Hi all,

Seeing as there have been several questions around configuring and using Windows Deployment Services, we have produced technical documents to assist:

WDS in Windows Server 2003:

WDS 2003 Step by Step Guide - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=66145

Deploying and Managing the Windows Deployment Services Update on Windows Server 2003 - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=81031

WDS in Windows Server 2008

You can download this content at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=89381, or you can browse it using the following links:

WDS 2008 Step by Step Guide - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=84628

Hope this helps,

Please look at the online documentation for the most up to date content: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=88439

For 2008R2 specifically, here's the top level page with the new features for R2: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd348502(WS.10).aspx

Hi Jez,

currently having problem to use dism.exe to place drivers into the 9431 .wim file for creating a boot image for WDS.

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.1.7600.16385

Error: 0xc0000135

An error occurred while attempting to start the servicing process for the image located at G:\DistributionTools\scripts_WAIK_Win8.1\MountDir.
For more information, review the log file.

This is the dism.exe from a server 2008 R2 installation, where the WDS is running on.

Which dism.exe can be used to insert drivers into the 9431 .wim file for WDS?

thanks
andy
