  23. Click “Finish” to complete the Scope Wizard.




  24. If you are configuring DHCP before WDS, you can activate the scope now. WDS will automatically add option 60 to the Server Options when you’ve completed the WDS configuration.
    If you are configuring DHCP after WDS, please check to make sure that option 60 has been added in to the Server Options section. If not, please reboot your server and then activate the scope.




  25. To activate the scope right click on the scope and select “Activate”.



  26. You can verify all options in the information pane.

DHCP is now configured. If you’ve already set up WDS, then you should be able to start up a PXE compatible system, have it boot up, talk to the PXE sever, get the Deployment Kit Recovery Environment boot image (defined in the WDS document), and be ready for imaging.
