Creating a Deployment Share
The main user interface in MDT is the Deployment Workbench, which is where you will create task sequences and lists
of actions that MDT will perform. Sequences provide the workflow for deployment. They define when and how to
perform the various tasks required to produce the desired Windows environment. When they are run they pass the
instructions to perform these tasks to the independent components and tools that perform the actions, such as the
MDT scripts or tools from the Windows ADK. More information on Task Sequences can be found in the
Microsoft
Deployment Toolkit section in Chapter 2 .
The MDT deployment workbench is comprised of two sections:

Information Center – Contains help documentation and lists installed and available components. This example
scenario does not use the information center.
Caution: The list of installed and available components may be shown for older operating systems, so use with
caution.

Deployment Shares – Contains a list of all the deployment shares and sub-folders. By default, there will be no
deployment shares listed. Right-click the Deployment Shares folder and click New Deployment Share. This
brings up the New Deployment Share Wizard, as shown in Figure 3.12.
