Windows Deployment Services - Automated Image Capture and Apply

Automated Image Capture and Apply

WDS functions in conjunction with the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) to load a miniature version of Windows known as Windows PE for installation and maintenance tasks. WDS functions as both a storage repository for the PXE network boot images as well as a repository for the actual operating system images to be installed on the target computer.

When multiple boot images are available, PXE booting via WDS will present the end-user with a boot menu to select the image to load.

Famous quotes containing the words automated, image, capture and/or apply:

    Now, as always, the most automated appliance in a household is the mother.
    Beverly Jones (b. 1927)

    The true picture of the past flits by. The past can be seized only as an image which flashes up at the instant when it can be recognized and is never seen again.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    Writing prejudicial, off-putting reviews is a precise exercise in applied black magic. The reviewer can draw free- floating disagreeable associations to a book by implying that the book is completely unimportant without saying exactly why, and carefully avoiding any clear images that could capture the reader’s full attention.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    To cook a pig, apply heat; to win a lawsuit, apply money.
    Chinese proverb.
