How do I PXE boot multiple Windows 7 desktops off the same image?
- by Matt
Some years ago in my uni days I recall that the uni labs booted windows nt over the network.
There was a shared drive for your own stuff, and other than that any changes you did to the running OS were reset when you restarted the machine.
Now I'd like to be able to do the same thing with Windows 7. I have found some howto's for this using iSCSI, but I don't want an iSCSI disk for every single PC, I'm wanting one image for multiple PC's. I've also found PXE Boot setups for installing windows locally, but that's not what I want either.
How would I go about setting up what I had at uni but with Windows 7 as a OS to netboot?
i.e. How do I netboot windows 7 images? I do not want to netboot a windows 7 installer to a pc to install windows locally, I want to run a windows 7 image from memory/network.
