Configure DHCP for WDS
I have WDS role setup and added image from Windows 7 SP1.
But when I boot up a laptop off PXE it never sees the WDS server so I can't do any install or capture image process.
My DHCP server is on another server and I'm not sure what I have to do to get it configured.
Do I just set option 66 and type in the fully qualified server name of the WDS server?
Not sure if I'd need option 67 set. A MS article says option 67 should be set to boot\x86\wdsnbp.com, but do I put in \\WDSservername\c$\boot\x8

Yeah there might something I'm missing then.
I ran the command from that thread (wdsutil /set-server /usedhcpports:yes) and tried booting up a laptop again but it said something about didn't respond 4011 or something and then Selected boot device failed.
Maybe it has something to do with the laptop being on 10.3.11 subnet while the DHCP and WDS servers are on 10.3.100

I went into DHCP server and set the scope options (066 to the computer.domain.com, and 067 to boot\x86\wdsnbp.com)
Rebooted laptop off Nic but still nothing.
Is the UDP port 4011 a DHCP thing or for firewall port forwarding?

Ok I noticed option 60 was checked for HP thin clients we used, but are not using the Device manager at this time for pxe booting.
I unchecked it and rebooted the laptop, now it's connected I think. Says Pending Request ID: 1 message from Administrator

I am pretty sure that it wants UDP traffic on port 4011 routed to the WDS server because the lease address will be on a different subnet than the WDS server.

Had to figure out the Delegate thing in Active Directory so I can approve it.
Going to see if it works now

Yeah it seems to all be working fine now. Didn't have to do anything with the port 4011
K. Awesome! Glad to be of help, if I was at all!
Our WDS is on the DHCP server - runs flawlessly.
I will let you know if I find anything.
