It is possible to automate nearly everything in Windows with PowerShell but when it comes to automating the deployment of Windows itself you are tied to some other tools. There are plenty out there: Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, RES, AppSense, Empirum from Matrix42 and so on. They&rsquo;re probably good tools for a production environment but not for a lab: too complicated, too slow, too big. For my lab I prefer Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), it is very lightweight and it is fast - particularly when you compare it to its big brother Configuration Manager. In this post I describe how to automate the installation of MDT and Windows Deployment Services (WDS) to do PXE boot. On top there is a description on how to integrate Chocolatey into MDT.</p>
