wds client: an error occurred while obtaining an ip address from the dhcp server. please check to ensure that there is an operational dhcp server on this network segment.

What is the main cause of this error?
How do I fix the issue without going to the wds server system?

    @Sunirmal Chakraborty
    Hi,
    This error is almost a missing driver in the boot.wim.

    You could follow the following methods to inject drivers into your image using the WDS GUI.

    Also, creating your win10 boot image from windows 10 latest build may work.

    Hope above information can help you.
