WDS deploy problem

[ryanvillareal]

Hey guys/gals,

My name is Ryan. I am new in the IT field and i was wondering if i could get some assistance with Windows deployment services. The info is as follows

I have ...

1) Created a deployment server, windows 2k3, sp2.

2) Configured the WDS to accept all clients

3) Created a boot image from a .wim file from a Vista CD

3) Created a capture image from that boot image

4) Built a reference computer to capture an image from

5) Configuerd a boot menu on the WDS console

6) Booted the reference computer off the nic to the "wds image capture wizrd". Was able to create an image and save it to the install image container on the server

The problem that i am having is now when i boot the refernce computer off the nic (to test deploy the image) it always boots into the "capture wizard" instead of bringing up the image to be able to deploy. I tried to "disable" the boot image, but that just brought up errors when booting off the nic.

Any/all help is much appreciated.

Thank You

Ryan

Hey all,

I've fixed the issue that i am having. The problem was as this is the second time around that i have played with WDS, the first time around i have somehow saved a "captured" boot.wim over the original boot.wim, hence the always goining straight into the Capture Wizard. Stupid i know....

Thanks

Ryan
