From TechNet blog:
MDT 2013 Update 2 is primarily a quality release; there are no new major features. The following is a summary of the significant changes in this update:
- Security- and cryptographic-related improvements:
- Relaxed permissions on newly created deployment shares (still secure by default, but now also functional by default)
- Creating deployment shares via Windows PowerShell adds same default permissions
- Updated hash algorithm usage from SHA1 to SHA256
- Includes the latest Configuration Manager task sequence binaries
- Enhanced user experience for Windows 10 in-place upgrade task sequence
- Enhanced split WIM functionality
- Fixed OSDJoinAccount account usage in UDI scenario
- Fixed issues with installation of Windows 10 language packs
- Various accessibility improvements
- Monitoring correctly displays progress for all scenarios including upgrade
- Improvements to smsts.log verbosity
First you need to download the new MDT
Then you need to uninstall the old MDT from Control panel – Uninstall a program
Click Uninstall
Click Yes
Click Yes in the UAC dialog and let the uninstall complete
Now Install the new MDT 2013 Update 2
Use the x64 MSI
Click Next
Click “I accept the terms in the License Agreement”
Click Next
Click Next
Click Next
Click Install
Click Yes in the UAC dialog
Click Finish
Start the Deployment Workbench
Click Yes in the UAC dialog
Now you can see that the deployment share does not match the version of the new MDT 2013 Update 2
Right click and “Upgrade Deployment share”
Click Next
Click Finish
You can also do this from PowerShell:
Import-Module “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\bin\MicrosoftDeploymentToolkit.psd1”
new-PSDrive -Name “DS002” -PSProvider “MDTProvider” -Root “d:\DeploymentPROD” -Description “MDT Deployment Share” -Force -Verbose | add-MDTPersistentDrive -Verbose
And now the deployment share are ready to use
Hi,
Just to make sure can we still deploy Windows 7 alongside Windows 10 after this upgrade?
Thanks
Yes – you can stille deploy Windows 7 with MDT 2013 Update 2
Hi,
I wanted to create a Standard Client Upgrade Task Sequence after the update, but I can’t choose an operating system in the next step. All other (expect the Server Upgrade / Client Upgrade) work properly.
Any idea?
Thanks!
I have upgraded my deployment shares and it was all good. However, when I am trying to install the OS using new Media.iso (created by using update media content option) or running Lite Touch VBS scripts from the deployment share, it fails.
Do I need to upgrade the deployment share once more using the regenerate boot image option?
Hi
Yes you need to upgrade your Boot image.
Kind regards
Per Larsen
Then it would be kind if you stated that in the guide. The guide could be written like: uninstall old, install new, upgrade deployment shares, update deployment shares, replace wim and ISO:s.
