Microsoft added the recommendation to disable SMB1 protocol to security baseline and exposed a way to do so through Group Policy editors for local or domain GPOs by releasing new ADMX templates. In addition - based on my tests using current Insider Preview of Windows 10 RS3 (Fall Creators Update) ADK - going forward SMB1 protocol will be disabled by default in Windows PE.
That said, if you want to jump on the "Stop using SMB1" bandwagon early and wish to harden your Windows PE boot images, disabling the SMB1 feature in the current iteration of Windows ADK is possible and, with the boot image update process in MDT, trivially easy. The setting that needs to be manipulated in Windows PE is not doable via GPO management, but there is a different way to do this, which makes use of the little known MDT feature UpdateExit.vbs script.
Note: Michael Niehaus explained the UpdateExit process in great detail in his blog post MDT 2010 New Feature #17: Customizable boot image process.
The C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\Samples folder contains the sample UpdateExit.vbs script.
To disable SMB1 place the modified UpdateExit.vbs file into the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\Samples folder, overwriting the version that is already there. When the Update Deployment Share process runs, this exit script will be called to set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\SMB1 registry value to 0 in the Windows PE WIM image, which is what is needed to disable Server Message Block protocol. When you update the deployment share make sure to select the Completely regenerate the boot images option or make a change that requires re-generating the WIM and ISOs:
