Custom PXE Boot to another system

Hi,
This isn't a problem but I was wondering if it's possible to customise the .cfg file to allow booting into another system other than the imaging kernel.
For example when the PXE menu comes up I would like an option to boot say a PXE version of gparted or memtest from the zenworks server.
I saw that there was a $kernel variable in the .cfg file can it be done this way?
Thanks

no.. but you can modify the menu which comes up when you press ctrl-atl to
display other options and than load a different kernel, or even floppy etc.

Customizing table Changes to another system

Hello all,
When ever changes occurred to personnel area HR table T500P then the changes needs to be replicated in another system.
how to capture the change log details?
Please provide the inputs.
Regards
Aravind

Hi,
First : In the table T500P , some of the field data elements dont have change log checked. so we will not able to use CDHDR and CDPOS table. I have to capture all the changes for this table.
Second: technical setting of the table has data log change check box is ticked but SCU3 is not activated . so this one also we can't use .
Third: Transporting data from on system to another system:For this there is no T500P table exist in the SRM system.
could you please elaborate how to use this step?
Fourth:
1. creating Ztable as copy of T500P and update the ztable with T500P data.
2. write events for this table to update T500P and also trasfer the data.
but thing is we should have to maintain custom table . If T500p changes then it will not update the ztable.
Fifth: I came to know that there is one message type "CONDA2" for Synchronizing Customizing Data Between Systems.
but don't know the procedure to get the complete solution.
Please provide your inputs..
Regards
Aravind.

PXE Boot - Installation system files...

Hi there,
I need some clarity on the following please.
I am applying the October 2012 ZENworks Imaging Driver Update.
Before the update all works fine and it goes through the pxe boot process as follows.
Pxe boots fine and I get the pxe menu.
Once I select a menu option it goes through a few checks, usb devices etc.
then Sends the DHCP request and lastly
Loading installation system.....(55392 Kb)
I get the #prompt and can image fine.
After the update which I do by backing up and replacing the following pxe files.
srv/tftp/nvlnbp.sys
srv/tftp/boot/settings.txt
srv/tftp/boot/initrd
srv/tftp/boot/root
srv/tftp/boot/linux
I get the following.
Pxe boots fine and I get the pxe menu.
Once I select a menu option it goes through a few checks, usb devices etc.
then Sends the DHCP request and lastly
Loading installation system.....(15000 Kb) --> This file is a lot smaller.
Where do the above files come from..?
Then I get the #prompt and attempts to start the imaging process crash.
Maybe there is something I am missing in the update.
I did the pxe file updates. Is there anything else that should be updated for the pxe boot to work ?
As soon as I revert back to the old files, I get a complete download of the Installation system.
Thanks

Thanks I tried that, but sadly it did not work
The drivers work for the new hardware model, but the installation system that is downloaded is only 15000, then imaging crashes.
These are the only files that change between the working and not working system. Keeping the old root also did not work.
any ideas anyone ??
srv/tftp/nvlnbp.sys
srv/tftp/boot/settings.txt
srv/tftp/boot/initrd
srv/tftp/boot/root
srv/tftp/boot/linux

Can i use old machines with PXE to boot VDI Operating Systems using Windows Server?

Hi,
I would like to know if it is posible to create an architecture with Windows Server 2012 R2 configuring VDIs and use these VDIs with my old hardware. I would like to boot my old machines using PXE directly from the VDI images so i dont need to install any
operatig system in my old hardware.
The situtation i have,  is a computer room we use for trainings. I have all these machines with Windows XP and 2Gb RAM and i dont want to replace all machines at the moment. I was thinking to use VDIs to solve this situation.
The reason for booting up using PXE is that i dont want users to start up computers in Windows XP and then run RDP to start up the VDI. I would like a solution where users should not be able to do anything and machines boot up directly to
the VDI environment.
I would appreciate any suggestions to my requirements based in your experience.
Many thanks and kind regards
Julian

Hi Julianesco,
I have not heard of people PXE booting to a VDI deployment, normally something like a thin terminal or wise terminal is used to boot to a basic RDP connector.
You can use Windows Thin PC
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/enterprise/products-and-technologies/virtualization/thinpc.aspx
or I have seen a few options like this as a cut down client to make use of old hardware.

