WDS and PXE

I'm trying to set up WDS on server2008r2. the dhcp server is runnning server 2003. I have option 66 enable pointing to 172.18.4.23 and option 67 boot\x64\boot.wim
when i try to boot up a client to install the first instance to build my company image i get a TFTP open timeout.
i have tried everything that i can find and nothing is getting me any closer to success.
Not sure if this will help or not but I also had a linuxpxe sent up on this network that was working until i switch the options 66 and 67 to coincide with the windows instead of the linux box. but in attempt to put it back the way it was so linux can boot
on our zero clients i get the same TFTP timeout error.
Oh did i mention that this is the first time wds is being used in this enviroment so no one really know how to set it up to get it to work. there are vlans on the network but one thing at a time.

Hi TCUTech,
You can try the following simlar thread solution first.

SCCM 2012 R2, DHCP and WDS and PXE same server

hi
I am using DHCP and PXE on same server and getting error PXE-E55: proxyDHCP did not reply to request on port 4011

HI,
To get WDS and DHCP to work on the same machine, you need to configure WDS to share the same server as DHCP, here is how it is done.
You must have a functioning DHCP server with an active scope. WDS will utilize PXE which requires a DHCP server.
Whether you plan to co-host WDS and DHCP on the same server or use two different servers you must configure WDS to listen on a specific port. DHCP and WDS both require port number 67. If you have co-hosted WDS and DHCP you can move DHCP or the PXE site role
to a separate server or use the procedure below to configure the WDS server to listen on a different port.
Modify the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WDSServer\Providers\WDSPXE
Set the registry value to:
UseDHCPPorts = 0
For the new configuration to take effect run the following command on the co-located DHCP and WDS server:
WDSUTIL /Set-Server /UseDHCPPorts:No /DHCPOption60:Yes

WDS, DHCP and WSUS on same server, Virtuals find WDS and start up process, Physicals get PXE-X55 error.

I have a Windows 2012 R2 server that has the WSUS, WDS and DHCP roles installed. I also have a SCVMM (Win2012R2) server on different machine and it has been connected to the WDS server
Followed many different guides on the internet to configure the WDS server but if I have option 60 configured the virtual machines will find and do a PXE boot successfully, but the physical systems will fail with a E55 error.
I take out option 60 and both fail.
Did I miss a niggly bit some where?

Have you tried this (from article):
Custom-made Option 60 – String – PXEClient
Predefined Option 66 – IP or Hostname of the WDS Server (in our case 10.150.150.1)
Predefined Option 67 – boot\x86\wdsnbp.com
and this in WDS properties:
and
Many people remark this as solution:

PXE, WDS and DHCP Option 66 and 67 PXE-M0F: Exiting

Hello,
I have configured DHCP options 66 and 67 to point to my site server running WDS and SCCM 2012 R2 with a DP with PXE enabled.
My DHCP server is on 10.1.54.199 and my sccm server is on 10.1.184.60 whilst my client is on 10.1.141.245. I have set the options in DHCP to 10.1.184.60 and SMSBoot\x86\wdsnbp.com
When i boot my client I get
Client MAC:xxxx GUID:xxxxxClient IP: 10.1.141.245, MASK: 255.255.254.0, DHCP IP: 10.1.54.199Gateway IP: 10.1.140.1TFTP.PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
Can anyone offer any help on where to begin troubleshooting this? Previously this has all worked but the server was recently moved to a new IP address and VLAN where IP helpers are not configured. This method worked a treat for us in 2007 but for whatever
reason not in 2012?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gerry, Yes When I added the second DP to the All DPs Distribution Point Group it then went and distributed some 70 or so packages, among these were the boot images. I just double checked and the second DP is listed in the content locations tab for both
boot images.
Hi Jason,
Not yet but when i tried this earlier (16:00 ish where I am) the date modified time of the log had not changed (it reported sometime like 14:30). I will have a look in the log... It has indeed changed...
It seems to be looping through a process of:
Begin Validation of Certificate thumbprint...
Completed Validation of Certificate thumbprint...
PXE Client Certificate Valid...
Purging Old Images 0...
Purging Old Images 0...
There are a few lines above from a few hours earlier (when i installed the second DP and enabled PXE) where it shows it adding files to install que, No errors though. Further up the log I can see errors...

I am not sure if the above is relevant but it is the only stuff marked red in cmtrace in SMSPXE thats around the timeframe where I was testing it earlier today.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: I dont think I have imported the web server certificate on the second DP or configured IIS to use this cert for https, I am guessing that is what these error are all about? Not sure why this would effect PXE though especially as it should be getting the
content from the first DP. I will crack on sorting this cert problem tomorrow and see if it fixes the issue I am having with PXE with no IP Helper.
EDIT 2: I also changed the DHCP option 67 from SMSBoot\x86\wdsnbp.com to SMSBoot\\x86\\wdsnbp.com. It may have been the \\ in here that also helped solve my problem.

