anyweb 480 Posted July 3, 2009 Report post Posted July 3, 2009 file not found means it cannot find a file to read or boot from verify that you have a boot image in windows deployment services if you do, is the WDS server running on the same pc as the DHCP server or a different one ?

Tarecco 0 Posted July 5, 2009 Report post Posted July 5, 2009 i'm using this guide http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=438 but after that i get native mode and gone on with boot.wim and install.wim. if you need more info tell me and i will post it quick as possible thanx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anyweb 480 Posted July 5, 2009 Report post Posted July 5, 2009 Mixed In mixed mode (Windows Server 2003), WDS offers both OSChooser and WinPE booting, plus RISetup, RIPrep and WIM functionality. Management of RIS is via the RIS utilities, and management of WDS via the WDS mmc console or command line utility (wdsutil). The mode requires that RIS has been pre-configured on the Windows 2003 server. the above tells you that you should have setup RIS first, otherwise you'll end up in native mode with no possibility of doing ris or legacy installs so maybe its time to uninstall WDS and start again by reading this WDS topic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anyweb 480 Posted July 6, 2009 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 if you are going to deploy Vista then you don't need mixed mode functionality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarecco 0 Posted July 6, 2009 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 not mixed but native mode? and do you have any full guide? i tried this one http://www.msfn.org/board/Guide-capture-Image-t107660.html also same problem with PXE-T01 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anyweb 480 Posted July 6, 2009 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 your problem is either a permissions problem or a mis configuration.. right click on your RemoteInstall folder in explorer and click on it's properties you should see an entry in there for WDSServer and it should have all rights if it doesn't then the WDS installation has failed and you can try adding them manually, or remove WDS, reboot, remove the remoteinstall folder, and reinstall WDS cheers anyweb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anyweb 480 Posted July 6, 2009 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 it is not a normal user account, it is a service created during WDS intsallation. please uninstall WDS, reboot, remove the remoteinstall folder, reinstall wds and check again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
