I've been working on an integrated home server for a while and going back and forth on how to do it and what will best suite my needs. I like Windows Home Server but what I really want to figure out is whether or not windows hone server can be used to push netboot operating systems to the other computers in my network. So could I push windows seven to my various computers and how would I do this. I've been researching it but everything I've read is very vague about how to do it.

Also, will I have to purchase several windows 7 keys to do this? Or do I just need one since all devices will be pulling the same OS? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

You will need to buy windows or a separate key for each computer,each computer needs to have a operating system on it

I think what I originally wanted to do was have windows server act as a PXE-boot server for windows 7 which would have involved buying additional licenses... for computers that already had win7 on them... so I decided against that. Dont know why I wanted to do that in the first place anyway.

I finally decided to do Ubuntu on my server running Samba PDC so I can have roaming profiles. Got it all setup and just working out a few minor kinks, but for free im incredibly happy with the Samba route. Does everything i need and then some.
