An opportunity to deploy Windows systems using local network exists, there is nothing new here. Known way for desktop Windows systems is to perform the following steps:
WDS and MDT require fully functional install.wim (install image) to deploy an OS successfully.
WES is component system unlike traditional Windows; thus there is no fully functional install.wim.
- Setup Windows Deployment Services role on Windows Server.
- Add boot and install images.
- Boot up "boot image" using PXE.
- Select "install image" and deploy it.
The problem
The problem is you cannot initially deploy Windows Embedded Standard (WES) this way. Why?WDS and MDT require fully functional install.wim (install image) to deploy an OS successfully.
WES is component system unlike traditional Windows; thus there is no fully functional install.wim.
