Replaces Remote Installation Services (RIS)
RIS cannot deploy Vista, Server 2008 (no support for WIM format)
Available for WS2K3
Can install Win7, Vista, XP, WS2K8, WS2K3, and W2K
Uses WinPE as the boot environment on target PC
WinPE can be customised
WinPE is deployed as a compressed WIM image with RAMDISK boot support
A WinPE-based WDS Client provides image selection
Native support for WIM images
New Microsoft PXE Server architecture
Provider plug-ins to augment core networking functionality
can send a PXE request to another deployment tool, e.g., ConfigMgr

Summary
Simple deployments can be configured with
the Windows Automated Installation Kit
Simple deployments can be configured with
Windows Deployment Services which adds
extra automation and driver delivery options
By combining tools you can develop more
sophisticated deployment options
