I have tried using a Windows & Ubuntu host machine running both VMware pro & Virtual box to install an LTSP server from an Ubuntu server installation iso.

When I start up the Ubuntu server iso in the player, press F4 the LTSP installation option isn't there.

Any ideas what's going on? I have tried using Ubuntu 64 bit server 12.04, 14.04 & 15.04 iso images & I can't find the LTSP install on any of them.

You should use Alternate CD and not server iso.

Quoted from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall

Starting with the Hardy Heron (8.04) release the LTSP installer functionality was moved to the Ubuntu alternate CD.

But alternate CD is not available for Ubuntu 14.04 but you can still use the one for 12.04. Download it from here:

If you want you can install it after installing any version of Ubuntu:

sudo -i
add-apt-repository --yes ppa:ts.sch.gr
apt-get update
apt-get --yes --install-recommends install dnsmasq ltsp-server-standalone ltsp-client ldm-ubuntu-theme ltsp-config dnsmasq
echo 'IPAPPEND=3' >> /etc/ltsp/update-kernels.conf
/usr/share/ltsp/update-kernels

more info from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp
