WDS is advance version of RIS(Remote installation services).  With WDS we can easily deploy large number of machines. The WDS server must be configured with the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot files, the images to be deployed to the client computers, and the answer file. WDS client computers must be PXE capable.
