Selecting the deployment tools

It is not easy to select deployment tools. Different people will have different preferences and therefore favor different deployment tools. But perhaps we can roll up to the question from a different angle, as it is just the same if you use MDT, MECM, or a third-party deployment. You also need to decide whether you want to continue installing on-premises, or whether you are on the way to modern management with MDM and AAD (or have already arrived there). Accordingly, the deployment tool should be able to handle this option. MECM is well positioned for a transition with its co-management option.

It is important to use the latest ADK delivered with the Windows 11 release you are deploying. Your ADK should be one release older at the most, so have a look at the known issues page of the ADK before picking it. From this important requirement and the release cadence of one Windows 11 release per year, we come to the next prerequisite.
