Coenie Posted September 21, 2012 Report post Posted September 21, 2012 As far as I've been able to see, is that it requires MDT to enable the functionality of installing Windows 8, and Server 2012. MDT also integrates with sp1 to a certain degree. Think of it as a supplement to WDS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

anyweb Posted September 21, 2012 Report post Posted September 21, 2012 you do not need MDT, you need up to three components from the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit all described in great detail here. The requirement for the ADK is in order to deploy Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. Side note: while you do not need MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit) it is a very useful addition to any Configuration Manager deployment.
