This article documents a method to configure Windows Deployment Services (WDS) to PXE boot the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows Recovery Media over a network.
General Guidance Disclaimer The information provided below is intended only as general guidance. The method and configuration documented in this article are used by our internal team to test the PXE boot functionality of the Veeam Recovery Media. It should not be regarded as the sole way or as an officially "Veeam-supported" method of achieving this result. Moreover, Veeam Support will not provide assistance with configuring PXE booting of the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows recovery media. In this scenario, the sole responsibility of Veeam Software is to ensure that the recovery media are capable of being PXE booted. The configuration and implementation of PXE booting within an environment rest with the environment's administrator(s). Please keep in mind that if WDS is already configured and in use within the environment, the configuration settings suggested in this article should be reviewed by an Administrator to ensure they do not impact or conflict with existing WDS usage.
Consideration Notes With the settings demonstrated in this KB, any user could, in theory, configure a machine on the same network as the WDS server to use PXE boot and gain access to the Tools included with the Veeam Recovery Environment, just as they could if they used the recovery media creation tool to create a bootable USB drive and booted from it.
