So I'm currently playing with MDT 2010 and WDS in an attempt to find a better deployment solution for our network. We currently use altirs, but we do not have control over the servers, and the people who run it are on a old version that does not fully support windows 7 yet. We have machines in the ceiling that we need to get imaged, Is it possible to make a fully unattended (ZTI) install with just MDT 2010 and WDS? It seems like the only hurdle is forcing the machines to automatically boot from PXE, without touching them. Everything else unattended seems to be completely doable at this point. Thoughts?

Absolutely. This is completely different, and the right way to do it with an SCCM environment.

I was more referring to The Onion's specific situation, where it didn't sound like he had such access.

If I were using SCMM this is how I would do it. But it doesn't look like we are even getting a shot at buying that, So I'm currently stuck with MDT and WDS for now. I'm just going to work with this setup and lock down the bios of the machines so I don't run into the random person nuking their machine scenario. Thanks for the advice guys.
