Windows Deployment Services is a feature in server 2008 that is used
to Install the Operating System (Vista, Server 2008 & Windows 7) on
the Client side. In previous version of Server we had the feature of RIS
(Remote Installation Services) that is used to install only (Windows
XP, Server 2003) It also takes long time to copy all the file and folder
from the CD Rom & It also had the long method of configuration. But
the Server 2008 takes less time then RIS. It also has a very short
configuration. It copy only two CAB file from DVD Rom (Install.wim
& Boot.wim).
