Integrating MDT database with SCCM CB

[Johnny_Eyebrows]

Hi all -

Having had a number of stutters in getting our upgrade started, I am finally getting the chance to begin the rollout of win10 across our site. However, there is a small query. For a small number of machines on our site, we have some uncommon licenced products, not related to particular departments or areas (eg MS Project, MS Visio, Adobe Writer, etc). To aid with updating these machines, I am going to use SCCM/MDT's Application mapping feature. However, though I have got MDT installed and am using it to aid creation of the upgrade sequences, I have seen that there is no MDT database, and thus no Application Mapping table. Is it better to create an entirely new database for MDT, and link to it via the settings file, or can you use the 'Create (or recreate) the tables and views in an existing database' option and add the tables into the existing SCCM database?
