Hi guys i have installed Windows Deployment Services Few months back. Its working fine. But i have few questions regarding the WDS ! there is a feature in WDS in which only the authorized clients can access to WDS using the GUID or MAC address by creating the account in the Active Directory (Something known as pre-staging). We have around 5000 students in our college and for security reasons we want only those 5000 users to connect to the Windows Deployment Services. There was a scenario where one of the students will bring his brothers or sisters laptop and connect to WDS for Imaging & due to licensing reasons we don't want that to happen. So how i can capture or reterive the MAC Address / GUID of those 5000 computers which are connected on the network and then authorize them in Windows Deployment Services ??? Plzzzzzzzzzzzz guys help me out i m waiting for your reply !
