-defenses) that are not factored into industry antivirus tests, and address some of the latest and most sophisticated threats. Isolating AV from the rest of Microsoft Defender ATP creates a partial picture of how Microsoft's security stack operates in the real world. For example, attack surface reduction and endpoint detection & response capabilities can help prevent malware from getting onto devices in the first place. We have proven that [Microsoft Defender ATP components catch samples](https://query.prod.cms.rt.microsoft.com/cms/api/am/binary/RE2ouJA) that Windows Defender Antivirus missed in these industry tests, which is more representative of how effectively Microsoft's security suite protects customers in the real world.

Threat & Vulnerability Management introduces a new exposure score metric, which visually represents how exposed your machines are to imminent threats.
The exposure score is continuously calculated on each device in the organization and influenced by the following factors:

- Weaknesses, such as vulnerabilities discovered on the device
- External and internal threats such as public exploit code and security alerts
- Likelihood of the device to get breached given its current security posture
- Value of the device to the organization given its role and content

+# Better together: Windows Defender Antivirus and Office 365
+
+**Applies to:**
+
+- Windows Defender Antivirus
+- Office 365
+
+You might already know that:
+
+- **Windows Defender Antivirus protects your Windows 10 device from software threats, such as viruses, malware, and spyware**. Windows Defender Antivirus is your complete, ongoing protection, built into Windows 10 and ready to go. [Windows Defender Antivirus is your next-generation protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/windows-defender-antivirus-in-windows-10).
+
+- **Office 365 includes antiphishing, antispam, and antimalware protection**. With your Office 365 subscription, you get premium email and calendars, Office apps, 1 TB of cloud storage (via OneDrive), and advanced security across all your devices. This is true for home and business users. And if you're a business user, and your organization is using Office 365 E5, you get even more protection through Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection. [Protect against threats with Office 365](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/protect-against-threats).
+
+- **OneDrive, included in Office 365, enables you to store your files and folders online, and share them as you see fit**. You can work together with people (for work or fun), and coauthor files that are stored in OneDrive. You can also access your files across all your devices (your PC, phone, and tablet). [Manage sharing in OneDrive](https://docs.microsoft.com/OneDrive/manage-sharing).
+
+**But did you know there are good security reasons to use Windows Defender Antivirus together with Office 365**? Here are two:
+
+ 1. [You get ransomware protection and recovery](#ransomware-protection-and-recovery).
+
+ 2. [Integration means better protection](#integration-means-better-protection).
+
+Read the following sections to learn more.
+
+## Ransomware protection and recovery
+
+When you save your files to [OneDrive](https://docs.microsoft.com/onedrive), and [Windows Defender Antivirus](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/windows-defender-antivirus-in-windows-10) detects a ransomware threat on your device, the following things occur:
+
+1. **You are told about the threat**. (If your organization is using [Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection) (ATP), your security operations team is notified, too.)
+
+2. **Windows Defender Antivirus helps you (and your organization's security team) remove the ransomware** from your device(s). (If your organization is using Microsoft Defender ATP, your security operations team can determine whether other devices are infected and take appropriate action, too.)
+
+3. **You get the option to recover your files in OneDrive**. With the OneDrive Files Restore feature, you can recover your files in OneDrive to the state they were in before the ransomware attack occurred. See [Ransomware detection and recovering your files](https://support.office.com/article/0d90ec50-6bfd-40f4-acc7-b8c12c73637f).
+
+Think of the time and hassle this can save.
+
+## Integration means better protection
+
+Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection integrated with Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection means better protection for your organization. Here's how:
+
+- [Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/office-365-atp) safeguards your organization against malicious threats posed in email messages, email attachments, and links (URLs) in Office documents.
+
+ AND
+
+- [Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection) protects your devices from cyber threats, detects advanced attacks and data breaches, automates security incidents, and improves your security posture.
+
+ SO
+
+- Once integration is enabled, your security operations team can see a list of devices that are used by the recipients of any detected URLs or email messages, along with recent alerts for those devices, in the Microsoft Defender Security Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)).
+
+If you haven't already done so, [integrate Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection with Microsoft Defender ATP](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/integrate-office-365-ti-with-wdatp).
+
+## More good reasons to use OneDrive
+
+Protection from ransomware is one great reason to put your files in OneDrive. And there are several more good reasons, summarized in this video:
