Hello,
We are using Microsoft Deployment Tookit (MDT) and Windows Deployment Services (WDS) to deploy Microsoft operating systems, and I would like to know if there is any way to integrate an ESXi image into those deployment systems, or SCCM
I know you can deploy ESX/ESXi from a pre-configured PXE linux solution, but this not really what we are looking for, we would prefer to stick with our deployment solution.
Has anyone encountered this situation ?
Thanks !
I know this was almost a year ago but did you get ESXi deploying via MDT working?
not that long, just 1 month ago. i'm too keen to know.
I haven't read it yet, but this eBook from Xtravirt claims to have a documented solution for this.

This e-book discusses scripted builds for VMware ESX Server 3 & 4, including optional usage of Microsoft WDS server to deploy a scripted ESX build using PXE boot.
