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:
If first step you need to download MDT http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25175
Install MDT on your SCCM server boxaccept the EULA
Join CEIP if you like
Once you completed the installation I would recommend you to complete MDT configuring before integration with the SCCM. Start the Deployment Workbenchinstall updatesyou will need to download and install WAIKcreate new deployment shareleave default values
Create MDT databaseMake sure you will create separate database, DO NOT use existing SCCM DB
