WdsClient: There was a problem initializing wds mode

After loosing a couple of nights trying to set up WDS, here comes the moment of truth. You have to deploy your first computer and you are hit with this stupid error message:

“WdsClient: There was a problem initializing wds mode.”

Sweet! What the heck does that mean?

After some googling around someone finally got the solution that i was looking for here

Honestly i have no idea why it fixed it for me but it does work.

change option 67 from :  PXEboot.com  to  wdsnbp.com

I will have to spend some time  later to find what the heck is the difference between PXEboot.com and wdsnbp.com but i will enjoy the solution for now.
