Is there any reason this should not work when deploying to a remote system when PXE booting is not available?
Seems like you should be able to make an ISO image of the MDT Lite Touch ISO or even the entire deployment media with operating system wim files on an ISO, save the ISO on a network share and then redirect the booting of the remote PC to your ISO file.
Has anyone seen this work?
