WDSServer (Windows Deployment Server) Fails to Start

  WDS will not start on the Head node.  The guy who set it up, I think manually installed the WDS Service, and included the Deployment role?  I've uninstalled that, and now only have the transport role installed.  That's all that was installed in my lab enviornment when I did a fresh install.  Every time I try to start the service I see the following errors:

   

  Application Log:

  An error occurred while trying to start the Windows Deployment Services server.  Error Information: 0x8009000F

   

  System Log:

  The Windows Deployment Services Server service terminated with service-specific error %%-2146893809.

   

  Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/HPC/Management/Admin:

  Error 6005: Failed to start service Windows Deployment Services Server. Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed. Check the event log for further information.

   

  I enabled tracing on the WDSServer and collected this entry from the WDSServer.LOG (c:\windows\tracing) [9536] 10:14:38: <===Ending logging of module [WDSServer] [10080] 10:16:08: ===>Starting logging of module [WDSServer] [10080] 10:16:08: [UDPPorts] Policy: 0, Dynamic Port Range: 64001-65000.

  ([d:\w7rtm\base\ntsetup\opktools\wds\wdssrv\server\src\wdsservice.cpp:178] source code paths, not really related to the issue directly, other than a line of code with the issue) 

  Hopefully someone might have some ideas...  Thanks!
