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 three computers: DC01, MDT01, and PC0001.

- DC01 is a domain controller for the contoso.com domain.
- MDT01 is a contoso.com domain member server.
- PC0001 is a Windows 10 Enterprise x64 client and also a contoso.com domain member.

## The reference image
The reference image described in this guide is designed primarily for deployment to physical devices. However, the reference image is typically 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.

### Configure permissions for the deployment share
In order to write the reference image back to the deployment share, you need to assign Modify permissions to the MDT Build Account (MDT\_BA) for the **Captures** subfolder in the **D:\\MDTBuildLab** folder
1. On MDT01, sign in as **CONTOSO\\admin**.
On **MDT01**:

## Add applications
Before you create an MDT task sequence, you need to add any applications and scripts you wish to install to the MDT Build Lab share.
On **MDT01**:
First, create an MDT folder to store the Microsoft applications that will be installed:
1. In the MDT Deployment Workbench, expand **Deployment Shares \\ MDT Build Lab \\ Applications**
