Introduction <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Windows Deployment Services (WDS) is a server role in Windows Server that primarily focuses on network-based deployments using the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE). WDS enables you to perform network-based installations of Windows, and it’s often used in conjunction with MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit) for a complete deployment solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
