Hello,
We installed the WDS application. But we are unable to use it because the
WDSServer can't start.

What can we do ?
Thanks for any help !

An error occurred while trying to start the Windows Deployment Services
server.
Error Information: 0x6E
 
Hello again,
I started the service using an Domain Administrative account. It does not
work with the localsystem account.
A bug ?

Thanks
ML
 
No i think that is by design. We had the same thing and have had to use a
domain admin account all along. I think it must need rights to the computer
object in the AD.
 
Hi,
I fixed it !
We corrected the issue by setting a correct DNS suffix. Like that, a domain
user account, just administrator of the WDS Server was able to initialize WDS
and then start the service using the local system account.

A lack in the documentation perhaps.
