SapphireIMS is integrated with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) and Windows Deployment Services (WDS) to centrally administer and automate the task of deploying the OS and applications remotely. WDS enables you to deploy Windows operating systems over the network. MDT provides a unified collection of tools, processes, and guidance for automating desktop and server deployments including OS, applications and drivers. In addition MDT allows completely automated configuration of clients, can deploy and capture images and create customized installations. MDT internally uses the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK).
