– MDT Application Mapping– UDI Application Mapping

• Demo City! • Q&A

Agenda

Boot Images

• Only add the drivers you NEED• NEED = Test, Test, Test• The more drivers you add, the longer the

boot time is• Adding unnecessary drivers can increase

the WIM size by 5-20%• ConfigMgr increases the WinPE image by

roughly 9% alone

Boot Images

Boot Images

Jeopardy theme starts playing in your head…

• DEMOS

Boot Images

• Process of automatically installing/upgrading applications that were previously installed

• All methods use a detection method or some sort

Application Mapping

• Has been part of MDT/BDD for many iterations, most people just didn’t know it was there! (Easter egg?)

• Using ConfigMgr inventory database in combination with a mapping table

• Ability to upgrade older versions of applications automatically

Application Mapping - MDT

• When we run the TS on client machine:– ZTIGather processes customsettings.ini– PackageMapping creates Packages array– OS Installed (and a few other things)– “Install Software” step processes array and

installs packages

Application Mapping - MDT

• Introduced with MDT 2010 Update 1• Ability to create mappings based on

Product ID or ConfigMgr execution history• No link to existing hardware inventory• MDT 2012/UDI added mapping support for

the new Application Model

Application Mapping - UDI

• When we run the TS on client machine:– UDI preflight runs Application Discovery– Discovered items presented in wizard (based

on UDI configuration)– OS Installed (and a few other things)– “Install Software” step processes Packages– “Install Application” step processes

Applications

Application Mapping - UDI

• Gotcha’s– Licensed vs Unlicensed applications– Bare metal scenarios

• MDT VS UDI

– Unwanted installations– Don’t use both methods, pick one
