    Greetings,

    Server: MDT 2012 Update 1 on Server 2008 R2 x64.

    Clients: Deploying Windows XP to Windows 7

    Question: Which Windows AIK version to use.  Version 1.0 / 2.0 / 3.0

    Unter the "Components" it lists for Avail for download

    Windows Automated Installation Kit (x64) 6.1.7600.16385 which is version 2.0 from looking at my production server.

    I can't download from here anyway so when I looked to download AIK I see Version 3.0 for "Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7"  I also found the "Windows Automated Installation Kit Supplement for Windows 7"

    Should I install 3.0, then the supplement, then copy USMT3 for XP Refreshes.  (That's what I've done now anyway for USMT3 and XP though I don't know if the new WAIK 3.0 will not support something else I need with Windows XP New Installs and Refreshes

    Best Regards,

    I assume you mean Clients: Migrating Windows XP to Windows 7

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5753

    Mount the ISO and install, it will take care of all the rest of the prerequisites run Windows update on your system as well.

    So my new server I have WAIK 3.0 installed even though it still pulls 2.0.0 in the Programs and Features list.

    I copied over the Supplement files to the Windows AIK\Tools\PETools folder and overwrote them.

    So I do that then I see the Windows Assessment and Deployment Toolkit with PE 4.0 among other features.

    Would this be recommended to install Windows ADK if I am primarilly going to deploy Windows XP and Windows 7?

    I am not sure what you are copying over what, however when I deploy W7 I run it with MDT 2012 / WAIK 3.0, never needed anything else. 

    I have not worked with the new ADK yet, so no comments here.
