Zero Touch Provisioning v2.0 is used by multiple partners at many customers in Sweden. Unfortunately, there's been confusion with contracts and some problems with engaging Microsoft Services to provide partners with access and redistribution rights to v2.5 and now v3.0. Microsoft is a big company with lots of legal entities and opinions. I've been on leave for quite a while now, but before I left we began working on the partner release strategy for v3.0. I return to work next week and I'm excited to say that there's some good news for partners. We should be close to finalizing the v3.0 partner strategy, including source access and services for partners (like training and support). ZTP v3.0 will continue to be a Microsoft Services offering, available to partners and customers, but the contracts and costs will be commonly set and more easily obtained.

To partners in Sweden (like Spintop and WMdata), sorry for taking so long and I hope you haven't given up on us. Thank you for using Zero Touch Provisioning. The ZTP v3.0 framework and toolset is very powerful. I truly expect 2007 to be the year of Provisioning and even hope to visit customers and partners around the world to train on v3.0 and discuss v4.0.
