WDS Chapter 4 - Deploy Windows 10 from WDS

4. Deploy Windows 10 from WDS

4-1. Prepare Client Virtual Machine

Setup the "Network" to the top of the boot order because we need to use the PXE function.


4-2. Deploy Windows 10

Turn the client virtual machine
Press "F12" when the message appear

Now the machine is connecting to the WDS server (10.0.0.3) and loading the file "boot.wim"

Select "English (New Zealand)", click "Next"

Type "JamesLab\sysop" (domain name + administrator name) in the user name textbox
Type password for the administrator
CLick "OK"

Select the version of windows we want to install
Click "Next"

Click "Next"

Installing

When the previous step finish, it will restart automatically. It will display the message "Press F12". Do not touch any key at this page. Then it will go into the windows setup page as below.
PS: Why the press F12 message appear? 
Remember we set up the boot order at the virtual machine is 
1.Network, 
2. Optical, 
3. Hard drive. 
We don't click "F12" for the second time, it will get to the hard drive then boot because option 1 and 2 are skipped.

Processing

Setup the country and language and keyboard, click "Next"

Select "Do this later" at the left bottom because we just do a lab for testing

Click "Accept"

Click "Use express settings"

Type user name "user1" (must be this one because we will use it for the unattended deployment)
type password and click "Next"

This won't take long
