Planning a
Windows 8.1
deployment
Objectives
•
Identify compelling features in Windows 8.1 that enable SMBs
to immediately realize new business values in the areas of Bring
Your Own Device (BYOD), mobility, security
•
Plan a Windows 8 or 8.1 migration strategy
•
Understand application compatibility areas that may block a
migration to Windows 8.1 from Windows 7 or Windows XP
•
Understand how to troubleshoot and remediate application
compatibility issues by using Windows 8.1 tools and the
Application Compatibly Toolkit (ACT)
•
Create an application shim for an application that is not User
Account Control (UAC) aware
Scenario:
Contoso has upwards of 300 applications that will need to
be tested for Windows 8.1 compatibility
Contoso’s Microsoft partner has identified about 40 applications that
will need some remediation before they will run on Windows 8.1. The
Application Compatibility Toolkit is the best tool for the job. Most will
require a fix for an OS check to Windows XP SP3 or Windows 7
Since the partner has be working very closely with other
customers on similar issues, the direction to go for application
compatibility remediation was to create application SHIMs for
the software that needed to run on Windows 8.1

Scenario:
Contoso, like many business of their size, is embracing
the “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) trend
Security concerns have been raised about how to prevent corporate
applications and data form being compromised if the devices is lost or
stolen. Contoso currently used EAS (Exchange Active Sync) for
Exchange 2010 and some devices use the OMA (Outlook Mobile App)
for messaging.
Some applications and data will be deployed using Intune
MDM client. So the sensitive corporate data must be able to
be removed remotely if the mobile device is lost, stolen, or
retired.

Grow efficiently
Understanding application compatibility
The transition from Windows XP to Windows Vista was challenging
Windows 7 was highly compatible with Windows Vista, and Windows 8 is highly compatible with
Windows 7
• If you’re using Windows Vista or higher, migrating applications to Windows 8 will be much easier
• If still you’re using Windows XP, the application compatibility bridge to Windows 8 will be more
difficult than if you’re migrating from Windows 7
Why do applications break when you migrate to a more up-to-date operating system?
• Sometimes, features and behaviors are retired, which is often due to security concerns
• The most frequent cause of application compatibility failure is a version check: The application
checks the version of the operating system and then chooses to intentionally fail if it discovers
any version other than the ones it chooses to run on. Basically, the application is refusing to let
you try to run it on the new operating system, even if it would otherwise work perfectly!
Grow efficiently
Windows 8.1 UAC can cause application
compatibility issues
Windows 8.1 offers increased reliability with UAC
• UAC was introduced with Windows Vista and helps reduce the impact of the requirement for users
to have local administrator rights to run an application
• UAC provides the security infrastructure for application containers
• Applications that are not compatible with UAC will fail to load in Windows Vista and higher
• You can easily identify UAC compatibility problems by right-clicking on an application and clicking
Run As Administrator. If the application works when you’re logged on as an administrator but
not when you’re logged on as a regular user, it probably requires a UAC shim
• You can use the ACT to make applications compatible with UAC: You create an application shim
and then deploy it with the application to Windows 8.1
Grow efficiently
Windows 8.1 security features can cause
application compatibility issues
Enhancing security entails preventing certain things from happening
• Older applications were developed before it was commonly known how malware or viruses exploit
some capabilities that can create security exposure. For example
-
Applications may depend on the ability to do certain things, such as write to the registry or a protected
system folder. This is a security risk that needs to be managed
-
Internet Explorer protected mode creates a security sandbox for scripting. This may break certain web
applications that were written to perform operating system functions with Active X controls, which can
cause security exposure, instead of .NET framework controls
• Data Execution Prevention (DEP) reduces the ability for malware to attack the system, but it can
cause compatibility issues with legacy applications on newer operating systems
• Session 0 Isolation was introduced with Windows Vista to reduce risk by ensuring applications run
with significantly fewer privileges than in Windows XP. The reduced privileges can cause
application compatibility issues
• SmartScreen filtering in Windows 8.1 restricts malicious downloads
Grow efficiently
64-bit operating system can cause application
compatibility issues
Improved performance and capabilities can cause application compatibility issues
• 64-bit Windows can run existing 32-bit applications, but it cannot run existing 16-bit applications
- If you have a device that does not have a 64-bit device driver, or if you have mission critical16-bit
applications, you need to use a 32-bit operating system
• .NET applications are just in time (JIT) compiled into native code to run as 64-bit applications on
64-bit operating systems, and 32-bit code runs on 32-bit operating systems
- When the application calls the native code, the native code needs to be of the same type (64- or
32-bit) as the calling application
- When the application is calling in to 64-bit native code and that native code is compiled as 32bit code, this call will fail to load that DLL
• Fortunately, this problem is relatively straightforward to fix, either by changing the
compiler setting or by using the CorFlags utility to modify the executable directly
Grow efficiently
Removal of legacy components can cause
application compatibility issues
Legacy features are removed because they can
•
Block the ability to provide a superior replacement
•
Prevent the ability to meet performance, reliability, or security goals
Beginning with Windows Vista, support for kernel-mode printer drivers was removed
•
In general, Microsoft has been moving as much functionality out of kernel-mode as possible—
particularly when reliability is an issue, for example
- A failure in a kernel-mode driver leads to a blue-screen crash of the entire system
•
In contrast, a failure in a user-mode driver leads to a driver crash only
As of Windows Vista, logon providers were replaced with credential providers to offer
•
A higher level of customization for applications that authenticate via a custom shell
•
Multiple provider support for the same OS, IE, Windows authentication, smart card, biometrics, or
a custom experience an application

