Hi Everybody,
I installed the WDS role on Windows Server 2008 R2 and impossible to function it. I also have on this same server "File Services" role and it is all. This server does not have DHCP and even less DNS.
The service 'Windows Deployment Services Server" is stopped and impossible to launch it. I looked in the event viewer and I have 2 errors with events ID 513 and 257:
For more information, my server is in the active directory domain and the folder RemoteInstall is created on the C: and the E:.
Events ID 513 :
An error occurred while trying to initialize provider WDSDDPS from C:\Windows\system32\wdsddps.dll. Windows Deployment Services server will be shutdown.
Error Information: 0x906
Events ID 257 :
An error occurred while trying to start the Windows Deployment Services server.
Error Information: 0x906
Here the tests which I tested but who did not permit me to solve my problem:
1st Test:
- To uninstall WDS Role
- Reboot of the Server
- Installation WDS Role
Always the same error that is impossible to launch WDS service and I always have the same errors with same events ID referred to above.
2nd Test:
While seeking on Internet, I found a solution which required to type this commands with beloww the results of each commands:
- wdsutil /uninitialized-server
Error Code: 0xC1040101
Error Description: An invalid command (/uninitialized-server) was specified.
- wdsutil /initialize-server /reminst:e:\WDS
Error Code: 0x7B
Error Description: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
For this command, I also tried to put on the drive C: instead of the E: but I also have the same error.
Not having been able to find other solutions, I hope that you will be able to help me to solve my problem.
Thank you.
Regards.
