Hi All,


I'm trying to get a Windows installation happening within a Hyper-V machine from a WDS Server in a VM.


It's a bit of a confusing set up. I have my laptop which is running 2 VMs - One is Windows Server 2008 R2 (AD / DHCP / DNS), the second is Windows Server 2008 R2 running Windows Deployment Services. 


I then having a physical machine which is running Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V installed. They're all connected and communicating fine. They can all ping each other with no issues. Both the physical server and the WDS server are authenticated on the domain and logged in.


I have a physical NIC on the physical server that is connecting to my laptop via network cabling - which is how they all communicate.


Whenever I start up my Hyper-V machine to get it to retrieve an installation via the WDS server, nothing happens. The DHCP just times out. I've tried everything I can think of. The physical NIC in the physical server is a TP-Link TG-3468.


The NIC on the laptop is a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller - RTL8167.


Why can't the Hyper-V pick up an IP address for PXE booting?


Thanks in advance!

      Not what I was expecting. I thought it was going to add ray tracing to games that don't support it or something lol.

      Looks less buggy than FC25. I still don't understand how they managed to release that game.

      Yes, Command Palette, that's what I meant, thank you.

      PowerToys Run has already been replaced with Command Palette. Run is still functional, but it's just a matter of time before Microsoft disables it. Raycast can do much more though, and with its plugins much, much, much more...
