PXE Boot Help

I am taking over OSD for an SCCM 2007 R2 environment, existing Operating System Images have been created (Win 7 x64), Boot.wim images, drivers, etc and it all works fine for existing models of PCs.  A NEW model of machine has been purchased and
is being deployed that we need to PXE OSD but the NIC drivers for this machine we're not loaded.  I followed the MS KBs to obtain and extract the correct driver INF files from the vendor site to the drivers folder on the SCCM network share, add the
drivers in configman console, update the driver package, edit the task sequence and update the WIM image.  Everything went successful (assuming that's all that needs to be done).  However, when I PXE boot one of these new machines out of the box
I get the following error during boot after pressing F12: Pending request ID: 5306 contact your administrator (which sadly is me now).  when this error passes, the splash screen loads and then I get a no NIC drivers error.  I cant seem to locate
a 5306 error code message, can anyone help or provide any insight?  Thanks,

Apologies, my fault.  I'll describe this as best as I can based on what I know/have in front of me.  This is a pre existing environment successfully doing OSD via PXE with existing hardware and images, I'm simply adding a new HP model and
need to add the drivers for this new model so I can PXE this like the rest.  Within the console (2007 R2) beneath 'Operating System Deployment' there is 'Boot Images'  which has the x86 and x64 boot images which they are using. Beneath 'Operating
System Images' there are Win 7 x64 images (I'm using the one with the most current date)  Beneath 'Drivers' are all the existing NIC drivers and this is where I imported the new HP NIC driver I downloaded for the new HP Model machines we bought. 
The drivers (extracted INF etc) are in the SCCM server 'DRIVERS' folder on the server where all the other drivers are, I added this driver to the x64 BOOT Image noted above, updated all DPs.  Beneath 'Driver Packages' I also created a new package
for this new driver the same as all the existing ones are.  So in terms of steps, I've obtained the new 64 bit NIC drivers and copied them to the LAN, updated the drivers, created the driver package, updated the task sequence, updated
the driver to the .wim boot image, updated all DP's.  So assuming I've done all the above correctly and not missed anything, when I boot up the new machine and do an f12, it craps out and I get the  'aportpxe' error followed by NIC driver not found
when the wim is loading.
Appreciate your patience and any assistance.

  • PXE Boot/Ip helper address for staging OS-es

    Hi,
    In our production environment there is already a PXE-server SCCM 2007. Now, we're setting up an SCCM 2012-server which we would like to test staging/OS-deployment also.
    Is it safe to say we need to add the ip  of the SCCM 2012 "066 Boot Server Host Name" to stage. Note: on switches (Cisco) this is ip helper address,  correct?
    Please clarify.
    NOTE: is there an option to make it work WITHOUT needing a new VLAN?
    J.
    Jan Hoedt

    DHCP options and IP helper addresses have the same end goal but are completely different things.
    IP Helpers automatically forward broadcast requests to a destination system thus "bridging" subnets for services like DHCP and PXE.
    DHCP scope options directly instruct the NIC to boot from a specific PXE server.
    So, yes, it is possible to manipulate where a client PXE boots from, but it takes an integral understanding of how PXE works, of how IP Helpers work, and of how NICs initiate a PXE boot when either IP Helpers or DHCP scope options are in place (and
    thus DHCP also). Because *none* of this really has anything to do with ConfigMgr or even Microsoft itself, there really is no Microsoft guidance except that IP Helpers are preferred and are the Microsoft supported solution. A great starting reference
    is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preboot_Execution_Environment
    Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com
    Is there any official Microsoft documentation that outlines why IP Helpers are preferred over scope options?

  • Yoga 2 Pro PXE boot?

    Looking to PXE boot a Yoga 2 Pro so I can create/restore images with Microsoft WDS.  Since Yoga 2 Pro does not have a built-in Ethernet jack, does anyone know if it's possible to do this with a USB Ethernet adapter?
    Would it have to be a Lenovo-branded apdater, or can any brand Belkin, TP-Link, etc) work?

    How did you get this to work sir?? I have been trying for a solid week and it never see the Lenovo ethernet dongle as a boot option no matter what I choose in the BIOS. I have the X1 Carbon and it works as you would expect it to. But it NEVER works on the YOGA 2 PRO. CAn anyone help me?? The BIOS clearly has an option to boot the dongle thats made by LENOVO but the dongle never ever shows any lights no matter what port its in or regardless of the settings vchanged in the very small bios. I have wasted atleast 60 hrs + trying to figure out how to boot with it and it doesnt work at all. I had to end up making a bootable discover USB to help it find my wds server. Altough now when ever I attempt to drop an image to it it fails right at FINISHING up and finishes with a "corrupt installation file" error message. To make things more confusing is I can drop this same "Corrupt" image to our X1 carbons without a problem. Can anyone guess why??

