Yes, you can use it with WDS, MDT and it does image compression and file based imaging with gives you single instance storage in the image and it makes it easier to insert drivers and updates offline.

If you end up using it remember to add the

If it only takes 5min to set up anyone got a simpletons guide to setting WDS up from scratch?
