I have been fighting with WDS to deploy my MDT generated image for at least a week now. We have been using the MDT image in iso format to deploy to computers locally for a few months now and the task sequence and install works great. The problem is when
i add the lite touch wim file to WDS, it wont netboot with UEFI. I am not using DHCP Options as that appears to be deprecated, and all necessary IP Helpers are set. The computers receive and IP and see the server, but fail to boot. Secure boot is turned off.
The message presented before it fails is "NBP filename is boot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi filesize is 0 bytes" sure enough, if i go to my remoteinstall folder on the WDS server, in boot\x64, there is no wdsmgfw.efi file. it has generated several others,
but there is nothing named anything even close. I have attempted to set the lite touch wim to the default for both regular x64 and x64 UEFI platforms to no effect. Where are these files supposed to come from? i completely started from scratch with my MDT sequence
and regenerated it, uninstalled WDS role and reinstalled it after a reboot, all to no effect. What are the next steps i should take? it seems like such a minor thing but its causing the entire thing to not work
