Windows Deployment Services
Windows Deployment Services (WDS) is a Microsoft server technology that enables network-based installation of Windows operating systems. It allows administrators to deploy images of Windows to client machines over a network, facilitating automated installations and reducing the need for physical media. WDS supports both multicast and unicast transmissions, making it efficient for deploying to multiple machines simultaneously. This service is particularly useful in enterprise environments for managing large-scale deployments.
WinPE, or Windows Preinstallation Environment, is a lightweight version of the Windows operating system designed for deployment, recovery, and troubleshooting tasks. It provides a minimal operating system environment to perform installations, system repairs, and system recovery. WinPE is typically included with the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) and is not a standalone product, so it does not require a separate license for use but is subject to Microsoft's licensing terms for the underlying Windows OS.
Windows Calender is included with Windows Vista. It is not included with Windows 7 or 8, but can be copied over to Windows 7 and 8 from Windows Vista.
