You plan to deploy Windows 11 Pro to 200 new computers by using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and Windows Deployment Services (WDS).
The company has a Volume Licensing Agreement and uses a product key to activate Windows 11.
You need to ensure that the new computers will be configured to have the correct product key during the installation.
What should you configure?

Yeah, I agree, MDT is the way to go!

Wait, are we sure MDT is the only option here?

I thought WDS boot images could do that too?

Definitely A, it’s the best way to handle product keys.

You need to configure an MDT task sequence for that.

I don't think Azure AD settings or Autopilot profiles are relevant here since we’re focusing on MDT and WDS for deployment.

I’m a bit confused about whether the WDS boot image could also play a role in this process. Does it handle product keys?

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to set up activation keys, and I think it was about using the task sequence as well.

I think we need to configure an MDT task sequence to specify the product key during installation, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only step needed.

Windows Autopilot is more for pre-configured device deployment, so that's not the best fit for this scenario. I'm leaning towards the MDT task sequence.

A WDS boot image wouldn't have the product key information, so that's not the right choice. I think I'll go with the MDT task sequence.

Hmm, I'm not sure if the Device settings in Azure AD would be the right approach here. I'll need to double-check the details on that option.

This seems straightforward - I'd configure the MDT task sequence to include the product key during the Windows 11 deployment.

This looks like a straightforward question about reinforcement schedules. I'm pretty confident I can figure this out.

Okay, I got this. To test the static route, I would use the "ping 3.3.3.1" command. That should verify that the next-hop address is reachable.

I'm not sure. I think the MDT task sequence is more commonly used for this purpose and is considered more reliable.

But wouldn't configuring a WDS boot image also work to achieve the same result?

Yes, I agree. By configuring the MDT task sequence, we can ensure that the correct product key is applied during installation.

Hah, yeah, no thanks! I'd rather not spend my days hunched over a keyboard, punching in product keys. The MDT task sequence is definitely the way to go.

I'm just glad we don't have to deal with manually entering product keys on 200 computers. Can you imagine the headache that would cause?

Exactly, Samantha. We need a solution that specifically addresses the product key requirement, and the MDT task sequence is the best fit.
