MDT is retired.
Here's your replacement.
Provision Manager gives you what Microsoft Deployment Toolkit did — and what Autopilot and Intune can't: a 100% cloud-native way to install Windows on any device from bare metal. No servers, no deployment shares, no task sequences to maintain.
The gaps your current toolset leaves open
Most IT teams piece together 4–6 tools. CapaOne collapses them into one.
No more security updates
Microsoft retired MDT without patching known security vulnerabilities — leaving active deployments exposed to risk with no path to remediation.
No future Windows compatibility
MDT will not support Windows 12. Every hardware refresh brings your organisation closer to complete deployment incompatibility.
No cloud support
MDT was built for on-premise environments and cannot address remote onboarding, cloud recovery, or zero-infrastructure deployments.
A clear path from problem to result
Configure deployment templates
Set up OS settings, regional preferences, and driver policies directly in the Provision Manager platform — no task sequences, no scripts.
Connect your management layer
Integrate with Intune for a seamless post-deployment handoff, or run Provision Manager standalone without any Intune dependency.
Pilot on selected devices
Validate the workflow on a small set of endpoints before rolling out across the organisation — confidence before scale.
Operationalise the solution
Deploy across all new devices, remote onboarding scenarios, and cloud recovery situations — the same workflow every time.
Outcomes your team can measure
Under 1 hour from bare metal
A device goes from blank hardware to fully configured and ready to work in under an hour — with no technician on site.
0 deployment servers needed
Eliminate the entire on-premise deployment infrastructure — no WDS, no deployment shares, no PXE servers to maintain.
Fewer hardware tickets
Certified driver installation from managed libraries eliminates the compatibility issues MDT's manual driver packs routinely caused.
Audit-ready documentation
Full logging of OS and driver activity for every deployment — automatically, without extra configuration.
Ready for Windows 12
Provision Manager is maintained and updated continuously — no compatibility cliff when Microsoft releases the next OS version.
Products that power this solution
Provision Manager
The MDT replacement — 100% cloud-native Windows provisioning with certified driver matching and no deployment servers.
Explore Provision ManagerApplication Manager
Deploy and update applications post-provisioning — closing the loop from bare metal to fully managed.
Explore Application ManagerWhy can't I just use Autopilot as an MDT replacement?
Autopilot is a device configuration service, not a deployment tool. It requires a device already running Windows. Provision Manager handles bare-metal installation before Autopilot begins — they complement each other.
Does Provision Manager require Microsoft Intune?
No. It works standalone or fully integrates with Intune for organisations already using that platform.
Can it fully replace on-premise deployment servers?
Yes. It's 100% cloud-native with no servers, PXE infrastructure, or deployment shares required — the entire workflow runs from the cloud.
What about driver matching?
The platform automatically identifies hardware models and installs correct manufacturer-certified drivers without manual management — no driver pack maintenance required.
Do we need to build and maintain OS images ourselves?
No. CapaOne delivers and maintains clean, up-to-date Windows images directly in the platform — you get current images without any image engineering on your side.
How is a deployment initiated?
Either from the cloud — new devices cloud-boot and install directly — or from a USB key for on-site single-device setup. Both use the same templates and produce the same result.
