I have installed WDS on a SCCM 2012 server (but did not configure it). Then I enabled PXE on the SCCM DP. I have also installed MDT 2012 and created 2 custom boot images for x64 and x86 architectures. Both have PXE check box ticked in the properties and both are uploaded to the DP. However, the WDS service will not start and there is the following 2 errors in event viewer:

I have successfully been PXE booting machines on the network previously via the default boot images in SCCM. However, I uploaded a driver to the x64 boot image and since then was not able to PXE boot machines. This has now led me down a path of uninstalling the PXE role, uninstalling WDS, re-installing WDS and then enabling PXE on the DP. I have re-installed MDT and added custom MDT boot images. I managed to PXE boot once before the WDS service started playing up again. Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks.
