This exercise covers setting up WDS, configuring it with factory default OS images, then capturing fully-configured and updated images back to the server.
I demonstrate how to perform this within the same physical computer by utilizing Hyper-V.
Virtual machines provide the ability to maintain multiple configured OSs, then re-capturing them to the WDS server so that the deployment OS images are always up to date.

Prerequisites for this exercise:
Active Directory with Directory Services (one domain controller)
DNS (local name lookup)
DHCP (dynamic IPv4 addresses are needed for PXE boots)
Hyper-V (creates virtual machines)
WDS - Manages OS deployment over the network
