You can also specify whether a
WDS server needs to be authorized in DHCP before it
is allowed to service clients. By default, authorization
is not required in DHCP.
CREATING AN OPERATING SYSTEM IMAGE FOR WDS
Now that the server is ready and prepped to accept new images and PXE clients, your
first major task will be to create an image of an OS for use with WDS. Three different
image types can be created using WDS: Capture, Discover, and Install images. Capture
boot images launch the Image Capture Wizard, which is used to create an Install image

of a volume on a reference system and, if desired, upload it to WDS server. Discover images
are used to boot non-PXE-capable systems into the WDS client. You can think of the
Discover image as a bootable image to get you into the WDS.
Technically, plain boot images aren??™t created but are supplied with your Windows
Vista and Windows Server 2008 installation media. These WIM files are used to launch
the setup environment for the OS. When you install WDS from scratch, no boot images
are available; you need to load each one before continuing with any of the following
exercises in this chapter.
Hands-On Exercise: Adding a Boot Image
Although the most trivial of all the actions, this is the most crucial, since without having
any boot images on your WDS server, you cannot create any other type of image.
