Windows 8.1 Deployment In Action: Introduction (Part 1)
Good day everyone! In our recent set of IT camps we talked about Windows 8.1 in the enterprise, one of the topics we discussed was deployment technologies. So I decided to put together a series of screencasts to talk about deploying Windows 8.1. More importantly throughout these screencasts all the tools I will show are FREE or built-in to Windows Server 2012 R2.
In this part I take a quick tour of deployment technologies and tools. You will also see a full deployment in action. Enjoy!

- Microsoft Deployment Tool Kit (MDT) 2013: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40796
- Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (WADK) for Windows 8.1: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39982
- My peers in Canada did an excellent series on Deployment, Part 1 of their series is very good take a look here: https://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2014/03/18/windows-8-1-deployment-from-the-ground-up.aspx
I hope you enjoyed the screencast, if you have any comments or suggested topics just let me know!
