微软发布 Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2013 正式版
在 Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2 上市之后没几天，新版 Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2013（MDT2013）也随即发布。
MDT2013 除了修复已知问题，还增加了对 Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2 的支持，同时也增加了对 ConfigMgr 2012 R2 的支持。
但是需要特别注意的是，MDT2013 将只支持 Windows 7 或以上版本的系统部署，加入您当前的企业环境还需要部署 Windows XP 或 Vista，并使用 ConfigMgr 2007 或 2012 SP1 版本，那么请保留 MDT 2012 Update 1。

从现有 MDT 版本升级方式安装 MDT 2013 时需要注意，在安装前请先卸载 Windows ADK 8，并安装最新发布的 Windows ADK 8.1，否则在安装后打开部署点时会出现警告，并拒绝执行操作。如下图所示：
整个升级过程与以往版本操作完全相同，在升级安装完成后，需要对部署点执行升级才算完整全部的升级工作。
