Question : Implementing Windows Deployment Services

Hi All,

I've got brand new HP Desktop computers and laptop which comes with OEM Windows 7 Professional, I'm interested in implementing WDS for deploying the custom images that has been customized with my office needs.

Can I safely assume that I customize one desktop and then take snapshot as master image then deploy it using WDS ?
or do i have to get another license of Windows 7 to do this ? My Domain controller is Windows Server 2008 R2 and it can server as the WDS server.

>>  after restarting gets an error  System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

This is because your file is blank and ReadLine() returns nothing, so null is being passed to Long.Parse(). You should consider checking the return of ReadLine() for null before passing to Long.Parse--even if you get the logic working correctly.

>>  it all works except when it tries to write to the file nothing gets written

What kind of app is this? A windows service?

>>  what os are you using
