The document discusses various approaches and tools for automating the installation and deployment of Windows 7, including traditional and modular imaging approaches. It describes Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 (MDT) as the recommended toolset for automating desktop and server deployment. MDT provides a centralized console for managing tools like Windows Imaging (WIM), Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM), and Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) to configure, capture, and deploy Windows 7 images. MDT supports both lite touch and zero touch installation deployment scenarios with different infrastructure requirements.
