If you upgrade to 2012R2, you can just use straight OSD for XP deployments. Not that you should be doing any in 4 more months anyways ;)

I installed MDT 2012, but currently not using it yet (still have an old WDS server with MDT 2012). So my question ( which seems like a no-brainer) do I upgrade to Server 2012 R2 and SCCM 2012 R2/MDT 2013 to get me full leverage of the future? I have been holding off crating images in SCCM until I get a good understanding of our needs, and currently I only have a Primary site (no DP's or MP's) but that will change very soon. I understand that MDT 2013 does not support XP (which may be a small issue) but I am sure I can work around it. What if I already have an XP wim file and import it into MDT 2013? Will that work? Thanks, Kevin Johnston
