WDS not working in build 17639
I installed the WDS Role thru server manager than I tried to configure WDS in standalone mode both thru the MMC WDS and the following command line:
wdsutil /initialize-server /reminst:"c:\reminst" /standalone
I get:
Error Code: 0x41D
Error Description: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I tried both in a VM and on a phisical server. Still impossible to start the service...
Looking forward to getting this set up myself. I get
Error Code: 0xC104013B
Error Description: The Windows Deployment Services management tools are not configured.I realize this isn't the same issue but if you think we can help each other, please feel free to respond.
- 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 serversame problem with build 17650..
I hope they fix this bug.
All my business is based on WDS/MDT/SCCM...
won't work if WDS does NOT WORK...
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
- Ok 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
still NOT WORKING in build 17666 !!!
can someone fix this PLEEEESE ???
still not working in build 17677
WDSUTIL /initialize-server /standalone /reminst:c:\reminst runs, but still gets stuck...
after reboot WDS service starts, but the MMC for WDS gets still stuck when launched.
