Overview: WDS is the windows deployment Service (windows deployment services), which is mainly used in the batch deployment of computer operating systems in large and medium-sized networks. By using WDS, you can manage images and unattended installation scripts, and provide manual and unattended installation, greatly speeding up the deployment of the operating system.

The main advantages of using WDS to deploy services are:

1. Reduce the complexity of deployment and the cost of inefficient manual installation.

two。 Allows network-based installation of the Windows operating system.

3. You can deploy a Windows image to a computer that does not have an operating system installed.

4. Supports mixed environments including Windows server 2008, Windows server 2008 R2, Windows 7, and Windows XP.

5. Is a standards-based Windows server 2008 R2 installation technology (including Windows PE, wim files, and image-based installation).

Experimental principle:

(1) the client starts, and the IP address configuration information is obtained through the DHCP server

(2) the client finds the WDS server, tries to connect to it, and starts the Win PE image

(3) the client starts to install the operating system image on the WDS server

To ensure that WDS completes the automatic distribution of the system, at least the following components are installed correctly:

DNS: domain name resolution service, mainly used to find domain controllers and name resolution services.

DHCP: dynamic host configuration protocol, mainly used to assign IP addresses to clients that need to install an operating system.

AD service: active directory service, mainly used for user authentication.

Prepare to deploy the WDS environment

1. Server and client preparation

(1) it is recommended to use a separate server for deployment

(2) when selecting a client

Try to choose products of the same type from the same manufacturer.

Network card is required to support PXE function.

two。 System preparation

(1) the WDS server must be an active directory member server or domain controller

(2) WDS deployment server requires NTFS file system volumes to store images

(3) the user deploying the WDS service must be a member of the local Administrators group on the server. To initialize the server, you must also be a member of Domain Users

3. Network preparation

If you want to deploy more computers in a unified way, it is recommended to use a gigabit network.

Next, start installing the WDS service

Lab environment: a Windows server 2008 R2 server, a client without a system installed

The process of the experiment:

1. Install and deploy AD, DHCP, and DNS services on the WDS server, and after deployment, install the WDS service, click roles in the left space in Server Manager, and then stand-alone add role button to enter the add role Wizard

Dialog box, stand-alone "next" button, in the "Select Server role" dialog box, check the "windows deployment Services" check box

two。 Select both the deployment Server and Transport Server check boxes in the Select role Service dialog box

3. After confirmation, the stand-alone "install" button completes the installation of the WDS service. After the installation is complete, you can view the installed service in the Server Manager.

4. Configure the WDS service

5. Specify the path to the remote installation folder

6. Define DHCP options

7.PXE server initial setup

8. Once this is done, the WDS server begins to configure the service. After configuring the WDS service, you need to uncheck "add image to the server now" and "finish button" on a stand-alone machine.

Next you need to consider the information that the client distributes the operating system. This needs to be done by importing the image. The following is a brief introduction to the installation image.

Boot.Wim: boot image, which contains the boot file of the system. It can also be understood as the installation system is the PE system of choice.

Install.Wim: the installation image of the system, which can also be understood as the compressed version of the installation disk.

9. Add Boot Ima

10. Select the location of the image file

11. Specify the image name and image description

twelve。 On the Summary dialog box, after the previous setting is correct, the stand-alone "next" button

13. Add installation image

14. Select the location of the image file

15. Select the version of the system to install

16. Create a new virtual machine and note that the network card mode is consistent with the server

17.PXE boots the client to start

If the IP address obtained by the client through DHCP is incorrect, you can do the following

"Edit" in the menu bar of the stand-alone virtual machine, select "Virtual Network Editor". After entering, select the network card you use, and you need to uncheck the check box "assign IP addresses to clients using local DHCP services".

18. Load boot file

19. Enter the Windows deployment Services startup interface

20. Enter authorized users and passwords

21. Select the operating system to install

twenty-two。 Install Windows
