Use both PXELinux and WDS on same network
Hello everyone,
I have a Windows Server 2008 running WDS in native mode, DNS, and DHCP, and an Ubuntu sever running PXELinux. Is there a way to first boot PXELinux then be able to switch to the WDS server through a menu option on the PXELinux server? I want to do this so that i can use all of the tools and linux installers I have setup on the PXELinux server, and be able to instal a version of Windows. Thanks.

"Any reason why you do not want to run everything from one source, pxelinux or wds?
The boot images are downloaded through TFTP and the PXE client does not care whether the TFTP server that provides the image is linux or windows based."
arnold, that would be a better idea, do you know how I would do that on the linux box thru pxelinux? Thanks.

Are you looking to the DHCP option 66,68 pointing to the PXElinux. Where you have options. And then you want the BOOTP client redirected to the WDS?
