Prerequisites for installing Windows Deployment Services

Your computing environment must meet the following technical
requirements to install Windows Deployment Services:

• Active Directory. A Windows Deployment Services server must be
either a member of an Active Directory domain or a domain controller
for an Active Directory domain. The Active Directory domain and forest
versions are irrelevant; all domain and forest configurations support
Windows Deployment Services.

• DHCP. You must have a working Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server with an active scope on the network because Windows
Deployment Services uses PXE, which relies on DHCP for IP addressing.

• DNS. You must have a working Dynamic Name Services (DNS) server on
the network to run Windows Deployment Services.

• An NTFS partition. The server running Windows Deployment Services
requires an NTFS file system volume for the image store.

• Credentials. To install the role, you must be a member of the Local
Administrators group on the Windows Deployment Services server. To
install an image, you must be a member of the Domain Users group.

• Windows Server 2003 SP1 with RIS installed. RIS does not have to be
configured, but must be installed.