Introduction to ACT shims
Grow efficiently
The Microsoft Windows application compatibility infrastructure (shim infrastructure)
• Shims are application compatibility fixes and are among the most flexible and powerful tools
available for addressing application compatibility issues in preparation for a deployment of
Windows
- However, many organizations do not leverage shims to the extent that they could. Such
organizations don’t understand the underlying technology or do not have a process in place
to manage shims over the remaining lifetime of the applications that shims can remediate
• Shim databases are created and deployed with the ACT. Shims intercept kernel-level calls that
applications make and then return information that the application is looking for, such as a
specific OS version. Shims also pass token initiation calls to UAC so that an application that is not
UAC aware can still function when UAC is on

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit overview
MDT 2013
• MDT is a unified collection of tools, processes, and guidance for automating desktop and server
deployment. In addition to reducing deployment time and standardizing desktop and server
images, MDT enables you to more easily manage security and ongoing configurations
• MDT builds on the core deployment tools in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit
(Windows ADK) with additional guidance and features designed to reduce the complexity and time
required for deployment in an enterprise environment
• MDT 2013 supports the deployment of Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, as well as
Windows 7 and Windows 8. It includes support for zero-touch installation (ZTI) with Microsoft
System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager
• Much more efficient and flexible that deploying Ghost images
• Download MDT 2013 from: http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=40796
MDT deployment scenarios
Grow efficiently
Windows 8.1 deployment scenarios
•
Operating system deployment can be divided into different scenarios. Each Scenario differ slightly
in the way the image is deployed
- New computer - A bare-metal deployment of a new machine
- Computer refresh - A reinstall of the same machine with user-state migration and an optional
full Windows Imaging (WIM) image backup
- Computer replacement - A replacement of the old machine with a new machine with userstate migration and an optional full WIM image backup
Windows 8.1 image options
Grow efficiently
Since Windows Vista, operating system deployment has been completely image based
• For example, if you open the Windows 8.1 ISO or DVD and look in the Sources folder, you will
find the install.wim file
• This is a ready-to-go image of Windows 8, created using the System Preparation (Sysprep) tool
• This image also supports offline servicing, which enables you to add updates, language packs,
drivers, and more
Using custom WIM images
• With Windows 8.1, it’s not necessary to create a reference image because the image on the
Windows 8.1 DVD ISO is ready for deployment. However, you probably still want to create a
reference image of Windows 8.1 for other reasons, such as speed of deployment and security
during the deployment process. Custom images include
- Reference image
- Thin image
- Think image
- Hybrid image
Grow efficiently
Deploy a Windows 8.1 image using MDT
Overview of the Windows 8.1 deployment process with MDT
Step 1: Configure Active Directory permissions
Step 2: Set up the MDT production deployment share
Step 3: Add a custom image
Step 4: Add an application
Step 5: Prepare the drivers repository
Step 6: Create the deployment task sequence
Step 7: Configure the MDT production deployment share
Step 8: Deploy the Windows 8.1 client image
Step 1: Configure Active Directory
permissions
Grow efficiently
Set up an account and OU that will be used for domain join operations
• You will need to create a new Active Directory account that has permission to perform the Active
Directory object creation and management during the OS deployment
• The domain controller is DC01 and the MDT server is SRV_DEPLOYMENT_TOOLS
• The account is used for Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) to connect to
SRV_DEPLOYMENT_TOOLS
• A Windows PowerShell script has been provided in your lab for setting appropriate permissions
Step 2: Set up the MDT production
deployment share
Grow efficiently
Creating the MDT deployment share
• When you are ready to deploy Windows 8.1 in a production environment, you first create a
new MDT deployment share
• Do not use the same deployment share that you used to create the reference image for a
