Using Windows Deployment Services
WDS allows an IT administrator to install a Windows operating system without using an installation disc.
Using WDS allows you to deploy the operating system through a network installation.
WDS can deploy (All windows products) XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, 10, Server 2008/2008 R2,
Server 2012, Server 2012 R2, and Server 2016.
The following are some of the advantages of using WDS for automated installation:
●You can remotely install Windows 7/8/10.
●The procedure simplifies management of the server image by allowing you to access Windows
7/8/10 distribution files from a distribution server.
●You can quickly recover the operating system in the event of a computer failure.
Here are the basic steps of the WDS process from a PXE-enabled WDS client:
1. The WDS client initiates a special boot process through the PXE network adapter (and the
computer's BIOS configured for a network boot). On a PXE client, the user presses F12 to start
the PXE boot process and to indicate that they want to perform a WDS installation.
2. A list of available Windows PE boot images is displayed. The user should select the appropriate
Windows PE boot image from the boot menu.
3. The Windows Welcome screen is displayed. The user should click the Next button.
4. The WDS user is prompted to enter credentials for accessing and installing images from the
WDS server.
5. A list of available operating system images is displayed. The user should select the appropriate
image file to install.
6. The WDS user is prompted to enter the product key for the selected image.
7. The Partition And Configure The Disk screen is displayed. This screen provides the ability to
install a mass storage device driver, if needed, by pressing F6.
8. The image copy process is initiated, and the selected image is copied to the WDS client
computer.
The following sections describe how to set up the WDS server and the WDS clients and how to install
Windows 7/8/10 through WDS.
Preparing the WDS Server
The following steps for preparing the WDS server are discussed in the upcoming sections:
1. Make sure that the server meets the requirements for running WDS.
2. Install WDS.
3. Configure and start WDS.
4. Configure the WDS server to respond to client computers (if this was not configured when WDS
was installed).
For WDS to work, the server on which you will install WDS must meet the requirements for WDS and be
able to access the required network services.
WDS Server Requirements
The WDS server must meet these requirements:
●The computer must be a domain controller or a member of an Active Directory domain.
●At least one partition on the server must be formatted as NTFS.
●WDS must be installed on the server.

Using Windows Deployment Services

WDS allows an IT administrator to install a Windows operating system without using an installation disc. Using WDS allows you to deploy the operating system through a network installation. WDS can deploy (All windows products) XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, 10, Server 2008/2008 R2, Server 2012, Server 2012 R2, and Server 2016. The following are some of the advantages of using WDS for automated installation:

● You can remotely install Windows 7/8/10.

● The procedure simplifies management of the server image by allowing you to access Windows

7/8/10 distribution files from a distribution server.

● You can quickly recover the operating system in the event of a computer failure.

Here are the basic steps of the WDS process from a PXE-enabled WDS client:

1. The WDS client initiates a special boot process through the PXE network adapter (and the

computer's BIOS configured for a network boot). On a PXE client, the user presses F12 to start the PXE boot process and to indicate that they want to perform a WDS installation.

2. A list of available Windows PE boot images is displayed. The user should select the appropriate

Windows PE boot image from the boot menu.

3. The Windows Welcome screen is displayed. The user should click the Next button.

4. The WDS user is prompted to enter credentials for accessing and installing images from the

WDS server.

5. A list of available operating system images is displayed. The user should select the appropriate

image file to install.

6. The WDS user is prompted to enter the product key for the selected image.

7. The Partition And Configure The Disk screen is displayed. This screen provides the ability to

install a mass storage device driver, if needed, by pressing F6.

8. The image copy process is initiated, and the selected image is copied to the WDS client

computer. The following sections describe how to set up the WDS server and the WDS clients and how to install Windows 7/8/10 through WDS.

Preparing the WDS Server

The following steps for preparing the WDS server are discussed in the upcoming sections:

1. Make sure that the server meets the requirements for running WDS.

2. Install WDS.

3. Configure and start WDS.

4. Configure the WDS server to respond to client computers (if this was not configured when WDS

was installed). For WDS to work, the server on which you will install WDS must meet the requirements for WDS and be able to access the required network services.

WDS Server Requirements

The WDS server must meet these requirements:

● The computer must be a domain controller or a member of an Active Directory domain.

● At least one partition on the server must be formatted as NTFS.

● WDS must be installed on the server.

● The operating system must be Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008/2008 R2,

Windows Server 2012 / 2012 R2, or Windows Server 2016.

● A network adapter must be installed.

Network Services

The following network services must be running on the WDS server or be accessible to the WDS server from another network server:

● TCP/IP installed and configured

● A DHCP server, which is used to assign DHCP addresses to WDS clients (Ensure that your

DHCP scope has enough addresses to accommodate all of the WDS clients that will need IP addresses.)

● A DNS server, which is used to locate the Active Directory controller

● Active Directory, which is used to locate WDS servers and WDS clients as well as authorize

WDS clients and manage WDS configuration settings and client installation options

Installing the WDS Server Components

You can configure WDS on a Windows Server 2003/2008/2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 / 2012 R2, or Windows Server 2016 computer by using the Windows Deployment Services Configuration Wizard or by using the WDSUTIL command line utility. Table 1.5 describes the WDSUTIL command line options.

Table 1.5: WDSUTIL command line options

WDSUTIL Option Description /initialize-server (^) Initializes the configuration of the WDS server /uninitialized- server Undoes any changes made during the initialization of the WDS server /add (^) Adds images and devices to the WDS server /convert-ripimage (^) Converts Remote Installation Preparation (RIPrep) images to WIM images /remove (^) Removes images from the server /set (^) Sets information in images, image groups, WDS servers, and WDS devices /get (^) Gets information from images, image groups, WDS servers, and WDS devices /new (^) Creates new capture images or discover images /copy-image (^) Copies images from the image store /export-image (^) Exports to WIM files images contained within the image store

6. The Partition And Configure The Disk screen appears. Select the desired disk-partitioning

options, or click OK to use the default options.

7. Click Next to initiate the image-copying process. The Windows Setup process will begin after

the image is copied to the WDS client computer.
