SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You have a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer that has Windows Deployment Services (WDS) installed. Then, you configure a bind policy by using the following command:

WDSUTIL /set-server /BindPolicy /Add /address: /addressType:IP

However, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

An error occurred while trying to execute the command.

Error Code: 0x2726

Error Description: An invalid argument was supplied.
