Lykan Posted May 26, 2011 Report post Posted May 26, 2011 Hi everyone, I am actually testing a SCCM 2012 migration and got Problems with the WDS Server ( everything else works ). Before I install the dotNet Framework 4.0 the WDS Service works fine. After Installation it throws the Error "Windows Deployment Services Server could not be started." It was tested on different states of Installation (befor .Net, befor SQL, befor SCCM) on different Maschienes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter van der Woude Posted May 26, 2011 Report post Posted May 26, 2011 Weird... Did you also try to (re-)install WDS after .NET? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boedt Posted May 27, 2011 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 DHCP and WDS on same Server? Maybe you should initialize it again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lykan Posted May 27, 2011 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 DHCP and WDS on same Server? Maybe you should initialize it again No, in my Lab Scenario I am having a Server as Domain Controller, DHCP and DNS also a SCCM 2007 Central Site a SCCM 2007 Primary Site (with disabled WDS) a SCCM 2012 Central Site a SCCM 2012 Primary Site( with WDS errors ) the SCCM 2012 Sites are on one Maschine but the Primary Site is on a Hyper-V VM.

Boedt Posted May 27, 2011 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 did you reinstall / reinitialize the WDS again? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lykan Posted May 27, 2011 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 did you reinstall / reinitialize the WDS again? Yes, i also created a brand new vm with a fresh Server 2008R2. I just joined the Maschine to the Domain rebooted it and installed the WDS Role. But the service also wont start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lykan Posted May 27, 2011 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 So my WDS is running. The mistake was that i had just one partition, on the WDS installation the RemoteInstall dir will be created on an Drive != %Systemdrive% if there is no other driver it won’t be created. To solve this i configured the WDS Server so that he is point to a RemoteInstall dir on the System drive. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
