It also discusses the technologies that you use to implement these solutions, including the MDT and Configuration Manager.Audience profileThis 3-day intensive boot-camp is for IT professionals who deploy, manage, and maintain PCs, devices, and apps across medium, large, and enterprise organizations.Typically, this course’s audience has a desktop-support background, and have worked as Enterprise Desktop Administrators. A significant portion of this audience uses or intends to use Configuration Manager to manage and deploy PCs, devices, and enterprise applications.The Enterprise Desktop Administrator also might use several tools, including the Windows ADK and the MDT to support assessment, operating system, and application deployment tasks. Additionally, this course is for individuals who are interested in taking the MCSE exam 70-695: Deploying Windows Desktops and Enterprise Applications.
