Configure MDT and Configuration Manager integration
-Use MDT-specific task sequences; create MDT boot images; create custom task sequences, using MDT components

Plan for and implement application compatibility and remediation
-Planning considerations, including RDS, VDI, Client Hyper-V, and 32 bit versus 64 bit; plan for application version co-existence; use the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT); deploy compatibility fixes

Deploy Office by using MSI
