This document discusses tools and methods for streamlining Windows 7 deployment, including DISM for modifying and managing Windows images, WDS for automating deployment, and MDT for reducing deployment time and standardizing images. It provides an overview of how DISM can be used for image preparation, maintenance, and installation. WDS is described as reducing complexity and costs by enabling OS image download, boot image distribution, and offline servicing via PXE boot. Dynamic driver provisioning through WDS is also highlighted. The document concludes with a session summary and links for further learning about Windows 7 deployment options.
