There are two maybe not competitive but parallel products: Microsoft Deployment Toolkit and System Center Configuration manager. Few years ago I was wondering why they are separate, I why I cannot share Task Sequences between them. And how it usually happens in live, when I was focused on other technologies, MDT and SCCM became best friends.

Let's integrate MDT with SCCM:

1. If first step you need to download MDT http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25175
2. Install MDT on your SCCM server box
   
   
   accept the EULA
   
   
   

   Join CEIP if you like
   
   

    

3. Once you completed the installation I would recommend you to complete MDT configuring before integration with the SCCM. Start the Deployment Workbench
   
   
   install updates
   
   
   
   you will need to download and install WAIK
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   create new deployment share
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   leave default values
   
   
   
4. Create MDT database
   
   
   
   
   
   Make sure you will create separate database, DO NOT use existing SCCM DB
   
   
   
   
   
5. Now we are ready to integrate MDT with SCCM
   
   
   the Integration tool should discover your server automatically
   
   
   
   
   After reopening SCCM console in task sequences you should have new cool features:
   
   
   

   
   How to use them? That's another story …
