I am installing wds on a windows 2008 64 bit OS. and when ever I intall the pxe role (sccm 2007 r3) the wds services never starts. Are there any issues with sccm 2007 r3 and windows 2008.

When you install WDS on the server do not configure it. If you configure it then try to install the pxe role you will run into this issue Have you looked at these articles? http://blogs.technet.com/b/smsandmom/archive/2008/09/17/configmgr-2007-troubleshooting-pxe-service-point-issues-and-wds-service-not-starting.aspx http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/configmgrosd/thread/4f21dc89-c4ca-4546-9e7f-37acfe062a76 Kind Regards, Tom Ziegler http://www.sccmguy.com | Twitter @Tom_Ziegler
