Deploying Windows 7 with Windows Deployment Services

Windows Deployment Services (WDS) enables you to deploy Windows operating systems over the network, instead of installing each operating system directly from a CD or DVD. In this video, you'll learn how to:

• Set up WDS on a Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller or dedicated WDS server
  
• Configure WDS
  
• Add installation and boot images to the deployment share
  
• Configuring the client for PXE booting off the network
  
• Using PXE Boot Services to install Windows 7 on a bare-metal system
  
• You'll also gain an understanding of the differences between using WDS and the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), and find out where to access resources for step-by-step deployment using MDT
