HI, my configuration runs on Windows Server 2008R2 with WDS Transport and DHCP role installed. it is a standalone server without Active Directory. Renaming of pxeboot.com and pxeboot.n12 doesnt work. Any booting client needs to prompt F12.

Hi, You may need AD, DNS and DHCP roles for your WDS. Please check the following items. Installing Windows Deployment Services Windows Deployment Services is included in the Windows AIK and in Windows Server 2008 R2. Prerequisites for installing Windows Deployment Services Your computing environment must meet the following technical requirements to install Windows Deployment Services: Active Directory. A Windows Deployment Services server must be either a member of an Active Directory domain or a domain controller for an Active Directory domain. The Active Directory domain and forest versions are irrelevant; all domain and forest configurations support Windows Deployment Services. DHCP. You must have a working Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server with an active scope on the network because Windows Deployment Services uses PXE, which relies on DHCP for IP addressing. DNS. You must have a working Dynamic Name Services (DNS) server on the network to run Windows Deployment Services. An NTFS partition. The server running Windows Deployment Services requires an NTFS file system volume for the image store. Credentials. To install the role, you must be a member of the Local Administrators group on the Windows Deployment Services server. To install an image, you must be a member of the Domain Users group.

Hi, Looking forward to your feedback.Technology changes life

Did you figure this out? To do this you have to configure the following file. %systemroot%\system32\wdssipr.dll.conf.ini Read the file carefully and it will tell you how to do it. Then restart you Windows Deployment service in Service. Let me know if you still need help. Thanks
