Actions to Take: </b><br>
This release is an update of the existing site. A new 3.1 MDT Bundle may
be created to take advantage of MDT 2012 and Windows ADK. This can be downloaded
using Fixlet 46 in the site. No immediate actions are required and the
current product will continue to function normally. Some features and UI
may change slightly. As a 3.1 MDT Bundle is imported, bare metal servers
will need to be updated to TPMfOSD 7.1.1 Fixpack 12. Tivoli Provisioning
Manager for OS Deployment can be downloaded from FixCentral. Version 7.1.1.11-200.39
and later is compatible with this version of the site.</font><font size=3><br>