Customer master data updation from one system to another system

HI Experts,
I have an issue with customer master data updation from one system to another system. And here only one field is not updating properly from one system to another system. and we found this is through idoc , but we don't find field in any segment.
and the field is called ADDR1_DATA-HOME_CITY.
and this will displayed as different city in address column.
but as per the notes given in help , it is by program , form through only passing. but not able to trace and as per my analysis ADRC table , ADRNR had this field HOME CITY.
And this is for some customers updating wrong one from one system to another system , and for some customers field itself not updating in address column.
please can you suggest any one. here are screenshot for your reference.

that is not enough, it was enough in times before 40b release, but this was in the last century
Please read OSS note 384462 - Master data and addresses
it explains what you have to do for ALE

PXE boot fails and reboots after loading PE

I have run into what I think is a unique issue and need some help determining the cause.
We are in the process of replacing and aging DP/PXE point (2003 R2 SP2) with a new server (2008 STD R2 SP1). What makes my pxe issue unique is that pxe works without issue on the existing 2003 DP/PXE server. But on the new 2008 server I run into
the following issue.
Environment: Config Manager 2007 R2, a single primary, multiple DP's and PXE points.
Issue: When I attempt to PXE boot a system, I am able to load PE, but shortly after the custom background screen is loaded, the system reboots. I've searched the internet quite a bit and found lots of potential causes including, bad/missing drivers,
certificate issues, rights issues, etc. None of these seem to be the cause.
My troubleshooting has determined that the client computers are unable to download the variables.dat file. I just don't know why.
We're using the same boot images on both servers.
I've tried using multiple computer models and VM's.
I've opened a command prompt as soon as our background image loads and have verified that the system is pulling a valid IP address. I am able to map a drive to the PXE server's REMINST share using our sccm net access account and manually copy the .var
file using xcopy to the appropriate directory on the local virtual drive. I've also attempted to manually run smstftp.exe by mimicking the command line from the smsts log file. I'll admit that I'm not sure I have the correct syntax for smstftp.
I've tried several variations and all but one result in a short pause and no file copied/created in the X:\sms\data folder. The one that does produce a result says that the file cannot be found. I checked for typos and made sure I used the name
of the newly created .var file.
I've also tried disabling anti-virus on the server, shutting off the windows firewall on the server, granting everyone read rights to the REMINST share.
Below is the smstslog file I've been using as a reference. Per corporate security policy, I have X'd out the IP address of the PXE server. The log file for the successful pxe boot from the 2003 server shows an exit code of 0 for smstftp.exe, a note
about successful download of the pxe var file and then it continues through the rest of the boot process.

This has been an extremely frustrating issue and any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your quick response Jason! I didn't expect someone to reply so quickly or I would have checked back sooner.
I had found the two 'older' posts already, but had not seen the 'newer' one. Unfortunately that did not give me any new ideas. But your comment on checking for TFTP availability did. Here are things I have tried since my original
post...
I re-ran most of my tests in case I missed something. I only found one change. Even though I double-checked, I must have made a typo when I manually ran the smstftp.exe command, because when I ran it again I received a timeout message instead
of file not found.
I had a minor 'thinking outside of the box moment' and decided to PXE boot the new 2008 R2 server itself. This was successful and I interpreted the success as meaning that the hardware is ok. Thinking there may be a compatibility issue with
the hardware and the OS, I tried a few different NIC drivers, settings, registry keys, and even a completely different NIC. No luck on any of these.
I decided to build another Server on a VM tovalidate my build process and configuration. And of course clients in multiple locations were able to PXE boot off this VM. Too bad I can't use this in production.
After reading your response Jason, I began to focus on network. I moved the server to a few different locations so it was utilizing different switches. No luck. I noticed in the event viewer for WDS that the server was logging the
beginning of the boot.var file via TFTP. This of course was not very surprising. What was surprising is that the very next entry (informational) noted that the client 'COMPLETED' the download of the boot.var file via TFTP. I know that completed
does not mean successful, but it usually implies or is interpreted as successful. It should have logged a warning or error, or nothing at all because although the process completed, it was not successful. I re-verified that the file was not downloaded
to the client and the client log file still shows the same error noted in the logfile from my original post.
Finally, I installed sniffing software on the server and ran some captures while attempting to PXE boot. Even though I am not much of a network guy, I quickly discovered two things. First, I found the section where the client attempts to download
the boot.var file. Unfortunately I don't think the local security team will allow me to post the capture, so I'll do my best to describe what I found. It starts with a single entry where the client calls for the file via TFTP protocol. This
is followed by a series of alternating entries (all TFTP) where it looks like the server attempts to send a portion of the file, and the client sends an acknowledgement. The sending entries all have checksum errors. The checksum received on
all packets is 0x0000 and of course should be something else. There is also a shorter section below this with alternating entries where the server attempts to send ICMP packets and the client responds with TFTP acknowledgements.
The ICMP entries are all marked as Destination unreachable (Port Unreachable).
The second thing I noticed from the network capture is the a few 'Spanning Tree Protocol' entries. I my search for a solution, I remember reading several posts saying that Spanning Tree can cause this issue. When I asked, I was assured that
Spanning Tree was disabled in this environment. It made sense too, because the 2003 PXE server was functioning properly, and Spanning Tree should affect both 2003 and 2008 servers, right?
Either way I will bring my findings to the network team and see what they have to say.
Any additional thoughts or ideas???

