TechNet Webcast: Microsoft Deployment Toolkit Advanced Scenarios (Level 300)

Overview

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit includes database integration that uses methods to automate multiple aspects of Windows Vista operating system deployment. The configuration database is a logical extension of the configuration settings that would normally exist in CustomSettings.ini. However, rather than configuring the CustomSettings.ini file, one can centrally store multiple values for settings in the database which is, in turn, referenced to retrieve the values for the properties stored in it. The specific values for those properties are then retrieved from the database at deployment time to customize the deployment without interaction.
