Just to clarify: wdsutil.exe does not require PowerShell. I just happen to like PowerShell.

Wdsutil.exe is pretty complete. Not all, though. Regards, Michael B.

I don't think telnet protocol is used at all. On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 9:05 PM, Jimmy Tran <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: My WDS server is running. However on my drive home from work, I realized my WDS server was installed on a machine in the DMZ. This is probably not ideal. I will try installing on a server on the same subnet. Should I be able to telnet into the WDS server on port 4011?

The WDS server is running. My experience with it has been once you get the DHCP stuff set, it just runs. Except when the WDS server doesn't start, which happens occasionally, and I just manually start the service.

I also checked the box to require approval for unknown computers.

I think I have everything setup properly. I have my server options 60, 66, 67 configured on my DHCP server. However when I attempt to PXE boot from a machine, I get the following error: PXE-E55: ProxyDHCP service did not reply to request on port 4011. I do successfully get an IP address. All machines are on the same subnet. Any help is appreciated.
