Yesterday we cloned our physical DHCP/WDS/SMS server to wmware esx. Everything worked except for WDS (running mixed mode). PXE is working but in the legacy RIS setup right when you click on automatic setup it displays a blank blue screen.

WDS was working perfectly before the clone. Has anyone experienced this or have any idea's? I don't see any related event log's.

Thanks,

Did you use VMWare Converter or just use an imaging tool to to clone the physical server?

Just checking. Sorry I cant help beyond the ESX clone/migration as I have not used WDS at all. Hopefully another Admin will step in. Good luck.

uninstalling/reinstalling WDS worked. I'm still not sure what happened though.

Thanks for the update. I'll store that tidbit for when I deploy WDS in our environment. Glad you got it working.
