Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2008 is the successor to the Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) 2007 Toolkit. MDT unifies the tools and processes required for desktop and server deployment into a common deployment console and collection of guidance. This version (4.0) adds integration with recently released Microsoft deployment technologies to create a single path for image creation and automated installation. MDT’s tools and end-to-end guidance reduce deployment time, standardize desktop and server images, limit service disruptions, reduce post-deployment help desk costs, and improve security and ongoing configuration management.

The MDT update released on March 20, 2008 adds support for Vista Service Pack 1. Download this toolkit from Microsoft Downloads here.
