Windows Deployment Services (WDS) is the revised version of Remote Installation Services (RIS). WDS enables the deployment of Windows operating systems and can be used to set up new clients with a network-based installation without requiring that administrators visit each computer or install directly from CD or DVD media.

When prompted with this error below, as I always say, there are many factors that can be responsible for this. Below is what I did to resolve my issue.
Solution: Worked for me:
– Ensure the Windows Deployment Services (services.msc)is started (running).
Ensure the Windows Deployment Server itself is running. To verify this, logon to the WDS Server,
– Launch the Windows Deployment Services Tool,
-Right-click on the server,
– Select “All Tasks” and click on Start.
