SCCM2012/WDS Question

[Capt Doufos]

I have been told that opening the WDS boot image console on a server running an SCCM 2012 PXE boot enabled share will wipe out the SCCM 2012 images. I can't find anything to suggest that is the case.

Is it correct or is someone talking testicles?

Thanks

No, our solution is provided by the GlobalIT dept and PXE boot wasn't working, so I sent them some diag info including the fact I couldn't see the images in WDS (I was under the impression it was still listed in there but maybe not).

\start rant

I have no admin access to the server, view only and they came back with images were wiped because I went into the Boot image management console in WDS. Which I find it hard to believe even if I actually even had write access. So the story goes they put it all back and it now mysteriously works, presumably because there were no images there in the first place and there now are.

I just think they are talking rubbish, but I don't have a test environment to prove it with. Although I am tempted to build one specially! I certainly can't find any TechNet articles that back there story up.

It's kind of tempting to go in there again and see if it still works, but that isn't very professional
