Using Windows PE with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit

MDT 2008 provides an infrastructure solution for automating the deployment of Windows Vista. Part of the infrastructure is the support for automatically customizing and building Windows PE images. You manage the actual process of building the Windows PE image files by using wizards and scripting, greatly simplifying the process of adding device drivers and packages, automating settings, and prepping and capturing the deployment image.

You use Deployment Workbench to manage most operations regarding the creation and deployment of Windows Vista images and applications. This scripted environment is able to dynamically update Windows PE as updates are made to the Windows Vista distribution.
