Building a Common HP Desktop Software Image
Using Microsoft
®
Deployment Toolkit (MDT)
While this document specifically mentions building a
Microsoft
®
Windows
®
7 Professional 64-bit common
image for the HP Compaq 8200 Elite PC and HP Z210
Workstation families, this same document can be utilized
for different operating systems and HP target systems. If
used for different HP target systems, it is critical to ensure
the corresponding supported drivers for those specific
systems have been downloaded.
Before you begin
Before starting this process, note the following:
• While deploying a common image can be extremely
advantageous, it causes a shift in the support liability
from HP back to the organization deploying/creating
the common image. It is the responsibility of the
organization to qualify the image before deployment.
• It is very important to be aware of the Microsoft
Windows operating system licensing requirements.
Contact your Microsoft licensing representative for the
proper licensing requirements.
•
It is assumed that your IT organization has done the
necessary research and planning for the creation and
deployment of a common image. This document serves as a
guideline to facilitate the deployment of a common image.

Introduction
The goal of this document is to guide the IT professional
through the process of creating and deploying a
common HP Desktop software image utilizing Microsoft
®
Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and LiteTouch Installation
(LTI).The advantages of using MDT to deploy operating
systems over creating a common image on a single
system for multiple system families is the ability to use
specific drivers or applications which were tested for
each individual target system. Deploying a driver which
was not tested on a target system introduces unnecessary
increased risk. MDT allows the user to ensure the
correct, proven, and tested drivers are installed on each
appropriate destination system.
