Hey,

I'm having some fun with Windows Deployment Services at the moment.
I've just installed a fresh copy of Window2003 RC2, then I applied
SP2. I've installed Windows Deployment Services... Now, I've read
some articles on how to get it in to mixed mode (as I use XP at work)
they say to run this command while the server is in uninitialize
mode. OK so I run:-

wdsutil /initialize-server /reminst:"D:\RemoteInstall"

And then reboot and run:-

wdsutil /get-server /show:config

And whey hey still in Native mode! Grrrr.

Anyone know why this could be?
 
Re: Windows Deployment Services

OK just as I posted this I found the solution.

You need to do this :)

1. On the Deployment Server, start a command prompt and type the
following command

wdsutil /uninitialize-server

2. Run risetup (or start menu -> administrative tools -> Windows
Deployment Services Legacy) and add a Windows Server 2003 SP1 image

3. In the command prompt, type the following command (change the
reminst location to match your environment)

wdsutil /initialize-server /reminst:"D:\RemoteInstall"

Hope that helps anyone who has been having any problems.
