if you have just installed WDS via the WAIK then you will need to configure the WDS server. To do so you can click on Start/All Programs/Administrative Tools/Windows Deployment Services.
You will most likely see the following screen
To configure it using the wizard select your server in the left pane and right click it, choose configure server.
a wizard will appear
it may ask for the path of your RemoteInstall (previous RIS installation)
The next screen is typically confusing, it says 'Windows Deployment Services must be configured to not listen on port 67 and DHCP option tag 60 (i've added bold)., so select the two unselected options before clicking next.
Configuring DHCP option 60
The default configuration of Windows Deployment Services assumes that the Microsoft DHCP server and Windows Deployment Services server are on separate physical computers. When DHCP and Windows Deployment Services exist on the same computer, DHCP must inform the client computer that there is a PXE server listening on the network by including DHCP option tag 60 in the DHCP Offer packet.
To configure DHCP option 60 using the Windows Deployment Services snap-in
On the Start menu, click Administrative Tools, and click Windows Deployment Services.
Click to expand the Servers list.
Right-click the server and click Properties.
On the Server Properties page, click the DHCP tab.
On the DHCP Options page, click Configure DHCP Option 60 to 'PXEClient'.
Additional considerations and references
To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Account Operators group, Domain Admins group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To Configure DHCP option 60 using WDSUTIL
At a command prompt, type: WDSUTIL /set-server /DHCPoption60:yes
Additional considerations and references
WDSUTIL, the Windows Deployment Services command-line management tool, requires elevated privileges to run.

Configuring port 67
Because DHCP listens on port 67 by default, when Windows Deployment Services and DHCP exist on the same computer, the Windows Deployment Services PXE server is not able to listen on port 67 for incoming PXE boot requests.
To configure port 67 using the Windows Deployment Services snap-in
On the Start menu, select Administrative Tools, and click Windows Deployment Services.
Click to expand the Servers list.
Right-click the server and click Properties.
On the Server Properties page, click the DHCP tab.
On the DHCP Options page, click Do not listen on port 67.
Additional considerations and references
To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Account Operators group, Domain Admins group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
