+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) is retired.** MDT integration with Configuration Manager and MDT Standalone are **no longer supported**. To prevent task sequence corruption and modification failures, **remove all MDT task sequence steps**, and then **remove MDT integration**. Consider moving to modern provisioning solutions such as Windows Autopilot to obtain cloud‑driven, zero‑touch provisioning for Windows devices. [Learn more about Autopilot](/windows/deployment/windows-autopilot/windows-autopilot). For customers who have on-premises infrastructure and existing Configuration Manager environments, OSD remains a fully supported option.
