In this lab guide, we will learn the steps to deploy standalone WDS (Windows Deployment Service) Server running on Windows Server 2019 without Active Directory.
Hi bro, I am one of your fans. I appreciate you sharing all of your information. I need your assistance, dude. We must use PXEBoot to upgrade Win11 21H2 to 23H2 and push Win11 23H2. However, Windows Server 2019 cannot push Windows 11 23H2. If there is a choice, Windows Server 2022 will use WSUS or WDS. If uploading is an option, kindly do so, bro. I'm waiting to hear from you.
Thanks for the lab, I just want to add information for people who will be faced with the "there was a problem initializing wds mode" error. I was stuck with this problem for 5 hours, but my mistake was i put both vms (server and client) in VMNet1 which has it's own DHCP server, so when the client boot in PXE the vm client used my dhcp server (The windows DHCP Server) but after boot the vm tries to get a new ip address from the VMNet1 DHCP Server. My solution was to put the two virtual machines in segments where only the Windows DHCP server exists. VMnet2 works fine for me.
Standlone server I successfully installed and client repose is good but I tried with active directory with domain controller no response from the client what I can do tell me
