  4. WDS Requirements • System Requirements • DHCP, DNS, Active Directory (sort of) • Tip! Do not install WDS on same machine as DNS DC/DNS WDS/DHCP DC/DNS DNS DHCP DNS DC Clients DC WDS

  5. WDS Setup Johan Arwidmark Chief Technical Architect Knowledge Factory demo

  6. WDS Scenarios • Bare Metal Deployments • Setup.exe + Unattend.xml (Default or Custom image) • Designed for little or no customizations • Basic Driver Provisioning • Vista and higher only • Language Packs • Multicast Support • Capture and Deploy • Including Legacy Operating Systems

  7. WDS Scenarios, cont. • Migrating files during deployment (Refresh)? • Yes, with some serious hacks  • Samples available on TechNet • Very elegant solution? • IMHO, not really no... • The are better ways of doing this

  8. WDS Scenarios demo

  9. Automating WDS • Automating the Network Boot • Automating the selection of the boot image • Creating Unattend Files • WDS Client unattend file • Automates the WDS client user interface screens • Image unattend file • Automates remaining phases of setup

  10. Automating WDS Johan Arwidmark Chief Technical Architect Knowledge Factory demo

  11. WDS Components • WDSServer - Main server-side service • 6 Providers • Wdspxe.dll - The PXE server • Binlsvc.dll - PXE provider • Wdstftp.dll – TFTP Server • Wdsimgsrv.dll – Image Store • Wdsmc.dll – Multicast server • Wdscp.dll – Multicast content provider

  12. RemoteInstall folder • Boot – Boot images and PXE boot files • Images – Install Images • Mgmt – Auto-Add Devices database • Templates – Legacy OS Support template • Tmp – The BCD stores • WdsClientUnattend – WDS Client Unattend.xml

  13. Using WDS without Active Directory • Sometimes called Simple TFTP – 7 steps configuration • Add the transport role service • Create and share the RemoteInstall folder • Copy the boot files • Copy the boot images • Configure the WDS Providers (registry) • Configure the WDS Policies (wdssipr.dll.conf.ini) • Configure DHCP + PXE (netsh + Registry)

  14. Configure Simple PXE Johan Arwidmark Chief Technical Architect Knowledge Factory demo

  15. Troubleshooting WDS • PXE Clients • WDS and DHCP • Performance • Network Boot, TFTP Download and Image Apply Phases • Multicast • Enable Tracing

  16. Troubleshooting WDS Johan Arwidmark Chief Technical Architect Knowledge Factory demo

  17. Extending WDS with MDT 2010 • Additional Scenarios • Advanced Drivers Provisioning • Superior Refresh and Replace • Pre-OS Tasks • RAID config / Dynamic Paritioning • Post-OS Tasks • Configuring Settings, Installing Updates / Applications

  18. Extending WDS with MDT 2010 Johan Arwidmark Chief Technical Architect Knowledge Factory demo

  19. Summary • If objSingleThickImage = ”Yes”’ with little or no need for customizations • Use WDS as it is • Else • Extend/integrate WDS with MDT 2010 • End If
