Windows 10 provisioning with WDS in ipv6 network

Question

Hi All,

  I am trying provision windows 10 from a WDS in ipv6 network using lnboot commnd in UEFI shell.  Here are the details of the configuration.

I have followed http://jaredheinrichs.com/how-to-setup-wds-windows-deployment-services.html

1) We have installed WDS without DHCPv6 , as there is already DHCVPv6 server available in the network.
2) I have allowed all the PXE clients for the response.
3) I have unchecked off "Do not listen on DHCP and DHCPv6 ports" and "Configure DHCP options for Proxy DHCP "

with that configuration I am able to see following action with the below lanboot command
lanboot -ipv6 -sip <Global unique address> -b \boot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi

1) Both Global and Local unique address of WDS sever are pingable from client machine in UEFI shell using "ping -6" command.
2) after initiating above lanboot command, I am seeing offers from DHCPv6 and WDS servers.
3) NBP file (wdsmgfw.efi) has been downloaded and starts being executed.
4) Wdsmgfw.efi trying to contact the server with global unique address of the WDS server which we have provided in the lanboot.
4) soon later ended up with error 0xc0000001 .

Could some one help me out.

1) Does any specific configuration related to ipv6 need to be set in WDS configuration.
2) Does wdsmgfw.efi vary for ipv4 and ipv6 network

Looking forward for your help.

Thanks,
Harinath

Hi,

WDS is not yet supported in the Q&A forums, the supported products are listed over here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products (more to be added later on).

You can ask the experts in the dedicated Setup Deployment forum over here:

Hi,

As you mentioned errer 0xc0000001, please follow these steps:

1. Create the following registry value on your WDS server. Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WDSServer\Providers\WDSTFTP Name: {NamePII} Type: ({NAMEPII}_DWORD) Value: 512 Base: (Decimal)
2. Restart WDS service on your WDS server.
3. Here's an official document for reference:

Hi CherryZhangShanghaiWicresoft-0389,

I tried to do as you suggested, but I did not find proper parameters to set like that.
However I resolved the issue.
