M$ Express Deployment Tool

To help our system builder partners quickly, easily, and correctly deploy PCs with Windows 7, Office 2010, PC Essentials, and Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft has developed the Express Deployment Tool. ​
Speed Through Preinstallation and Deployment

The traditional OPKs for Windows and Office contain a wealth of technical information to address numerous scenarios; they are designed to meet the needs of the wide range of OEMs who build PCs. The Express Deployment Tool works with OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) tools to provide streamlined deployments of typical PC configurations.

The Express Deployment Tool (EDT) makes it easier to install software quickly, and create a consistent and customized end-user experience.

With its wizard-based interface and simplified process of preinstallation, the EDT is designed to help system builders realize all the benefits of the traditional OPK in a fraction of the time.

Using the EDT to set up the Reference PC takes approximately 1 - 2 hours. Once the Reference PC has been created, centralized deployment of any image onto new PCs takes less than 10 minutes.
