Install Windows Deployment Services (WDS)
Windows Deployment Services (WDS) Role |
WDS is a standard server role that can be installed using
the Server Manager console and
Includes the following two role services:
- Deployment Server: Provides full functionality of WDS. It includes an image repository (including boot images, install images, and other files necessary for remote installation over a network), PXE server for remote computers to boot, and a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server to transfer files over the network. TFTP is similar to FTP, but uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) instead of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for less overhead (simpler packets that can be processed faster than TCP packets because UDP does not require the use of acknowledgments). In addition, the Deployment Server includes tools to create and customize images.
- Transport Server: While required by the Deployment Server, the Transport Server role is a subset of WDS functionality, but can also be used for custom solutions. The Transport Server can also use multicasting, which allows one set of packets to be sent to multiple computers simultaneously.
