Welcome to PowerShell Deployment (PSD)

Target audience

• Infrastructure Architects
• Solution Architects

The purpose of PowerShell Deployment for MDT is to create a new deployment solution that provides the same level of automation as MDT but built on a more modern framework - PowerShell. The major components and functionality are built on PowerShell alone, but still leverage the MDT Workbench and layout. The goal is to support deployment shares using PSD extensions as well as legacy MDT deployment shares.

Supported deployment scenarios include deployment from the following content repositories:

• IIS over HTTPS using WebClient (Native PS)
• IIS over HTTPS with BITS & BranchCache using 2Pint Software's OSD Toolkit

PSD is very much a work-in-progress solution, so stay tuned as we rapidly move forward on this.
