ChAPTeR 1 Windows Server 2008 R2 Deployment Secrets
On the Multicast tab of the WDS servers properties, you can congure whether 3
or not you want to allow separate transfer streams. If you don’t do this, the
transmission will proceed at the speed of the slowest connection. You should
select the Separate clients into the three sessions (slow, medium, fast) option
as shown in Figure 1-3. This ensures that your transfer occurs as quickly as
possible and isn’t slowed down if one of the servers has a akey connection.
Add a boot image by right-clicking on the Boot Images node and then clicking 3
on Add Boot Image. Browse to the boot.wimle that you will add to WDS.

After you congure a WIM image so that it meets your requirements, you can add it to
the WDS server. Once the WIM image is added to the WDS server, you can deploy that
WIM image to clients that PXE boot. If you want to later modify the WIM image, you
should remove the version of it that you’ve added to the WDS server and then re-add
the updated WIM to WDS.
The default
location of the boot
.wim file is in the
sources directory
on the Windows
Server 2008 R2
installation media.
