Same here cant get the wds server to start when I use the gui when I go to initiate the server it freezes
I have tried on a fresh install and as a standalone install with no other roles in the error log it just says cant start server

Ok i mangaged to get the the wds service running in services.
Cant remeber exactly how i got it to work iam trying to replicate the steps to get the services running
still a issue with the mmc console when trying to configure the server it keeps freezing
but atleast the service is running when i find and replicate i will share my findings
- kirk macdonaldMay 04, 2018Copper ContributorOk there seems to be a bug in mmc and wds as it crashes.
You can get wds to work as I have successfully deployed a window 10 with wds but you have to initiate and set all server boot locations dhcp settings server authorised allow all connections and all the configuration you would normally do using mmc in the terminal using wdsutil when you set the param make sure you stop the server using wdsutil command and when set params make sure you use verbose to see if you run into problems
I had running on same server as dhcp and a vm with out dhcp wdsutil needs different commands dependent on your config.
But as it stands wds does not work with mmc and can only be configured and run using wdsutil in term or power.
When I get up I will post a link of a site I found with the wdsutil commands that you will need to get it going- kirk macdonaldMay 04, 2018Copper Contributorhere is the link for the wdsutil commands
