Recently I set up a Windows 2008 server with ConfigMgr 2007 SP1 (aka SCCM 2007) & wanted to do OS deployment.  I ran into some issues because this server was also a DHCP server, this post will address the high level steps I took to get this working.

1. Installed WDS via the Add Roles Wizard
   • 
2. Added the PXE service point role via ConfigMgr Admin Console
   • 
3. Now all should be good right?  Nope, the WDS service would not start.  After some research I found the issue to be that WDS & DHCP both use port 67 by default.
   • To get around this the following registry change needs to be made (UseDHCPPorts = 0)
     • 
4. I then removed and reinstalled the PXE service point and thought all was well – even the pxecontrol.log looked good (see below)
5. Monitored PXEControl.log to ensure PXE was responding to tests
   • 
6. So I tried to PXE boot a system and still no luck.  More research showed that I needed to accomplish two more steps
   • Initialize the WDSServer (wdsutil /initialize-server /reminst:G:RemoteInstall) – NOTE: Adjust the G:remoteinstall location to reality in your environment
     • 
   • Next you need to run the following command for the registry change made in step 3 to take affect
   • 
7. The next test worked like a charm
