You'd have to configure WDS manually. Basically you wouldn't configure the DP 
for PXE, and instead would configure the WDS instance manually to provide the 
ConfigMgr boot image(s) you want available. Then when they PXE boot they would 
see those boot image(s) as selections.

That's the "simple" explanation.

I believe this is correct. But, what if I want to have the ability for my techs 
to select which boot image to use (boot manager screen). Is this doable and if 
so, how?

Thank you,

Brian

If memory serves, the boot image delivered by PXE will be the boot image 
assigned to the most recent Task Sequence deployed.

Subject: [MDT-OSD] Post R2 Upgrade, PXE and default boot image selection

I have recently upgraded to R2 and have some questions around the boot images 
and task sequences. I previously came from an SP1 CU3 environment. I had full 
support setup for Windows 7 in my environment. In my environment I was using 
the default boot image created during the initial SCCM 2012 SP1 installation 
process. This boot image is now my default boot image for PXE. I recently 
created a new WinPE 5.0 boot image that I'd like to use for testing Windows 8.1 
deployments. However, I do not want to break my current PXE process as I have 
technicians actively deploying Windows 7 in my environment.

What options do I have to setup my new WinPE 5.0 boot image and still allow my 
techs to continue to deploy Win7 with the current boot image?

How do I control which boot image PXE will use? Is it the most recently 
deployed boot image? Can I enable support so we can pick and choose which boot 
image to use? IF so, how?

Thanks,

Brian
