Disabling WDS PXE Boot

In

Chapter 4

, the lab deployment server was configured for PXE boot. Therefore, if your lab deployment server is on the

same network as the production deployment server shown in Figure 5.1, PXE boot on the lab deployment server will
need to be disabled to prevent conflicting responses. To disable network boot, follow these steps:

1. Launch Windows Deployment Services on the lab deployment server.
2. Expand the Servers tree and right-click the lab deployment server, then select Properties.
3. Select the PXE Response tab.
4. Select the Do not respond to any client computers option as shown in Figure 5.2 and click OK to save and exit

the server WDS properties.
