Hi,
PXE and boot.wim are different things. With PXE you boot your machine and connect to WDS. After that you have to choose which boot-image (boot.wim) you want to start and then you can select your install image.
If you want to deploy a Win 7 image you have to add the boot.wim from Win7 into WDS to make it deployable. The same for other operating systems

- "NO DHCP or DHCP PROXY SERVER OFFER" indicates that the PXE ROM isn't receiving a reponse from either you DHCP server or your WDS server (WDS is the proxy DHCP server).
Check to ensure that you have a functioning DHCP server on this subnet. Also verify that your WDS server is configured to answer the PXE request of this client,
Do you have DHCP and WDS installed on the same machine? - Hi,
ok if you have both images in wds that's ok.
Is your WDS installed on the DHCP-Server? If so then you have to set the following options:
"On the DHCP tab, select Do not listen on port 67 and Configure DHCP Option 60 to PXEClient (for Windows Server 2008 R2, this option is labeled “Configure DHCP option 60 to indicate that this server is also a PXE server”)."
In another thread the problem was that WDS was installed in a virtaul machine and running on Hyper-V. The solution was to use a network card of the type "legacy network adapter".

Dear i have used the same configurations as you said and double checked it...... i m not using virtual server. I am using Windows Servder 2008 standard edition on a HP PROLIANT DL 380 G5 server machine.
Today i have formatted all and then try to install form scratch ... i installed the AD DS , DNS and DHCP, WINS, but when i use the IPCONFIG/ALL, i can see the DHCP is NOT ENABELED. I am really in tension with this. Hi,
do you have the DHCP authorized?
Greetings
Christian
Christian Groebner MVP ForefrontHi
thxs for ur attention, yes i have authorized. Even the clean installation after formatting the all not working..... i mean still DHCP Enable show "NO"
Any idea ?
I am following the configuration described in the : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770637(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_2 and it also includes the authorized DHCP.
I m waiting eagerly for ur reply.- Hi,
maybe a stupid question but the server has fixed ip? With a dynamic IP it won't work.
Do other clients get an IP when they boot up to Windows?

Christian Groebner MVP Forefront - Hi
Yes it gives me an idea.... i have configured the Static IP address.... i am stupid enough .. how DHCP works with static IP......
SO i have static IP since i have to install the AD DS and WDS and WAIK etc, so here whats your recommendations,
Thxs again for giving attention to my problem. - Hi,
I don't understand what you mean?
What's your idea?
Greetings
Christian
Christian Groebner MVP Forefront - Hi
Thxs once again for your post, i said in my last post that it is correct that i am using the Static IP. and it seems DHCP may be not working due to this configurations.
Additionaly i said that Static IP is required to work with WDS and AD DS.
Please assist me what to do .....

Christian Groebner MVP Forefront - Hi
The link u provided is for he server 2003, but i can have a idea for 2008 server. So nothing important found, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779112(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_2 also gives no benifit.
Really i m in bad condition now, Hi,
Set your WDS server a Static IP address such as 192.168.0.1. And set the DHCP IP address scope from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.100.
Open the DHCP console, right-click your domain and click Authorize. (If it has already been authorized, you will see Unauthorized. In this case, please skip this step.)
Open the DHCP console, right-click your domain, point to All Tasks and click Restart.
Hope it helps.

Also when i do IPCONFIG/ALL then i can also see that DHCP enabel = NO, i am in a bad condition with this ! (WDS and DHCP on same server)
NOTE: May be i done mistake to configure Static IP to WDS, can you also elaborate how you recommend to Set your WDS server a Static IP address (WDSUTIL /Set-Server /BindPolicy option to force WDS to use Adapter )
RunWDSUTIL /Set-Server /UseDHCPPorts:No /DHCPOption60:Yes.
RunWDSUTIL /Set-Server /UseDHCPPorts:No.
RunWDSUTIL /Set-Server /RogueDetection:Yes.
RunWDSUTIL /Set-Server /Authorize:Yes.
WDSUTIL /Set-Server /AnswerClients:All.
WDSUTIL /Set-Server /AllowN12ForNewClients:Yes
WDSUTIL /Set-Server /ArchitectureDiscovery:Yes.
