How many name changes and version changes can one product task get...

I hope they stick with MDT in general.
I still call it BDD on accident.
It is turning into Buzzword Bingo.

Any word on when we're going to see RSAT?

Soon. If you are adventurous, you can force install the RSAT beta bits on Vista SP1. I don't have the link handy, but it involves some .MSU hackery.

expand -F:* Windows6.0-KB941314-x86.msu %temp%\rsat\
start /w %SystemRoot%\system32\pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:%temp%\rsat\Windows6.0-KB941314-x86.cab

lol MS is indeed in general self-obsessed with product naming, isn't it?

Has anyone gone through the Solution Accelerator for SCCM 2007 that's included in the download? I set this up step by step and I keep getting an error when I try to import the MDT task sequece...ugh, and I was so excited about this. Where do you go for support for tools like this? I asked a MS guy that I was working with in Cambridge for SCCM 07 support (another issue) and he hadn't even played with MDT yet.
