You can download the latest version of Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). This version (build 6.3.8450.1000) requires the Windows 10 1709 ADK build.
What is Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT)?
The Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) is a free tool for automating Windows and Windows Server operating system deployment, leveraging the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10.
The following information is copied from the MDT deployment Workbench. The Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) provides a unified collection of tools, processes, and guidance for automating desktop and server deployments.
In addition to reducing deployment time and standardizing desktop and server images, MDT offers improved security and ongoing configuration management.
MDT supports deploying Windows 10 through Windows 7 and the associated server and embedded operating systems.
Features such as Windows 10 in-place upgrade, flexible driver management, optimized user interface workflow, and Windows PowerShell scripting can simplify deployment and simplify your job. Deploy faster and easier with MDT.
For example, if your organization doesn’t have an SCCM infra to perform OS deployments, you can use MDT.
MDT Requirements and Prerequisites
Following are the supported OS to install the latest version of MDT. It can be installed on the client’s OS versions of Windows. Other Requirements of MDT are Windows ADK for Windows 10, version 1709 or later, which is required for all deployment scenarios.
| MDT Requirements and Prerequisites |
|---|
| Windows 10 |
| Windows 7 |
| Windows 8 |
| Windows 8.1 |
| Windows Server 2008 R2 |
| Windows Server 2012 |
| Windows Server 2012 R2 |
| Windows Server 2016 |
SCCM version 1710 or later is required for zero-touch installation (ZTI) and user-driven installation (UDI) scenarios.
When using ZTI and/or UDI, you can add the MDT SQL database to any version of SCCM with SQL Technology; if you are using LTI, you must use a separately licensed SQL Server product to host your MDT SQL database.

HI – Thanks for the update.

Thanks

I think, yes. Because SCCM 1710 is listed in the configuration details of this release of MDT.
Hi, Thank you.
Can we integrate MDT 8450 build to SCCM CB 1802?