PXE boot no longer working - blank cmd windows shown. If run Scripts/Litetouch file from target machine wizards runs as expected??

Hi, My MDT server no longer works as expected via PXE boot. After the target machine loads the .wim file an empty command windows is shown. I have returned the custom settings.ini and bootstrap files to default and ensured nothing is being skipped within
the task sequence within both files in hope of viewing the wizard.
However from the same target machine if I map drive to my Deploymentshare/Scripts directory and run LiteTouch file I am asked for domain credentials and the Deployment wizard is displayed asking for task sequence to be selected.
I believe this error is a result of two things:
1) I applied some windows updates to my mdt server (running on 2008 r2).
2) I was implementing changes to
ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf which i have now returned to default settings.
I have also regenerated boot images and re added to WDS.
Any help much appreciated?
Regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,
This sounds familiar; I only encounter this behaviour with certain kinds of laptops (Latitude E65x0) but I usually just provide the "wpeutil reboot" command in the empty command window to keep things going. All other hardware is deployed with the
same task sequence and this behaviour does not occur anywhere else...
A bit obvious maybe, but did you check if there is still a "Next Phase" step present and enabled following directly after the "Install Operating System" step?

Toshiba L755 is the only one that will not PXE BOOT

I have a few host on my network which it has VMWare 10 installed, successively performed deployment into those machines(Hosts and created VM"s). Now, I do have also a Toshiba L755-S5258 that will not complete the process, it does not give any
errors. The following is the messages it gives.
Client MAC ADDR: xx xx xx xx xx xx GUID: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXX
Client IP:XXX.XXX.X.XX MASK: XXX.XXX.XXX.x DHCP IP: XXX.XXX.X.X
Gateway IP: XXX.XXX.X.X
Downloaded WDSNBP...
Press F12 for network service boot
Windows Deployment services: PXE boot Aborted.
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM
This si the only unit that does not follow through with the deployment
Note that I've deleted other machines that I successively deployed to from the Known Computers on Active Directory User and Computers, with not good results
Please any one help me decipher this headache

Hi,
Are your using the WDS for the Windows deploy? A network boot program (NBP) is the first file that is downloaded and executed as part of the network boot process and it controls
the beginning of the boot experience (for example, whether or not the user must press F12 to initiate a network boot). NBPs are specific to both the architecture and firmware of the client. You must accounting the screen press F12 to allow the system boot
from the WDS. The VMware® workstation PXE booting issue please ask your software vendor.

Clipboard issue- Automatically copying content past into another system across the network.

Hi,
I am facing issue related clipboard in all windows platform in our organization. Say example: Person A copying something from any application or browser in his system and when he is going to past into another apps(word file or text file) in the same system,
its pasting some other text content, which is copied in another system, which is using by person B. Again Person B when is going to copy and paste something in his system, pasting content is from person C's system. It is happening in all system in our organization.
It is very terrific problem, which is seen first time in my life. It is happening intermittently in all system.
Our organization is mainly R&D and software development company, Developers using windows clipboard in local system, but not
in another system thru n etwork or LAN. I have installed updated windows patch, Forefront antivirus in all system and also run scan. Not found any virus. We are continuously trying to identify the issue. Yet we did not get any solution.
We are enterprise customer of Microsoft and we using many enterprise solution of Microsoft. I hope any one can help me on the same.
Thanks,
Nirupam Dandapat

Hi Nirupam,
This is weird. Please disconnect the network from these computer to check if they work fine.
This is also might be caused by some third-party software conflict. In such situation, I would suggest you perform a clean boot in Windows clients to rule out the cause of third party programs.

