[wds] WDS Deployment Error

[achesterman]

Have got WDS configured and working perfectly, have added images and it all works fantastic. Expect I tried to deploy an image this morning and I get the following error "Windows cannot access the installation sources. Verify that the installation sources are accessible, and restart the installation".. I have checked the permissions and that the images are fine, and I have restarted the services and the machine, but still no luck.. Any ideas?

I did however I cant rember how I fixed it! Have you tried uninstalling the service and reinstalling it? Also it is worth checking that the drivers for your network card exist in your installation image!

We found out why in the end, the laptops we were trying to install the image on were old laptops that only had 256MB of memory. WDS needs at least 512MB on the clients.
