Hi All,
I work in a large school system and am the Technology Coordinator at a school, I do not have access to the SCCM confidmgr console (I wish i did so I could use the windowsnoob HTA) so I do have to do all of my deployments though WDS /w SIM and MDT.
All that being said I have a physical Windows Server 2008r2 enterprise server that I use for WDS deployments of Win 7 and script all the answers with SIM, I do have a need to send out XP to some of our older systems.
I have created the image of the XP system in virtualbox and installed sysprep and created my wim of it using a capture image I have on my wds server, I transfered it to the server and added it to my installation collection.
My issue is with deployment, with vista and windows 7/8 you have a boot.wim that you can use to load up the pe environment though with XP aparently you do not, I tried using a vista boot.wim and it does not see my xp image on wds at all so im pretty sure this is a dumb question but how the heck do you launch the deployment?
It seems that everything I have read on the net is centered around using wds on server 2003 /w RIS not on server 2008 with the new wds.
Please help,
Paul
