I tried the absolut path(C:\Windows\System32\wdsutil.exe). I added C:\Windows\System32\ to Enviroment Variables. Can somebody help me out? Regards

Possibly UAC? Are you running those scripts as elevated admin?

Hello, Thanks for your reply. I disabled UAC but it didn't help. I confirm I have installed Windows Deployment Services because when i manually run WDSUtil from the command line it works. Hope you can help me out.

I found the problem. PHP is default 32 bit and WDSUtil is not 32 bit it is 64 bit. I installed a 64 bit PHP and now it works. Thanks everybody!
