Introduction

The Dell™ OpenManage™ Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of
utilities for configuring and deploying Dell systems. The DTK is designed
for customers who need to build scripted installations to deploy large
numbers of systems in a reliable fashion without having to dramatically
change their current deployment processes.
In addition to the command line utilities used to configure various system
features, the DTK also provides sample scripts and configuration files to
perform common deployment tasks and documentation. These files and
scripts describe the use of DTK in Microsoft
Environment (Windows PE) and embedded Linux environments.
The benefits of the DTK:
• Provides the tools necessary to automate the pre-operating system
configuration tasks and the unattended operating system installation tasks
when deploying Dell systems.
• Scales to support from one to many system deployment efforts.
• Facilitates consistent system configurations across multiple systems.
• Provides diverse and useful deployment tools that can be utilized in many
different ways.
