SCCM Server and Task Sequence Deploy Windows with Separately WDS Server

SSE@TUE 360

Hi,

At the Time I have an SCCM Server with WDS Server both on the same Server. Now I want to install a separately WDS Server 2022.

How can I set the new WDS Server to be sure, if I run F12, I can boot from WDS Server and install my Windows Client or Server?

Regards

You can install the WDS role on another server and use iphelpers to point the dhcp ports to the boot server and file. However, I’ll suggest to replace WDS with PXE responder and configure it close to a DP on the same subnet.

Hello **SSE@TUE,

**It is covered in this article about configuring DP as PXE: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/configmgr/osd/deploy-use/use-pxe-to-deploy-windows-over-the-network#BKMK_Configure

Also, to understand better the working of PXE boot in SCCM environment, refer to: PXE boot in Configuration Manager - Configuration Manager | Microsoft Learn

More on recommendations related to IP helpers and DHCP options, refer to: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/configurationmanagerblog/you-want-to-pxe-boot-dont-use-dhcp-options-/275562

Hope this helps!
