These days, I am checking the new SCCM 1806 update and revealed some new great features!, I and many system center guys were waiting for this update, this update contains new features and the most incredible feature they have release is Enable SCCM PXE without WDS, yes as you heard, we can deploy task sequences and deploy them without WDS services.
Let’s see how we should enable this and what comes instead of WDS.
Go to your DP’s and right click, and then select properties:
Check the: “Enable a PXE responder without windows deployment service”.

“ConfigMgr PXE Responder Service”:

Update Distribution points X64 and x86:
You can follow the status of your DP’S updates under Monitoring > Distribution Status > Distribution Point Configuration Status:
