Cool! I got it to work via WDS, but honestly, I just went an bought 8 thumb drives. Booting via USB is so much faster than PXE and WDS ever was, even though I've got a fantastic WDS server. I am REALLY loving SmartDeploy.

Very cool. That works! I thought that's what I was doing, but I tried about 4 times and ever got it working. Must have missed a step before. Any chance that method also works with WDS?

Is there a way to automatically have the PE environment map the network drive where my image is located OR just pick the image? I love the ease of use, but it seems like since the goal is to create one gold image and use PPKs to inject drivers, having to map a drive and pick an image is extra work. I'd love to be able to throw in a USB drive, boot to it, and have the install kick off.
