Capstone Proposal Summary
My Capstone Project is about Microsoft Windows Deployment Services (WDS).
W DS is a service, installed on Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2008 R2, which allows administrators to dep loy Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, and 7 to multiple client c omputers, using network-based installation. WDS can also be used to deploy applications while the system is being imaged.
This project will accomplish the following:


Installing and Configuring W indows Server 2008 including Active Directory



Imaging client machine using WDS
