Windows Server 2008: What's New / What's Changed Part #3 of 12: Chapter 2 - Installing Windows Server 2008

This snippet from Chapter 2 of my new book Windows Server 2008: What's New / What's Changed is brought to you by SAPIEN Press. Get your copy at http://www.sapienpress.com/Windows_Server_08.asp.

Windows Deployment Services
With Server 2008, Windows Deployment Services (WDS) has been encapsulated into an installable Role through Server Manager. Without giving too much away for the next Chapter where we talk about Roles and the installation of Roles, you can install the WDS Role just like any other on the system.

More after the fold...

Once installed, you'll need to complete an initial configuration that answers a series of questions. Those questions provide a path for the remote installation folder, initial PXE response settings, and adding initial boot and install images to your WDS server. Once complete, you'll manage WDS through Server Manager.
