I was doing some research for work today when I came across a solution from Microsoft that I\u2019ve never heard of before.\u00a0 Zero Touch Provisioning<\/a> appears to be a subscription based deployment method that sits on top of SMS 2003 SP1 or above.\u00a0 It\u2019s part of the BDD so documentation is abundant but useless (lots of blurb, circular references and little substance) as we\u2019ve come to expect from BDD.\u00a0 However, based on the little info on this site, this appears to be quite intruiging!<\/span><\/font>\n<\/p>\n

EDIT:\n<\/p>\n

After beating the mouse a bit, I’ve managed to find the following:\n<\/p>\n

Solution Accelerator for BDD includes the following ZTP services as sample tasks that can be automated:<\/em>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Upgrade a computer to Windows XP<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It appears that ZTP uses Biztalk and Sharepoint to integrate deployment solutions and to provide a "friendly" interface to allow delegation of the above tasks.\u00a0 This sounds quite interesting!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
