Hi Keith, is there anyway that I could avoid redownloading all of the required files since I already have most of larger ones. I think the process didn’t finish off properly the first time I ran it (although the indications were that it had but Office 2007 Eval, Silverlight, SQL Server 2008 Express didn’t appear to have downloaded, and more importantly neither did the Windows 7 eval iso. I subsequently downloaded the eval for Win 7 so I now have the applicable eval iso’s for Server 2008 and Win 7. Is there an unpacked script within the mdtbuildout directory that will allow this so I can rerun the buildout without another 10GB download?

There should be three ISO images created. Two Litetouch images that are about 160MB in size that boot up WinPE, they allow you to connect to the MDT Litetouch server and run the full installation over the network. There should also be a \media directory with a larger *.iso image.
