Talk:WDSLINUX
From Syslinux Wiki
Nice walktrough, a few updates:
- In the WDS included in Windows Server 2008 R2 the UI changed, you could not set the the default boot program. Thus to change the boot program to pxelinux.com, the wdsutil command line tool has to be used:
wdsutil /set-server /bootprogram:boot\x86\pxelinux.com /architecture:x86
wdsutil /set-server /N12bootprogram:boot\x86\pxelinux.com /architecture:x86
(do this also for x64 if you have x64 clients also)
- to use the AbortPXE option specified in the default config file, make a copy from abortpxe.com and rename it to abortpxe.0 in the $arch folder also
- Perhaps it was my fault, but I could not set up GParted in a way that it gets the squashfs file using tftp. The result was Access Violation. Maybe it is related to the fact, that the new version of WDS does not like / just \, see: WDS/PXE/TFTP Access Violation Error Message on Windows Server 2008
