Hello.

That wizard is used when doing a network "bare metal" deployment of the OS. The WDS server only responds to PXE (remote install) requests from approved MAC addresses. So what the wizard does is put WDS in capture mode. You would start the wizard, and then turn on the machines that you want to install. When done, WDS goes back into approved-only mode. So if you need to re-image a machine, you don't need to approve it again.

Did you want to do a network deployment of the OS? An alternative for a small cluster is to manually install Windows and the HPC Pack.

Hope this helps.

I would recommend taking a look at the deployment documentation (and other areas) on the HPC Tech center.
