   To install windows 7 over the network you have to fulfil few requirements first
   
   Your machine Should have a static IPv4 address to connect. The static address would be like 192.168.0.1.
   
   Your machine should have a Windows installation or setup in a shared folder somewhere.

   
   

   For Configuration follow these steps

   
   

   Use tftpboot to configure the DCHP server, it basically gives an IP to a computer when it is requested.
   
   After this it will also start a TFTP server for the file transfers.
   
   You system should have the folder boot\ in the tftpboot directory that hold an installation of Windows PE.
   
   Start tftp64.exe or you have another option of tftp32.exe to start, when you open the settings, set the default settings, and then click change:
   
   • IP pool starting addresss: Whatever, the pool of IPs to draw from
   
   • Size of pool: Must be > 2
   
   • Boot File: boot\pxeboot.com. This will dump into Windows PE environment
   
   • Mask: 255.255.255.0 works fine on network.
   
   • Uncheck "Ping address before assignation" option.
   
   • Check "Bind DHCP to this address" option in setting windows
   
   Restart the program to validate the changes in outcome.
   
   To install windows 7 you should know the Receiver end configuration
   
   First of all run a network boot from the receiver machine. The DHCP server will assign an IP automatically.
   
   Then you have to enter F12 to tell WindowsPE to do something. Wait for 30-60 seconds
   
   Then assign a drive to the root folder on the Source machine.
   
   For this enter the command
   
   Z:\Windows\system32>net use X:\\192.168.0.1\win7
   
   .Enter the user name for '192.168.0.1': 192.168.0.1\TEST
   
   Enter the password for 192.169.0.1: test
   
   The command completed successfully.
