Table 5-1. WDS Installation Requirements
Requirement Description
Active Directory
Domain Services
(AD DS)
You shouldn??™t install WDS on your domain controller
for security reasons, but your WDS server must be
either a domain controller or a member server of an
Active Directory domain. It doesn??™t matter what the
domain or forest functional levels are.
Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol
(DHCP)
For PXE boot to work, you must have a service to issue
IP addresses to your clients. This is the role of your
DHCP server. Unlike RIS, you don??™t have to authorize
WDS in DHCP. This is beneficial not only from a
technical aspect but also from a political one, especially
if the team managing WDS is different from the team
managing DHCP. Microsoft refers to ???a fragmentation of
the PXE environment,??? when multiple teams within an
organization are responsible for the same environment,
which can sometimes lead to ownership issues.
