For who 

IT-pros and administrators that wants to build real world deployment and management solutions using ConfigMgr and MDT.

Pre knowledge requirements
Windows deployment experience, sysprep, imaging, and drivers. Basic understanding of Active Directory, and Software Distribution using ConfigMgr. Scripting experience (VBScript, PowerShell) is helpful but not a requirement.

What you learn 

Over 60 percent of the time you spend in class is dedicated to hands-on-labs and exercises, based on self-perceived real-life scenarios and methods verified to work in production environments. And the best part, you get access to all the sample files and scripts, including a solution that will build up the complete lab environment once returned home from the training.
In this training you learn to build and customize rock solid deployment solutions using:

• System Center Configuration Manager CB (current build)
• Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)

You get a thorough walk-trough of current version ConfigMgr, as well as deep technical drilldown to changes in the Windows 10 platform. After this training you will be able to install and customize modern deployment and management solutions based on ConfigMgr and MDT.
