First look at MDT 2010 Beta 2
By Adam Bell | July 1, 2009
Michael has been firing out a lot posts about the new features of MDT 2010 recently, and as this is a tool I do quite a lot with I figured it was time to start playing :)
I have a test server with the Beta 1 MDT 2010 already installed. I wanted to see if any issues are encountered if I just installed over the top.
The installation process didn’t notify me of any previous version, but it selected the installation directory of the existing MDT. I let it install to the same location, and it completed without any errors.
The new and improved workbench.
I like the new shiny icons, but more importantly I like how I can organise things in folders :)
My existing MDT items were all still available, with the exception of the deployment share. Selecting to open an existing share and selecting the upgrade check box appears to have brought everything up to date.
Property page has been updated
One of my minor annoyances for a long time has been resolved. You can now tab through the fields, though you have to tab through both sides *grrr*.
From a PowerShell perspective a quick look reveals that we have one snapin to play with: microsoft.bdd.PSsnapin.
The PowerShell Snapin for MDT 2010
16 cmdlets are provided by the MDT snapin
I haven’t played with these yet, but they look to be promising.
