Windows 10 deployment training for system builders (some info cited from: www.dynamicsedge.com) is something that we believe has not been talked about very much, so we have prepared a presentation for this very purpose. The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit, a.k.a the ADK, is the groundwork for understanding Windows 10 Deployment automation in the days of Windows Server 2016. The ADK still does work in Windows Server 2016.This presentation goes into some of what could be essential for deployment administrators and system builders like yourself to understand if you are thinking about Windows 10 deployment in your network environment.
