I am fairly new to using WDS and MDT. A coworker setup a WDS server and a separate MDT. My question is how does WDS know to direct the client to the correct MDT server hosting the images...

    Thank you for the feed back. Right now the only boot image in WDS is the LiteTouch image I got from the Deployment share.

    Hi,

    My question is how does WDS know to direct the client to the correct MDT server hosting the images...

    The boot image import to WDS is created by MDT.

    This boot image contains the necessary components to initiate the deployment process and connect to the MDT deployment share.
