Windows Deployment Services
Windows Deployment Services (WDS) is included in Windows Server 2003 SP2. You can integrate
the SSTK with the WDS Server Components, which include a Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE)
server.
An advantage of using WDS for network boot is that a boot menu is automatically configured
when more than one SSTK boot image is added.
To configure WDS, see the Microsoft TechNet Windows Deployment Services Update Step-by-Step
Guide for Windows Server 2003 at:

After WDS is configured, add an SSTK boot image by following these steps:
1. Start Windows Deployment Services.
2. Click to expand the Servers list, then click the server to which you want to add the image.
3. Right-click the Boot Image node, then click Add Boot Image.
4. On the Image File page, browse to the location of the image created by the mkbootimg.cmd
script. Click Open to continue.
