Hi guys, here is another step-by-step tutorial with a video on how to Configure Windows Deployment Service on Windows Server 2012.

Windows deployment services is a Microsoft Server service which provides minimum administrative effort preparing Computers in your domain/Network for use.

In this tutorial we would be configuring WDS on our Server called DC1 which is also the domain controller of contoso.com.

Roles required before configuring WDS are; ADDS, DNS, DHCP
So since DC1 is already our domain controller, we have ADDS and DNS already installed. we just need to add DHCP and WDS.



 Follow  the steps below

Step 1 -  Add DHCP and WDS role from the 'add roles' intall menu

• Go to the Server Manager
• Select both roles, then click 'next' all-through till you get to Role services and thick 'Deployment Server' and 'Transport', then click finish.

Step 2 - After installing the roles. First, switch to the DHCP Console for its configuration

• There would be a notification at the right top which calls for DHCP role completion. Click it
• For 'next', then 'commit'

Step 3 - Add a DHCP scope with its appropriate IP Addresses

• Open the DHCP console from the Tools menu at the right-top of the server manager
• After the window opens, on the left pane, go for the server name, right-click and go for new scope
• A new dialog box opens up, go for new scope, specify its name and description and click 'next'

• Enter the range of IP address you prefer, precisely the class you use on your network e.g from 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.40
• Just Click ‘next’ all through, check activate scope and click 'finish' to end configuration

Step 5 -  Now switch to the WDS Console to configure it

• Open the WDS console from the Tools menu on the right-top of the server manager window
• On the left pane, go for the server domain name e.g. DC1.contoso.com, and right-click and go for configure server
• The dialog box for configuration opens up.
• Go for ‘next’ all though when you get a System volume Warning, go for ‘Yes’
• Go for ‘next’ all through, when you get to PXE Server initial settings, go for ‘Respond to all client computers known and unknown

NOTE: we selected this for practical purpose, on the field you should probably go for 'respond on to know computers'

• Go for next and then ‘finish’ 

Step 6 - Now we need to feed the ‘Install Images’ and the ‘Boot Images’ as you now see on the left pane.

• Insert your Windows 8 DVD or make the image available in ISO or a folder.
• Now right click on the Install Images, go for add, now browse for the file from your DVD.
• e.g. E:\Sources\Install.wim 
• Now go for next, thick the editions you need out of the images or select all of needed.
• Go for next and finish to add the image 

• We need to right click on the Boot Images, go for add, now browse for the file from your DVD.
• e.g. E:\Sources\boot.wim
• Go for next and finish to add the image
• Now right-click on your Server domain name e.g. DC1.contoso.com, go for all task and select ‘Start’ to start the service

Now just go to your client PC and set it the boot sequence to Network PXE boot, so it can lnstall the OS from the network.
We are done :)

Hello guys, here is a straight forward tutorial on 'How To Install and Configure DFS Namespace and Replication in Windows Server 2012'.

Before you begin this Configuration Make sure both Server computers are part of the same domain network. One would be the DFS Namespace/Repication Server and the Other server would be the Member Replication Server.

Follow the steps below gently  OR  Watch VIDEO below

I have Configured a Server computer called DC1 as a Domain controller contoso.com
I would make it my main DFS Server with the steps below;



Step 1 - Go to Server Manager to Install the DFS Namespace & DFS Replication roles under the 'File And Storage Services' Drop-down

Step 2 - After the Installation is done. Go to the right top corner in Server Manager click 'Tool' and select DFS Management (The Console opens up)

Step 3 - On the left pane, right-click on Namespace and click 'New Namespace'

• Enter the DFS Server name. E.g mine is 'DC1'
• Enter your preferred namespace name. E.g mine is 'CompanyFiles'. So my DFS Namespace would be \\Contoso.com\CompanyFiles
• Click on Edit Settings below on that same dialog box; and select 'Administrators have full access; Other users have read and write permissions'
• Go for 'next' and close.

Step 4 - Now go to the left pane and maximize the 'Namespace tab' and right-click on the new namespace we created '\\Contoso.com\CompanyFiles' and select 'New Folder'
This would create a new folder in our namespace (you can create up to 50,000+ folders as you desire for your organization)

Step 5 - On the 'New Folder' Dialog box, give the name e.g Employee and go for OK.
We are done with the DFS Namespace creation.

So now we can access the DFS through any computer on our network. Just by typing in the 'Run' dialog box - \\contoso.com\CompanyFiles

Now to Configure the DFS Replication we need to prepare the second Server, mine is 'DC2'
Make sure DC2 is a member of the domain and also has DFS Namespace and DFS Replication Installed.
NOTE: Do not configure DFS Namespace and DFS Repication again on DC2, just install the roles.

Step 6 - Now go to DC1 in the DFS Management, right-click Replication on the left pane and go for 'New Replication Group'

Step 7 -  Select 'Multipurpose replication group', go for next and type the name of your group. E.g Mine is CompanyFileReplication

Step 8 - Go for next and add your two servers. Mine is DC1 and DC2

Step 9 - Go for next and select 'Full Mesh Topology'

Step 10 - Go for next and select the 'Full' for bandwidth during replication.

Step 11 - Select your Primary Server to be DC1

Step 12 - Click add and select the folder to replicate (i would select my whole 'CompanyFile' folder)

Step 13 - Now click next and specify the Local path the file would be kept on 'DC2'

• Click Edit-> Enable -> Browse and select your preferred folder on DC2
• Click OK after selecting it.
• Click Next and Create.

Step 14 - Go to the left pane again, click on The Replication we just creatd, Mine is CompanyFileReplication. On the middle area of our DFS Management console, click in the Connection tab.

Step 15 - Right-click on DC1 and go for 'Replicate Now' and click OK.

We are Done!

Now we can access and create folders/files in the namespace we created, mine is \\Contoso.com\CompanyFiles from any computer on our network. By accessing the namesapace thought the run dialog box.
