Configuring Server Properties Using wdsutil
| Set | |
|---|---|
Configure DHCP option for PXE support.
wdsutil /set-server /dhcpoption60:yes | no C:\>wdsutil /dhcpoption60:yes | Specifies whether DHCP option 60 should be configured for preboot execution enabled (PXE) support.
The example sets the option to yes.
Tip If DHCP and Windows Deployment Services are running on the same server, set this option to yes and set the /usedhcpports option to no. |
Use DCHP ports.
wdsutil /set-server /usedhcpports:yes | no C:\>wdsutil /set-server /usedhcpports:yes | Specifies whether the WDS server should use the DHCP port, port 67.
If DHCP and Windows Deployment Services are running on the same computer, you should set this option to no to enable the DHCP server to use the port, and set the /DhcpOption60 parameter to yes. Figure 33-5 shows these settings in the WDS server properties page. |
Name prestaged computers with MAC.
wdsutil /set-server /prestageusingmac:yes | no C:\>wdsutil /set-server /prestageusingmac:yes | This setting specifies whether Windows Deployment Services should use the MAC address rather than the GUID/UUID when creating computer accounts in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). |
Configure PXE settings.
[/answerclients:{all | known
| none}]
wdsutil /set-server
/answerclients:all | known |
none
C:\>wdsutil /set-server
/answerclients:known | Specifies which clients this server will answer. If you set this value to known, a computer must be prestaged in AD DS before it will be answered by the Windows Deployment Services server. Figure 33-6 shows these settings in the WDS Server properties page. |
