I have been asked to roll out 29 new Dell Optiplex workstations and thought I would share my experience working with WDS. I will be installing Windows XP Professional SP2 on all workstation and the method of choice is to install WDS on the SBS 2003 server. I first verify the I had a server running Server 2003 SP2 and in my case I used Windows Small Business Server 2003 SP2.
