Dell EMC Server Deployment Pack for Microsoft System Center
Configuration Manager
Dell EMC server Deployment Pack uses OpenManage Deployment Toolkit (DTK) and PxE-based OS deployment to automate
bare-metal configuration and deployment of various Microsoft operating systems on PowerEdge servers across your network.
NOTE:
DTK is End of Life from Dell EMC. DTK is sustained for current and earlier supported platforms until those platforms
pass their end of support life (EOSL) threshold.
NOTE: Dell EMC Server Deployment Pack is on the End of Life path, we recommend you to immediately implement and
transition to Dell EMC OpenManage Integration for Microsoft System Center (OMIMSSC) for System Center Configuration
Manager (SCCM) and System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
