We are currently deploying SCCM 2012 R2 and probably MDT 2013. We are migrating from a non-SCCM environment.
So after some reading I still have plenty of questions I hope someone could help me out with:
1. The MDT 2013 documentation "Quick Start Guide for System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager" makes no mention whatsoever of the MDT database, which appears to be an important feature of standalone MDT. Is configuration of this DB recommended/desired for SCCM integrated environments?
2. Beyond deployment monitoring, are there any features that I would need to configure through MDT Deployment Workbench in an SCCM-integrated environment?
3. Are only ZTI and UDI install methods available in an SCCM-integrated environment? Is LTI standalone-MDT-only?
4. Can MDT and the Console Extensions be installed on any site system? It is not required to be on the site server itself is it? I realize the console extensions require the console, but am curious if there are any other requirements for installation. I was thinking of installing MDT on a dedicated site system server for a little broader access to the deployment monitoring features for junior admins. This system could also have http (we use https elsewhere) MP and DP roles to make build and capture a little easier. Does that sound like a reasonable idea?
Thanks very much for any help.
