Windows Server 2016 in the WDS service, full name of the Windows Deployment Services (Windows Deployment Services) is mainly used for mass deployment of computer operating systems and medium-sized network. You can manage images and unattended installation script by WDS service, and to provide a way to participate in the installation manual and unattended installation, greatly improving the speed of deployment of the operating system.
WDS deployment has two modes, namely, "integrated mode of AD" and "standalone mode." among them. Standalone mode independently of the AD Active Directory.
A prerequisite for the deployment of WDS (with AD integrated mode):
1.dns (ie Domain Name Service Domain Name Service) is mainly used to locate a domain controller and name resolution services;
2.DHCP (ie, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ) is mainly used to assign IP addresses to the need to install the operating system of the client;
3.AD service (ie active directory active directory service) is mainly used to verify the user's identity.
WDS deployment environment preparation
1. Client preparation:
NIC supports PXE function (pxe functions can be supported by the computer network from a remote server to download the image, and start the operating system supported by the network card)
2. System preparation:
user WDS deployment services must be local member of the Administrator group
WDS server also needs NTFS volume to store the image file type
3. network ready:
If you want to deploy unified more than one hundred computers, we recommend selecting a Gigabit network
After conditions are met, we are deploying WDS service.
1. First check disk information on the WDS server, make sure the disk is formatted NTFS partition and disk other than the system disk 
2. In the "Server Manager" window, click "Add Roles and Features" and enter "Add Roles and Wizard "window 
3. in the" select installation type "window, select" Windows deployment services "" DHCP service "check box in the pop-up" Add roles and features Wizard "dialog box, click" Add features " 
4. in "role select service" window and select "deployment server" and "transport server" check box 
5 installed until 
after installation is complete first DHCP server configuration, the address assignment section (DHCP described front blog, may not understand reference, here is not demonstrated) 
Then configure the WDS service
1. select the "Windows deployment services" from the tools menu "server Manager" window,
2. Right-click the server in the left pane FQDN ( fully qualified domain name) in the shortcut menu, select "configure the server" 
3. "installation options", select "Active Directory-integrated" 
4. in pxe server Initial Settings ", choose" respond to all client computers (known and unknown) " 
5.WDS server configuration has already begun, and wait patiently configuration 
6. Next import the image, the" Windows Deployment Services "window , right-click "boot images" in the shortcut menu, select "Add boot image" 
7. in "image file", specify the location boot.win image file, specified here is "D: \ source \ boot.win "(for the installation location of the image file source path of the optical disc) 
8. Add image until completion
9. In the "Windows Deployment Services" window, right-click "install image" in the shortcut menu, select "Add installation image" 
10.7. In "Image File", specify the location install.win image file, is specified here "D: \ source \ install.win" ( the installation location of the image file source path of the optical disc) 
11. Add image until the completion of 
12 to start the service 
after the completion of, on the client experiment,
after displaying the boot 1. FIG 
2. press F12 to enter boot mode network service, we can see that the client is trying to load a boot file from the server address 192.168.1.1 
3. after loading is complete, will enter the "Windows deployment services" start interface 
4. verify the identity of the dialog box, enter privileged user name and password here enter the domain administrator user name and password 
5. in the "select the operating system you want to install" dialog box, select the OS version you want to install, for example win7 here to 
complete the corresponding 6. after configuration, the client system will begin the installation of 
patience to complete the installation, Windows deployment services has been completed!
Hope more exchanges in the future on the road to learn, learn together and progress together!
