We are very pleased to announce the release of the Microsoft Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment v2.5 on Wednesday, August 10, 2005.
The Microsoft Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) delivers end-to-end guidance for efficient planning, building, testing, and deploying Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Office Professional 2003. BDD has been shown to reduce the cost of desktop deployment dramatically, from about $500-1000 cost per PC in the case of manual installation down to less than $100 per PC using Zero Touch deployment.
BDD v2.5 is the successor to BDD v2.0 which was released last fall. BDD has been used successfully to deploy 2MM desktops in the Enterprise space last year. This solution is free and available on our TechNet website, with number of downloads exceeding 15,000 per month.
Highlights for BDD version 2.5:
- Integration with Application Compatibility Toolkit 4.0
- Support for Windows x64
- Advanced reporting by integration with MOM 2005
- Strong improvements in application packaging, management tools and documentation
