What’s New in Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2012?  

The next version of the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) will be released soon! Learn about all the new features and enhancements in this version, including support for Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager; the ability to deploy to UEFI computers; integration with the DaRT tools; and much more.

 Introducing the Application Approval Workflow solution accelerator

In System Center 2012, the Configuration Manager application catalog provides the ability to require administrative approval for new application requests.  In this session, we’ll explore how the Application Approval Workflow solution accelerator can be used to process these requests, delegating approvals to the appropriate people.

 Inside a Configuration Manager 2012 Task Sequence 

In this session, we demonstrate the inner workings of a task sequence, showing the various steps in the process, how information is passed to and between each step, what the steps do, and how to troubleshoot when things don’t go as expected.
