To resolve this issue, ensure that the registry data is correct.
Caution: Incorrectly editing the registry might severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data.
To perform this procedure, you must either be a member of the local Administrators group or have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To ensure that the registry data is correct:
Open the Registry Editor (Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.)
Ensure that the registry key for the provider that failed exists at the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WDSServer\Providers. Note: The failed provider is specified in the event log message. To find the message, search Event Viewer for WDSServer event 516.
If you find the registry key at the location specified in step 2, make sure that the InitRoutine subkey exists, and then restart the server.
If either the provider registry key or the InitRoutine subkey is missing, do one of the following:
If the provider is one of the default providers (WDSPXE, BINLSVC, WDSIMGSRV, WDSMC, and WDSTFTP), you will need to reinstall Windows Deployment Services by using Server Manager (see the following procedure).
If the provider is a custom or non-Microsoft provider, reinstall it. If that does not fix the problem, contact the vendor for troubleshooting information.
To reinstall Windows Deployment Services:
Open Server Manager.
Under Roles Summary, click Remove Roles.
Click Windows Deployment Services, and then follow the instructions in the wizard.
After the role removal is completed, click Add Roles in Server Manager to reinstall Windows Deployment Services.
