That being said, there is a caveat: there are still few valid use cases left where SMB1 is still required. For instance, you may still be running a product that explicitly requires SMBv1.
Case and point, SMBv1 is bad, really bad and you should never, ever re-enable it. But - if this is your only option - enabling the SMB1 feature in MDT boot images is trivially easy using 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 enable 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 1 in the Windows PE WIM image, which is what is needed to enable 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:
