Having an issue with deploying windows 7 through WDS on Windows Server 2003.
I can boot to the PXE fine, have captured an image connects through DHCP fine. Capture image is on the WDS server, modified etc.
I run into an issue when actually trying to install an image to a PC. It loads, sees the boot image, appears to load the boot image, then during the "Starting Windows" screen, after about 10 seconds it throws an error. "WdsClient: There was a problem initializing wds mode"
I've tried recreating the boot image, using a discover image, all to no avail.
I know this has been asked before, most solutions seem to be based around having multiple network cards, or no drivers for them. Doesn't seem to be the issue as I can hit Shift+f10 to open the command prompt, I have an ip, can ping the WDS server by FQDN and IP. I feel as though it is an issue with my boot/capture image as it seems to loads that fine, but when it is starting the next process it breaks.
Any Thoughts?