production deployment
• For guidance on creating a custom/reference Windows 8.1 image, see:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn744290.aspx
Step 3: Add a custom image
Grow efficiently
Add a reference image
• The next step is to add a reference image into the deployment share that has the setup
files required to successfully deploy Windows 8.1
- Creating a reference image is important because that image serves as the foundation
for the devices in your organization
- Creating a reference image is optional but recommended for security and automation
in most environments
• When adding a custom image, you still need to copy setup files (an option in the wizard)
because Windows 8.1 stores additional components in the Sources\SxS folder, which is
outside the image and may be required during installation of the components
Step 4: Add an application
Grow efficiently
Optional: Add applications to the MDT deployment share
• When you configure your MDT build lab deployment share, you will also add any applications to the
new deployment share before creating your task sequence
• This section walks you through the process of adding an application to the MDT production
deployment share, using Adobe Reader as an example
Step 5: Prepare the drivers repository
Grow efficiently
Preparing drivers for images
•
To deploy Windows 8.1 with MDT 2013 successfully, you need drivers for the boot images and for
the operating system
•
The key to successful management of drivers for MDT 2013, as well as for any other deployment
solution, is to have a good driver repository
•
From this repository, you import drivers into MDT 2013 for deployment. Always maintain the
repository for future use
•
An example of a logical driver repository is
-
•
Lenovo ThinkPad T420
Dell Latitude E6440
HP EliteBook 8560w
Microsoft Surface Pro
To collect model numbers for machines, use Windows PowerShell
Get-WmiObject -Class:Win32_ComputerSystem
Step 6: Create the deployment task
sequence
Grow efficiently
• Task sequences are created by the Task Sequence Editor and consist of a combined series of steps
that are designed to complete an action. Task sequences can operate across a computer restart
and can be configured to automate tasks on a computer without requiring user intervention
• You can add task sequence steps to a task sequence group, which helps keep similar task
sequence steps together for better organization and error control
• Each task sequence step performs a specific task, such as
-
Validating that the target computer is capable of receiving the deployment image
Storing user data in a safe location
Deploying an image to a target computer
Restoring saved user data
• Task sequence steps use utilities and scripts provided with MDT or by the deployment team to
accomplish their task
Common task sequence steps
The following are common uses of task sequence steps
Apply network settings
• Authorize DHCP
• Capture network settings
• Configure Active Directory Domain Services
• Configure DHCP
• Configure DNS
• Enable BitLocker
• Format and partition disk
• Install application
• Install operating system
• Install roles and features
• Restart computer
• Run command line

• For example, to create an encrypted store on a network share using the Config.xml file and the
default migration .xml files, use
scanstate \\server\share\migration\mystore /i:migapp.xml /i:migdocs.xml /o
/config:config.xml /v:5 /encrypt /key:"mykey"

• For example, to decrypt that earlier store and migrate the files and settings to a computer running
Windows 8.1, use:
loadstate \\server\share\migration\mystore /i:migapp.xml /i:migdocs.xml /v:5 /decrypt
/key:"mykey"
USMT XP – Win 8.1 the challenge!
• USMT 5.0 can scan XP machines but cannot load to 8.1
• USMT 6.3 cannot scan XP machines but can load USMT 5.0 files
• Solution?
- XP scanstate using USMT 5.0, then load it using USMT 6.3

Scenario:
Currently uses Small Business Server
2003 R2 for SharePoint, Messaging,
Backup, and Remote Access to
applications. They need a
replacement for SBS.
Contoso’s Microsoft partner has
recommended going with Office 365
and an Azure VM running Windows
Server 2012 R2 Essentials to deliver
the Exchange, SharePoint, and
Remote Access support they had with
SBS.
Using a combination an Azure VM running an
instance of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials,
and Office 365 for SharePoint, remote access to
applications and Exchange, Contoso will get off
of SBS 2003 before support ends, and they will
retain all the updated features they enjoyed with
SBS 2003 R2 using cloud infrastructure.

