How do i set up Pxe boot

[mirojr]

Hiya

 

 

How do i set up Pxe boot for something like thinstation.

 

I already have WDS server running and have used PXE within that context. Would I need to install anything new?

Is there a tftp root folder somewhere within server 2008 if i have WDS setup?

Do i need a seperate tftp setup on a linux box?

 

 

I am a bit lost, thought it would be easier to ask here.

 

Anyone help with this?

 

Thanks

The way you'd do it is to introduce a new PXE system basically, with a menu of options - one of which is pointing at the WDS one, and the other being the linux related stuff.

I'd definately recommend this method, it is very useful for us indeed.
