Hi there, This is rather tricky as you need sighted assistance for this. Usually one would press f12 until you get to the deployment center screen whilst the machine is powering on. Not sure if this is a standard hotkey or if it could be configured in WDS. From there its a matter of optionally entering your credentials and choosing the image you'd like to deploy I too would be interested in any ways people have come up on this list to deploy images via WDS without sighted assistance. But I guess if one is a sys admin, all one needs to do is ensure that the image is ready for deployment and let people in desktop support roll it out.

Hi Lukasz, We already have some images up there. we have a win 2008 R2 WDS Server and we distribute Win 10 Version 1803 images so that should work pretty well. at the moment i wonder how should i pxe boot or boot so the pc receives the image.

Hi Simon, i was using WDS under Win Server 2008 r2 to deploy Windows 7 machines about a year ago, so some things below might have changed. The interface on the server side was pretty accessible and the only problematic part was actually capturing and then deploying the images. Ive used a boot.wim from Windows 10 dvd as my boot image in WDS. At the time it was necessary to use insider versions, because the build which was a stable version back then has no narrator included in the install image. From my experience it doesnt matter what version of Windows is being imaged and deployed as long as the architecture of the boot image matches the architecture of the system you want to deploy. The more problematic part was actually capturing an image, because when creating a capture image from Win 10 boot image there was no speech. Ive worked around that by booting standard boot image, starting narrator, pressing Shift+f10 to open a command prompt and launching capture wizard from there by typing WDSCapture.exe, If anything is unclear please ask Hope this helps and sorry for my English Lukasz On Thu, 9 Aug 2018 12:43:35 +0000 Eigeldinger Simon <simon.eigeldinger@hohenems.at> wrote:
Hi all,
We have a WDS server where some images are stored for some of our computers. is someone using wds as well on this list and could tell me how to use it as a blind person?