Scenario:
Adatum is a marketing
company a core team
that fluctuates from
100-300 members
Investment
of $300,000
into new
storage
Investment addressed the
capacity problem of storing
50 GB tables for every
campaign, but not the
performance problems
15 SQL Server
2005/2008 instances
Adatum needs to
improve query
performance by
getting the massive
amounts of disk I/O
out of the equation
spread across three
physical servers that
have 128-256 GB of
RAM each
Each runs SQL Server
2005 Standard Edition
However, at the end of
the day, the tables still
live on disk, and disks
still run at millisecond
speed in contrast with
everything else in the
pipeline, which runs at
nanosecond speed
Adatum needs a

Suitable
application
characteristics
In-Memory optimization
Application is suited for in-memory processing
• All performance-critical data already fits in memory
• Transaction locking or physical latching causing stalls and
blocking
Application is “OLTP-like”
• Relatively short-lived transactions
• High degree of concurrent transactions from many
connections
• Examples: Stock trading, travel reservations, order
processing
Application porting simplified if
• Stored procedures used
• Performance problems isolated to subset of tables and
stored procedures
Grow efficiently
Scenario:
At Adatum, each
campaign is
analyzed using
OTLP Transact SQL
(TSQL) queries that
rely heavily on
the TEMPDB
Causing large numbers of
locking and blocking issues
There is no way to
model the data
dimensionally and
process it into a
cube before the
data goes stale
…so querying the data in its
OLTP form is the only option
Solution

Scenario:
A big constraint on IT

We’re actually
taking about the

Scenario:
Customer likes the DBaaS
model and wants to move
an existing SQL Server
database to Microsoft Azure
SQL Database Service
Microsoft Azure SQL Database
Service is not 100% compatible
with SQL Server today. Customers
will need to analyze their specific
databases to see if DBaaS is the
right tool for them
Grow efficiently
The customer needs to analyze its onpremises database and understand
what database modifications are
necessary before migration.
Analysis and Migration Options:
• SQL Server Management Studio
• Visual Studio SQL Server Data Tools
• SQL Database Migration Wizard
Grow efficiently
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
for migration to Azure VMs
What’s delivered
• New wizard to deploy databases to SQL Server
in a Microsoft Azure VM
• Can also create a new Microsoft Azure VM if
needed
Main benefits
• Easy to use
- Perfect for database administrators new to
Microsoft Azure and for ad hoc scenarios
• Complexity is hidden
- Detailed Microsoft Azure knowledge is not
needed.
- Very low overhead: Database size is the
defining factor for time-to-transfer

Scenario:
Adatum’s staff and operating
expenses have grown by 10-15% each year
Now, the company has 350 employees during
peak season, and the annual IT budget is $500,000
Adatum expects to need at least two more
SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Servers, running
at least six to eight more SQL Server
instances
With more emphasis than ever being placed on self-service BI, the company
has decided to scale out the SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) frontend to
a load-balanced 4-server cluster running IIS in one tier, SSRS and its databases
in the middle tier, and the SQL Server campaign data in the third tier.
Grow efficiently
Microsoft Azure Virtual
Machines are great for
rapid expansion and can
also be scaled back during
slow times
Adatum scales back during slow
periods and only needs to pay
for the infrastructure services
that are used
The alternative would be to purchase
physical infrastructure and servers to
support the busiest times and let the
hardware and licenses remain idle
during slower times

Scenario
Would cloud-based
services benefit the
company?
Infrastructure expenses that Adatum has incurred
over the last two years:
$300,000.00 on SAN expansion
$30,000 on SQL Server Enterprise licensing
$65,000 on server hardware
$25,000 on consulting to set up the new
environment
Grow efficiently
A Microsoft Partner has proposed
using Microsoft Azure backup and
storage in the customer’s disaster
recovery plan to perform online
backups of certain workloads
and stores. This will save money on
third-party backup licenses for
servers and provide an offsite
storage and recovery mechanism in
the event of a natural disaster, theft,
or other unexpected event
Grow efficiently
Back up to Microsoft Azure using T-SQL
What’s delivered
• SQL Server supports backups to and restores from the Microsoft Azure Binary Large Object (BLOB)
storage service
(UI, T-SQL, Windows PowerShell cmdlets)
Main benefit: Take advantage of Microsoft Azure BLOB storage
• Flexible, reliable (three copies geo-redundant disaster recovery) and limitless offsite storage
• No need for backup media management
• No overhead for hardware management
CREATE CREDENTIAL mystoragecred
WITH IDENTITY = ‘mystorage',
SECRET = ‘<your storage access key>
BACKUP DATABASE mydb TO URL ='https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/backupcontainer/mydb-20130411.bak'
