No sooner than Mastering Hyper-V Deployment is done, I’m working on Mastering Windows 7 Deployment. I’m contributing 6 chapters to this one and I’m half way through writing the draft editions. This book is providing all the steps and all the methods to do a Windows 7 deployment project using the MS product set. I don’t know what the schedule is at the moment. I’d suspect early next year will be the RTM.
Aidan,
Just wanted to say a huge thank-you for posting your ‘Deplying Windows 7 with MDT 2010’ PDF (https://aidanfinn2.wpcomstaging.com/downloads/DeployingWindows7withMDT2010.pdf). I’d been using RIS to deploy Windows XP for years, and when we finally decided to start deploying Windows 7, I was completely lost. After trudging through troves of poorly-written WDS and MDT guides, yours was the first I found that took the approach of, “You’re new to MDT. Here’s how to do it, with lots of explanation.” Exactly what I needed. Now that I’ve read through your guide and spent lots of time exploring and learning MDT, I’m very comfortable working with it and have just capped off our first mass-deployment of Windows 7, which went smoothly.
Huge, huge thanks for publishing that guide. I was nearly at wit’s end before reading it.
