Geeks Guide to BDD 2007– Part 3, Using Zero Touch to

deploy Windows Vista

Welcome
BDD 2007, as you probably already know, is End-to-end guidance, best practices, and tools for
planning, building, and deploying Windows and Office. BDD 2007 is developed by a team led by
Michael Niehaus (lead developer) and Mike Lewis (Architect).
This guide explains the steps necessary to configure BDD 2007 Zero Touch. It assumes that you
have set up the BDD 2007 deployment server as described in “Geeks Guide to BDD 2007 – Part
1, Core Configuration”.
For improvement suggestions (or bugs) in this guide, please drop a note to johan [dot] arwidmark
