Hi there,

I ran into an issue where I was unable to start the WDS service on a newly installed SCCM 2012 SP1 server running on Windows Server 2012. The following Errors were experienced in the application log on the SCCM 2012 distribution point server. Any solution for this ?

Thanks !

Hello,

 

You can try following steps to solve the issue and check it if the error message goes after that:

Install WDS Role.

• Open the registry and go to the HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesWDSServerProvidersWDSPXEUseDhcpPorts  =  0

• Run this command: wdsutil /initialize-server /reminst:D:RemoteInstall

And after that run following command:

• wdsutil /Set-Server /UseDHCPPorts:No /DHCPOption60:Yes
