Depending on the capacity of your server running Hyper-V, you can install, configure and use Windows Deployment Services. You can also create a virtual machine to act as a client machine when building and testing your deployment images. This is especially useful for building your custom images. This phase is very resource-intensive and may fail if insufficient resources are available on your server running Hyper-V.
The Windows Deployment Services server service is not cluster-aware. However, you can run multiple WDS servers in a network to provide fault-tolerance and load balancing. You can manage Windows Deployment Services remotely by installing the Windows Deployment Services server role on a local server and then using that server to connect to the remote server in the data center or you can use the Windows PowerShell cmdlets for Windows Deployment Services to manage a remote server.
We recommend that you deploy two WDS servers at a minimum and then additional servers to increase redundancy for higher availability. This version of DISM supports servicing Windows Server and earlier boot images but does not support later versions of boot images.
