regan Posted June 24, 2015 Report post Posted June 24, 2015 ive got an issue with WDS service after working for months this week it just stopped working, i managed to limited the problem to the boot images. since then I've recreated them (8.1 ADK) and distributed both to the DP. When i tick "deploy this image from the PXE-enabled distribution point" the WDS service stops and wont start back up until i un-tick the PXE option on the boot image. Currently running R2 version 7958 In WDS I get Event ID 256 from source WDSIMGSRV cannot be found WDSIMGSRV the E:\RemoteInstall\SMSBoot folder contains the x64 and x86 folders but they are empty. I have deleted he remote install folder and removed he WDS service and and added again after a few restarted and added the boot images back in but i get the same issue.