PXE boot UEFI Thinkpad 10 not working

struggling with this problem for some time now..
saw some related threads but not really providing an answer
have one customer who bought a bunch of Thinkpad 10 machines from lenovo and the purpose is to install them with a 8.1 SOE, untill now the only thing that works is to use a standalone usb medium
our setup is SCCM 2012 R2 on top of Server 2008R2 using infoblox instead...
the thinkpad 10 has the latest ATOM cpu and is definitely a 64 bit UEFI machine
we also noticed that some switches have problems to (try and ) boot the UEFI machines, dont know why yet
the issue is that the only thing we see during a UEFI only PXE boot is that the NBP file gets succesfully downloaded (even twice) and then just switches back to the next bootoption.
i've checked:
-PXE boot another UEFI device: same symptom
-PXE boot legacy devices: ok
-changed the bootfile in option 67 to the efi file: same symptom
-all files are in the smsboot\x64 folder
lenovo support now wants me to do this: include a winPE x64 image that supports UEFI and then run the following command on the server:
"WDSUTIL /New-MulticastTransmission /FriendlyName:"WDS Boot Transmission" /Image:"Microsoft Windows PE (x64) Win8" /ImageType:Boot /Architecture:x64
/TransmissionType:AutoCast"
but I don't see what UEFI/pxe has to do with multicasting and why should I change something on wds if UEFI boot under similar circumstances works in other implementations?
any more useful ideas folks?

if you are using dhcp options, remove them, instead configure iphelpers to point to the server hosting your pxe enabled DP (should be running server 2008r2 or later).

Niall,
this was the solution in our case.
the problem was to convince the network guys to try this for us...
since we are using IP helpers it works to do the PXE boot for UEFI

MDT boot image and when we try to PXE boot it won't get the IP Address.

We created a custom MDT boot image and when we try to PXE boot it won't get the IP Address.
I press F8 and type IPCONFIG we get Windows IP Configuration. We are using vmxnet3 network adapter.
I think I need to inject 32-bit vmxnet3 driver to the custom MDT boot image which is 32-bit.
We are using it to deploy Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 operating System.
Can I just use the 32-bit custom MDT boot image or do I need to use 64-bit Custom MDT Boot Image?
Also Is there a blog on how to inject vmxnet3 driver to boot image?

You can try this:
http://mwesterink.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/configmgr-2012-obtaining-vmxnet3-nic-drivers-for-vmware-virtual-machines/
Honestly, your best bet is to use a different adapter (E1000). I personally have had no luck getting the vmxnet3 driver to work properly in WinPE. It's either really, really slow or it simply doesn't load at all.

TFTP Timeout Error on PXE Boot

Ok this is what happened. I tried to patch a image with windows updates - It filled up my hard drive. So I canceled the process and attempted to remove the folder it created on my hard drive. I went to try pxe boot a machine and I got the
blue screen:
After this I removed the check next to pxe to uninstall WDS and I waited for it to uninstall and reboot. After that I clicked the check box next pxe so it would install everything again. I redistributed the x86 and x64 boot images but now when
I try to pxe boot a machine I get the following in event viewer:
The Following Client failed TFTP Download:
IP *.*.*.*
Filename: SMSBoot\x64\wdsnbp.com
ErrorCode: 1460
I even made added the entry in the registry to change the TFTP block size. I have no idea what to do at this point. I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 and SCCM 2012 SP1. On the client machine I am getting TFTP timeout.

1460 (0x5B4) =ERROR_TIMEOUT
This operation returned because the timeout period expired.

