If you're attending TechEd 2005 in Orlando, Florida, feel free to look me up. I'm presenting on ZTP in the Windows Desktop track (since we shipped publicly with the BDD Enterprise solution accelerator.

DSK330  Zero Touch Provisioning with the Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment - Enterprise Edition

Day/Time: Wednesday, June 8 2:00 PM - 3:15 PM Room: N 210 E

This session begins with a high-level overview of the Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment Enterprise Edition. A technical drilldown into Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) explains: what provisioning is; why a company would use it; how it works; and illustrates this with some real life experiences. This session covers the architecture, services, and actions of the Zero Touch Provisioning engine, a workflow engine (based on BizTalk Server 2004) and a self-service portal (using Windows SharePoint Services). ZTP provides services to end-users and delegate administrators, using business rules to minimize help desk calls and to automate execution of IT and related tasks. The session concludes with an overview of the BDD roadmap and resources available to you. By the end of this session, you will understand the purpose of ZTP, how ZTP works, and how to use ZTP. (Strong Focus on BizTalk Server 2004.)
