Dear sir or mam, I have a question regarding the deployment services of Microsoft. Is it possible to load your image from a NAS whilist your WDS server is in a datacenter. This would greatly reduce the strain from steaming a image over a internet line to a certain location. I expect that the PXE has to be tweaked on where to get the boot.wim or based on DHCP scope (we have seperate scopes for every site) know where to look (since your connecting from i.e. 10.x.x.x or 20.x.x.x). So my question is what is the possibility in this matter, can we load images on site so that the data strain is less on the WAN side or is it not possible to seperate your WDS location and image location? Thanks in advance for replying and have a nice day! With kind regards, Sebastiaan

Hello, It would be better to ask them here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserversetup/threads However, for deploying images, I would recommend using SCCM and you will be able to have multiple distribution points and multiple images in them. Like that, you can deploy images for multiple locations with no problems. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
