It's been a long time since I've posted on here. We have our deployment working and it's been stable for about a year and a half now I guess. The new MDT 2010 is out now. I never looked at any of the betas for it because I did not want to disturb my current deployment point. I recently downloaded the 2010 (RTM?) and looked at it and it is going to take me a little bit to digest it.
The first thing that I can say about it is that I cannot wait to play with it. The MS folks have added quite a bit of nice features it looks like to me. I wasn't bright enough to understand how to setup one deployment point and have it be a master for some other ones (for lack of a better term). It appears that is easy in 2010 (and was supposedly in earlier ones, but not easy). Following that same way of doing things having a dev and prod deployment looks to be tons easier now too.
There are lots of improvements so if you haven't looked at MDT 2010 you really should take a peek. As I get to start working with it over the next little bit I will get back to updating this blog with the things that I figure out.
