Deploy Win 7 With Windows deployment Services

I have perused over the links above, regarding Windows 7 unattended deployment using Microsoft WDS.

If I understand WDS can use either WAIK or MDT to deploy Win7.

I wonder which of them is easier than the other.
It seems to me AIK installs windows system Image Manager, which is a little bit complicated. This is is only my point of view after reading the articles.

ANy Expert out there who used WDS with MDT or WDS with AIK(WSIM) ? if so which of them is easier. I know MDT will let you add software the reference image later instead of creating a new reference image from scratch, but for me it is not important for now.

any help will be very much appreciated.

Thank you

The company I work for does not have many users. so now and then they will have to give a user a new computer, or new hires will come up and new new computer.

I know SCCM 2012 is for larger enterprises

WAIK once installed, it has windows imaging system manager included with it, and you can also install MDT from WAIK.
so it 's free and those tools integrate with WDS

All free.

SCCM 2012 is a separate license.
