Windows Server 2012 WDS and Linux Booting

windows linux windows-server-2012 wds

I've been playing with WDS for awhile now because I want to setup a network based boot system for all my business to make it quicker to load images. We use a lot of Linux based OSes and after some searching there is no mention in the documentation about Linux support.

Does WDS support Linux PXE booting?


I'm not sure how you tried to look for the documentation online about WDS and Linux, but once I Googled that I found a lot of articles that talks exactly about this topic, I liked those links:

  • Deep Dive: Combining Windows Deployment Services & PXELinux for the ultimate network boot
  • Creating a PXE Boot menu for deploying Linux with Windows Deployment Services (WDS)
