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.
