Lucero Posted November 26, 2011 Report post Posted November 26, 2011 Ok, not had this before. Basically, I'm doing this multiple times to try and document the pitfalls during installation. Now, still in lab7, I've noticed WDS is not started. When I start it, it fails telling me to look in the system event log. Looking there gives this message: The Windows Deployment Services Server service terminated with service-specific error This shared resource does not exist.. It's correct, I don't see any of the normal shares associated with WDS Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted November 26, 2011 Report post Posted November 26, 2011 this has been covered before in previous posts by others i'm pretty sure, but anyway try the following deselect 'enable pxe' on the dp uninstall the windows deployment service reboot re-enable PXE on the dp monitor the distrimgr.log and see what it says about the wds service does that help ?

wee_ads Posted November 27, 2011 Report post Posted November 27, 2011 I can vouch for this article working a treat... http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2011/11/08/configmgr-2012-no-need-to-manually-install-wds/ Uninstall PXE Uninstall WDS reboot server Delete the \RemoteInstall folder reboot again (for good measure) Enable PXE (and as part of this process WDS will be installed and configured accordingly). All things going well - no more WDS service "starting" problems. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
