Starts a previously created Scheduled-Cast namespace. Note that you cannot use this command for Auto-Cast namespaces.

Syntax

WDSUTIL /Start-Namespace /Namespace:<Namespace name> [/Server:<Server name>]

Parameters

Parameter Description

/Namespace:<Namespace name>

Specifies the name of the namespace to be started. Note that this is not the friendly name, and it must be unique.

  • Deployment Server: The syntax for namespace name is /Namspace:WDS:<Image group>/<Image name>/<Index>. For example: WDS:ImageGroup1/install.wim/1

  • Transport Server: This name must match the name given to the namespace when it was created on the server.

[/Server:<Server name>]

Specifies the name of the server. This can be either the NetBIOS name or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If no server name is specified, the local server will be used.

Examples

To start a namespace, type one of the following:

WDSUTIL /Start-Namespace /Namespace:"Custom Auto 1"
WDSUTIL /Start-Namespace /Server:MyWDSServer /Namespace:"Custom Auto 1"