SCCM 2012R2 OSD PXE-boot-smstftp .var file download times out errorcode 0x00000001- at this point: "Preparing Network" and Reboots

Hello All,
Please I need help! I have not seen the above error without relationship to two of the known causes for sometime during a Windows 7 osd in an SCCM 2012 R2 environment with a remote DP/PXE server. I understand this error: to occur when the boot images
does not have "Network drivers in the past Winpe version ( i.e. 3.0, 4.0), not Winpe 5.0 which has all the Network and storage drivers for Windows 7" or when Port fast is not enabled on the switch port the pxe device is plugged into. These two causes
stated here have been verified and confirmed not to be the cause in this case within the environment. The PXE boot device has ip-address (verified using ip-config, diskpart as well reveals the disk is online) and can ping the wds/pxe server and the sccm server.
Port fast is enabled on the switch port the device is plugged into. I am stuck on this one; as I could not ascertain the cause on this occasion.
Please see details below and I welcome any help any body can offer, thanks in advance guys!

Hi,
According to the logs, this issue still should be related to network driver. It failed after network driver initialized. Please try to use another network driver.

Generation 2 vms pxe boot

Hi All,
can anyone please confirm if pxe boot works with gen 2 vms in hyperv? I have wds installed in standalone mode. When ever I create new gen 2 vm, it takes ip, downloads some file and it says
Station
IP address is x.x.x.x
Server
IP address is x.x.x.x
NBP filename is boot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi
NBP
filesize is 1459552 Bytes
Downloading
NBP file...
PXE-E18: Server response timeout.
Boot
Failed. EFI SCSI Device
Boot
Failed. EFI Network.
No
Operating System was Loaded. Press a key to retry the boot sequence
I have tried with and without enabling secure boot option. I have wds(standalone mode), MDT and gen 2 vms. Can anyone please guide me how to make gen 2 vms boot over pxe?
Chaitanya.

Hi,
You might need to set DHCP options 60, 66, 67 and 4011:
60: set the identifier to "PXEClient" (without the quotes) - pop it in all the active (I put it in the inactive scopes as well, for over-zealous safety) DHCP scopes, just in case the request is picked up by another zone/scope (ensure there are
sufficient IP addresses within the scope[s] - bit of daft point, but it wouldn't be the first time I have seen a PXE boot fail because there aren't any available IPv4 addresses)
66: set the Boot Server Host Name "<boot_server_name>.<...>.<CN>.<CN>" or by IPv4 address
67: set the Boot File Name; stop WDS from listening on UDP Port 67 - it will be used by DHCP:: ensure the full path is listed (verify this before running the PXEboot) - Just as side note, I tend to make the folder containing the file read/write - not sure
it actually does anything, but it frequently makes things a bit "smoother".
4011: ensure that PXE broadcasts from the clients are routed by WDS properly i.e.: the traffic should go to the appropriate server (DHCP, WDS and possibly BootTP if configured)
Also, and don't take this wrong way, but check, check and check again that the boot order settings are set in the Hyper-V Manager correctly. Time and time again I have come up against this one. Sometimes, for whatever reason, Hyper-v will put
the defaults back in, so you think you are booting off the network, and will be told as such, but will actually be booting off DVD/CD...
Create a VM, open the settings and then start the VM; watch the settings in the left hand pane. If all is well, there will no change, if all is not well, there may be a slight "jump" as the VM starts up.
Could be an idea to start DHCP from the command line - if you have access to it and there are no impediments, there isn't (shouldn't be) any problem with ensuring it has started.
Hope this helps
- quick note, I'm not available for a couple of days but hopefully one of the other kind and generous souls on this site will assist you if you run into any problems.
have a good one! :D
Cheers
Andrew
Oh, just had thought, check that you are utilizing only one IP address per network adapter on the client, DHCP and WDS servers. There's a conflict between DHCP and RIS - or at least used to be, not sure if it has been fixed/sorted.
Cheers! Andrew

PXE Boot an iMac

I have been talking with apple support for over 1 hours... and they don't know what a PXE boot is!
Can someone please help me! How would I enable PXE boot at boot time without needing to install the OS first!
Cheers
DK

Apple doesn't support PXE... as a "normal" BIOS system would see it...
As Apple is a closed system you must use a Netboot which is compatible for Apple Proprietary Hardware and is detected at boot time if the "Option" Key is held down.
In my case, this software would need to be set-up on another server to run this "Apple" Proprietary PXE Boot... which is pointless and non-standard....
Not to worry the OS X's will stay standalone...
The more I use OS X's, the more I realise Apple are just as Proprietary and closed as Microsoft... Hopefully the Linux Community can be a man in the middle to resolve these issues... again! :P