Hotfix loaded but didn't help.
Found a few articles referring to rebuilding the perf counter library. I ran "lodctr /R" failed first time then worked the second time. I believe the errors:

Do you think I might have to uninstall WDS and reinstall? "Using SCCM console to just remove PXE"

WDS and authentication

We have 1200 APs configured with mobility networks (mGRE tunnels terminated on a WLSM). The APs are pointed at the WLSM WDS and pass their authentication requests to the WLSM acting as the WDS using WLCCP. However, these APs also provide wireless access to the local wired networks. This can be configured, but it appears that all authentication requests go via the WDS (i.e. all locally configured RADIUS servers for local network authentication are ignored).
The WLSM Deployment Guide suggests that it is possible to have "WDS" and "non-WDS" SSIDs coexist. The consequence is that the availability of the WDS (on the WLSM) becomes critical, even for APs which could authenticate local wireless users through RADIUS servers configured directly on the AP.

WDS checks its local list for authentication . If the Mac address is not present it uses configured Radius server for authentication. Make sure Mac address is either in the Local list or Radius server. If you are using Radius server make sure Mac address is configured as user

WDS and MDT

I setup my WDS and MDT Deployment and the image booms out at TFTP and never gets to the menu screen.

Hi dektame,
Some required information are needed for us to help you. A screen shoot would be appreciated.
By the way, if you mean you stuck in TFTP step, you need check if imported right boot image to WDS.

WDS and Roaming with 1130AG APs

Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could provide me with some insight into a configuration scenario i'm facing:
Our office is situated in an old building and as such , wireless range is an issue as the walls are very thick and we have a mixture of clients from Laptops to android devices to iPhones that require access.
we have 2 goals (first 2 are more important)
1. to be able to roam anywhere in the building and pickup the wireless (fast roaming isn't really that necessary as voice isn't utilised)
2. to have only 1 SSID for corporate access - Corp VLAN
3. to have an SSID for guests to access - Guest VLAN
The VLANs aren't an issue, i have an 1130AG setup which already has 2 SSIDs which does what i need.
My main concern is around roaming, and i've read a lot about WDS, but this needs an external radius server, i've seen the articles that describe how to set up an AP as WDS and then add Infrastructure APs
I've also seen that you can simply configure each AP exactly the same, but with different channells.
I have 4 1130AGs at my disposal.
What would you guys suggest is my best solution?
Any help would be gratefully received.

To get the best roaming, you need to make sure you have enough coverage. That usually means a good site survey was performed to specify how many access points and the locations of the access point. Without this piece, there is no guarantee of roaming.
As far as WDS, you can setup an autonomous ap as a WDS server that is either dedicated as a WDS or is a WDS server and also serves clients.

WDS AND WLSE

Hi all , one we have set up the wds, what would happen if my wlse device broke? would this take down my wds service ?

Sorry I forgot to answer this.
As I mentioned, WLSE is just monitoring.
Only If WLSE is being used as Radius server, then the NEW authentications might fail.
"Might", because remember that WDS will try to cache the credentials, for example, for roaming.
But sometimes it cache it for a long time. And additionally the current authenticated users will still be associated and authenticated. So only if a new user trys to associate and authenticate, you will notice that the authentication is not working.
Now, the other possibility is that you are using a backup WDS and or backup radius server. So everything will keep working as expected.

WDS and Unattended queries/clarification (Server 2012)

Hi Folks
I am studying for my 70-411 exam and have a few points that I would like clarification on relating to unattended installations and WDS:
1: When you create an unattend.xml for the 'Windows Deployment Services client’, in SIM which image do you need to base this on?
Do you just use the install.wim from the server iso?
2: Are both a WDSClientUnattend and a ClientUnattend mandatory for unattended to work?
For example if you only want to automate the image settings but not the settings pre-image selection (such as usename/password to connect to WDS) can you specify only a ClientUnattend?
3: Can disk partitions be set in the ClientUnattend or do these have to be in the WDSClientUnattend file?
Thanks in advance.

1. The WDS Client itself is based on "boot.wim" from a preferably new OS. For instance if you plan to deploy Windows Server 2012R2 or Windows 8.1, you need to have a 6.3 version of the boot.wim, either from the 2012R2 server iso, or Windows 8.1
iso (it doesn't actually matter). You can deploy e.g. windows 7 from the 6.3 boot.wim aswell, but not the other way around.
2. The WDSClientUnattend is for the "WDS Client" part, that means you should specify settings here on "how you want to perform the installation", e.g. which edition of Windows to install (Server standard, or Server Enterprise...), to
which DISK (and how to partition it), credentials to connect to WDS share (remoteinstall$ on WDS), and also what language and keyboard settings to use during setup. If you don't specify this, you can still specify an unattend.xml file for an install Image,
that is settings relevant to a specific image only. So you can decide to do either of them, or both.
3. This needs to be done in WDSClientUnattend, that is "1 - WinPE-phase". You can see this phase as the first phase Before first reboot, that is lang settings, partition settings, image selection, and then copying of files. Upon next reboot, and
not Before is when you reach the next Phase, that is "4 - Specialize"

