by Had an issue recently where the Windows team needed to remotely re-image a server with WDS, but they didn't have DHCP/PXE servers in that data center. We did have a Linux server running dhcpd for our Linux builds though. We wanted to figure out a way to get the remote server PXE-booted from the Linux DHCP server and then do the rest of the image install through the WDS server in another data center.
After some searching, experimentation, and several semi-blind shots in the dark, we got it to work with these values specified in the custom host entry in dhcpd.conf:
host HOSTNAME { hardware ethernet MAC_ADDRESS; fixed-address STATIC_IP; # Boot from Windows WDS server server-name "WDS_SERVER_NAME"; next-server WDS_SERVER_IP; option tftp-server-name "WDS_SERVER_IP"; option bootfile-name "boot\x86\wdsnbp.com 00"; }
