I need to begin planning for an eventual Vista deployment and would like to
begin re-engineering the deployment infrastucture that we have using MDT
(which I can use to maintain our current XP environment as well). Ideally, I
would want to have a dedicated deployment server with MDT installed seperate
from our existing SMS 2003 site server so I can begin experimenting with Lite
Touch with the option to convert to Zero Touch down the line. My question is
this: is there any way to integtate a seperate dedicated MDT "deployment
server" with an SMS 2003 site server for Zero-Touch or does MDT and SMS (with
OSD Feature Pack) need to reside on the same physical server in order to Zero
Touch to work properly?