WAP321 - No WDS and Single Point Setup

Hi folks
I bought 3 WAP321s with the intention of creating a fairly wide network in a large building where I can't easily add wiring. Access was to be via a captive portal where I would create logins for all of the users. However since I have bought the devices I discover that it isn't possible to use both WDS and clusters at the same time. I have connected 2 devices by WDS by duplicating settings by hand in both but I have some questions that maybe some folks can answer?
1. Do I have to copy both the captive portal design and the username and logins to each of the 3 devices for this to work? (I think that I do now)
2. In the manual under the WDS discussion there is talk of both point to point and point to multipoint setups. It seems to imply that with point to multipoint then there is a single WAP handling the client associations. In that case does only one WAP handle the logins by captive portal? I am trying to avoid having to duplicate the logins on all devices.
3. How do you decide in WDS if you are point to point or point to multipoint? Is it just the number of connections that you have on the WDS setup page?
An alternative if I am desperate is to use RADIUS but I am trying to avoid that
Just for reference I have already read the manual for the WAP321 several times as well as watching the video on WDS setup
Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard, thank you for using our forum, my name is Luis I am part of the Small business Support community.
1 and 2. It isn't necessary to copy the same captive portal configuration for all the equipment, you should just configure the central WAP and the rest will receive the Captive portal.
3. In the point-to-multipoint bridge mode, one WAP device acts as the common link between multiple access points. In your case if you are connecting two WAPs to one that is a multipoint bridge.
I hope you find this answer useful
Greetings,

What series or type of Linksys Router that had WDS and Repeater ?

Alo guys, i've been wondering about which type of linksys router had WDS and Reapeter. I need it to expand my wireless network at home.

I already had WRT150N, but the problem is my WRE54G is broken and know i had to wait for my replacement, but when i search on the internet, i found there is an extra fitur on the router which is called WDS and repeater and maybe i think linksys router had one of these.

What is the difference between WDS and Extending a network?

What is the difference between the two? Why choose one over the other?

Both the WDS and "Extend a wireless network setting will add more coverage area to a wireless network.
WDS must be used if any device on the network is an older "g" device. The downsides to WDS are that it drops the overall wireless speed down to "g" levels (even if there are other newer "n" routers on the network) and cuts the bandwidth capability of the network in half for each "remote" device that is added to the network. That's a really severe loss in performance.
"Extend a wireless network" is a newer technology that can be used only if all of the routers on the network are newer "n" capable devices. It allows full "n" speeds and imposes only a small bandwidth penalty on the network. Obviously, this is the setup to use if your devices will support the technology.

WDS and Surface Pro 2

I have a Windows Deployment Server and I am using Windows ADK to load essential drivers onto my boot/install images.
I downloaded the latest Surface Pro 2 driver pack and used DISM to load drivers on to an offline boot image from a Windows 8.1 ISO. I then un-mount the image and load it onto my WDS server.
My problem is the Surface Pro 2 won't pxe boot into my Windows Deployment Server. When I PXE boot, it displays media present and then waits for user input to start PXE over IPv4. I press enter but it times out and then prompts for IPv6 (no error given) when
that times out it boots the machine into windows.
I had been successfully imaging Surface Pro tablets from this deployment server using the same methods, but we recently got in the Surface Pro 2 and I haven't been able to get it working.
I have the latest version of MDT installed but I'm not that familiar with it. When we first started deploying tablets I had attempted to create boot wims with MDT but I never got it working and decided just to use the WADK and DISM.
Any ideas on what I could try next?

I am running WDS on Windows server 2008 R2.
I am using a Type Cover 2 from Microsoft.
I am using the Microsoft Surface Ethernet Adapter. I loaded the drivers for the adapter into the boot image as well as the other drivers from the February driver pack.
Thank you for your response.

WDS and DHCP Disabled

I have been unable to configure any AirPort Express, or AirPort Extreme, to function in WDS mode with DHCP disabled. I have an existing wired router running DHCP. After connecting one AX via Ethernet to the router, disabling DHCP on that AX and then adding one or two AXes to the wireless network via WDS, computers joining this network do not receive IP addresses. The hardware topology is that the existing wired router acts as the DHCP server through the Ethernet-connected AX, whereas other AXes are connected as WDS basestations. Macs can join the AirPort network but fail to get IP addresses from the DHCP server.
I suspect that in WDS mode, the AXes do not function in bridge mode, failing to pass on IP address requests from the wirelessly connected Macs.
Macs connecting wirelessly to a single AirPort Express set up with DHCP disabled, but WDS disabled also, have no difficulty receiving an IP address.
I frequently set up similar WiFi networks using Linksys WiFi access points without difficulty, but I've never been able to configure two or more AirPort Expresess to conect to an existing network via WDS unless DHCP is enabled.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Don
I am getting PXE-E53 : No Boot image received. I believe my problem is my Client is in different IP range (10.1.18.1-255) and both DHCP and WDS is in (10.20.1.1-255)
In my environment I cannot change the Router configurations to point to some specific server. Do I just need to specify the option 66, 67 in DHCP or there is more to it.
Please advise
Regards
Sid
