WDS Server
-----------
Windows Deployment Services (WDS) enables you to deploy Windows operating systems over the network, which means that you do not have to install each operating system directly from a CD or DVD.
Benefits of WDS Server:-
------------------------
Allows network-based installation of Windows operating systems, which reduces the complexity and cost when compared to manual installations.
Supports deploying images for mixed environments including Windows 7and Windows Server 2008 R2 through Windows 8.1and Windows Server 2012 R2.
Uses standard Windows Setup technologies including Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), .wim files, and image-based setup.
Transmits data and images by using multicast functionality.
Allows you to create images of a reference computer using the Image Capture Wizard, which is an alternative to the ImageX tool.
Allows you to add driver packages to the server and configure them to be deployed to client computers along with the install image.
Prerequisites for installing Windows Deployment Services:-
----------------------------------------------------------
- Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). A Windows Deployment Services server must be a member of an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain or a domain controller for an AD DS domain.
- DHCP. You must have a working Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server with an active scope on the network because Windows Deployment Services uses PXE, which relies on DHCP for IP addressing.
- DNS. You must have a working Domain Name System (DNS) server on the network before you can run Windows Deployment Services.
- NTFS volume. The server running Windows Deployment Services requires an NTFS file system volume for the image store.
- Credentials. To install the role, you must be a member of the Local Administrators group on the server.
