Windows Server 2003

To completely install Windows Deployment Services on a computer running Windows Server 2003, you must first install RIS. After RIS is installed, you install the Windows Deployment Services update or Windows Server 2003 SP2 (which contains the update). The Windows AIK also includes the Windows Deployment Services update, which you can install on any server after extracting the file from the Windows AIK media.

To install RIS on Windows Server 2003, perform the following steps:

1. In the Add Or Remove Programs utility in Control Panel, click Add/Remove Windows Components.
2. Select the check box next to Remote Installation Services and then click Next.

Note In Windows Server 2003 SP2, the Remote Installation Services feature is named Windows Deployment Services.

To install the Windows Deployment Services update, perform the following steps:

1. Run the Windows Deployment Services update from the Windows AIK. The file is windows-deployment-service-update-platform.exe, where platform is either x86 or x64, and is found in the WDS folder on the Windows AIK DVD. (If you have already installed SP2 for Windows Server 2003, you do not need to perform this task.)
2. On the Windows Deployment Services Setup Wizard Welcome page and click Next.
3. On the Microsoft Software License Terms page, click I Accept The Terms In The License Agreement. Click Next.
4. The Updating Your System page displays installation progress.
5. On the Completion page, click Finish to restart the computer.

Note Unless you plan to use Riprep legacy images, you can proceed with the configuration of Windows Deployment Services at this point. To enable Windows Deployment Services mixed mode, ensure that you do not install this update until at least one Riprep image is installed on the RIS server.
