PXE boot WDS through VPN tunnel
-
Hello, is there anybody who tried to deploy windows image from WDS throught VPN tunnel?
I set Network booting on DHCP. When I connect computer network, I receive PXE boot, everything looks fine, but it is slow as a hell.Is there any way how to optimalize boot from remote WDS? Thanks!

What speeds are you seeing across the tunnel? What's the latency across the tunnel? High latency across a layer 2 connection can cause significant issues.

HI, speed through tunnel is not bad, the problem seems related to TFTP protocol that act very slow through VPN? I tried to run TFTPD package, but wasnt able to upload 500MB wim file. I am not expert at this, so dont know if there is any other possibility how to.. or I will have to just deploy another windows server on remote site..

Indeed TFTP is, deliberately, very simple. It can be dramatically affected by any latency. You could test a tftp transfer directly and see what speeds you get. If it's bad though there's no much you can do other than use a local server instead.
