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...
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

Last 2 weeks have just been a big info download as i have just moved over from linux, juju, maas and openstack after many years studying it.
I have been contemplating which platform to run a corp setup on windows server has a huge vote from me as windows you get good apps.
Never the less i think i will implemet a hybrid mix of the 2 in some sort of private cloud complicated but do able.
Any way last two weeks of serious info download to the cerebrum
I feel confident i can solve this problem with mmc and wds hanging within the next week
i will post with the solution once i debug the problem and and acquire a soloution
