This is the message i get when i'm configuring windows deployement services in a IBM x3650 M3 server with Xeon processor.
Initially i thought that it would be a issue with network configuration, share permission and stuffs like that...
But even after checking all the possiblities the server gave me the same message. Then i went to event viewer for further digging. In Event viewer out of my luck no further information except the below.
It was giving me event id 257 repeatedly with a message "An error occured while trying to start windows deployment service" and that's it.. I ran out of ideas.
A research (googling) taught me that the wds service is not capable of handling more...
