What is WDS with windows 11 installation steps?

What is WDS with installation steps? 

Let me demonstrate a complete lab setup for you right here. Look—suppose we have a server; this is our physical server, within which we have already configured Active Directory. 


It hosts AD DS—meaning AD is running, DNS is running, and the AD DS role is active. It also requires DHCP; the DHCP services are present. With this foundation, we can proceed to configure WDS on this server. Let's explore the benefits we gain from configuring WDS. Imagine you have brought in a large number of client machines—say, 50 computers acquired from the market—on which you need to install a Windows operating system. 

This could be any Windows operating system—Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, or any other version. If you need to install the same Windows operating system on 50 or 100 computers simultaneously, doing so manually using bootable media—such as a pen drive, CD, or DVD—would be an extremely time-consuming process. It would take a significant amount of time and prove quite difficult to perform on each machine individually. Microsoft devised a solution to this problem by enabling a specific feature within their server operating systems. If we look back at Server 2003 or 2008, this feature was known as RIS (Remote Installation Services); however, starting with Server 2008 R2, it was renamed WDS—Windows Deployment Services.
