It sounds like what you need to do is to recreate your RemoteInstall folder. This will regenerate the boot files and the required directories while providing a working default configuration.


How to rebuild the RemoteInstall folder:

You can rebuild the RemoteInstall folder by doing the following:

  1. Remove WDS role from the server.

Remove the WDS role Removed

  1. Remove the folder share on your current RemoteInstall folder.

Remove file share

If you do not unshare the folder, you will get the following error:

File share already exists

So, don't forget to remove the folder share before you configure the server!

  1. Rename (incase you need some of the images files still) or remove the folder.

  1. Install the WDS role back to the server.

Install WDS server role

Role installed

  1. Configure the server.

After the server configuration has completed you will have a new RemoteInstall folder. Here is the output of a server 2016 RemoteInstall folder right after the configuration of the WDS role on the Server.