  • Problems PXE booting Gen 2 Virtual Machines after Upgrading to Windows Server 2012 R2

    My Current Setup: 
    I have two virtual machines set up with Hyper V on my Windows Server 2012 Server.
    VM1: Configured to boot from an ISO file and runs Clonezilla server. 
    VM2: Configured to PXE boot using a legacy network adapter, and with a passthrough 250Gb hard disk. 
    These two VMs are connected to an external Virtual Switch, which allows physical machines to PXE boot to the Clonezilla server. 
    For the past few months I have been using this setup for two purposes:
    1. To clone physical machines to the Clonezilla virtual server (as a backup).
    2. To restore those image to the second VM if I find that need to get access to the files on the original image.. 
    This has worked perfectly, except for the fact that the speed of the legacy network adapter on the second VM (which is required to PXE boot) is very slow. But I know this is because of the limitations in how the legacy adapter works... 
    Now my problem:
    I found out that Gen 2 VMs allow you to PXE boot without having use a legacy network adapter, allowing me to image back to the VM faster. So I upgraded the Server to Server 2012 R2 . I then created the same two virtual machines on the R2 server. I can still
    PXE boot the Gen 1 VM to the Clonezilla Server but I cannot get the Gen 2 VMs to PXE boot properly. They get an IP address from the Clonezilla Server but then just stop with the following screen. (note: I have disabled the Secure Boot). 
    Are Gen 2 VMs unable to pull down images from anything other than a WDS Server?

  • 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? 

  • Windows Deployment Services Unable to PXE boot clients PXE-E53: No Boot Filename Received

    Hi
    I'm trying to configure WDS/MDT to deploy Windows 8.1. I've captured an image and I'm ready to deploy the image to a workstation, as per the above title when I attempt to PXE boot a test workstation it just times out with the following error message PXE-E52:No
    Boot Filename Recieved. I've tried a few tweaks to get it working however no such luck.
    The setup is as follows it's a virtual Windows 2012 R2 machine, just a fresh member server with microsoft deployment toolkit installed and WDS role installed with the nesscary framework features installed.
    I've tried tweaking the properties of most of the settings within the server settings in WDS with no such luck.
    I'm a novice at WDS but from what I've read I shouldn't need configure that much in the first place to get it working.
    I'm willing to bet it will be something I've overlooked so I need a 2nd opinon, could anyone provide any troubleshooting tips. If you require anymore information please let me know.
    Cheers   

    Hi Joel,
    This error may caused by the WDS server is not pushing the images because PXE Clients are not able to download or communicate with the TFTP server.
    The image can’t be download generally caused by the the Vlan is not enabled IP helper/DHCP relay agent configured on it, all DHCP broadcasts on UDP port 67 by client computers
    should be forwarded directly to both the DHCP server and the Windows Deployment Services PXE server.

  • PXE boot issue with DHCP and SCCM server on different subnets

    I'm working with a client on the operating system deployment module of SCCM.
    Their network configuration currently has a single large subnet for client
    computers with a DHCP server on the same subnet. The SCCM subnet is
    configured on a seperate subnet with no DHCP server on the subnet. We want to
    configure client computers to be able to boot using the PXE client to deploy
    OS images to the machines but can not get PXE-boot to work correctly.
    Also, the client does not want to make changes to their network
    infrastructure routers or switches to remedy this problem. Are there settings
    on the DHCP or SCCM servers we can implement to make this work? If so, what
    needs to be installed or configured on each server. We currently already have
    WDS installed on the SCCM server and the SCCM server is configured as a PXE
    Service Point within SCCM. Both WDS and the PXE Service Point seem to be working fine.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Machines cannot PXE boot using SCCM 2012 DP

    There are a lot of posts about PXE boot, but I can't find the common thread to tie them all together.  My test machines cannot PXE boot.
    My lab environment is very simple:
    10.10.0.0/24 subnet
    10.10.0.10 = W2k8 R2 DC, DHCP, DNS
    10.10.0.11 = SCCM2012 (on W2k8R2 with SQL Server 2008 SP3 and CU4)
    All machines are Hyper-V virtual machines connecting through the same virtual network.
    Setup the PXE service from DP properties.  I let SCCM install WDS.  WDS in Server Manager does not have a server node, but the WDS service is running.  DP PXE tab is configured as follows:
    "Enable PXE support for clients" is checked
    "Allow this distribution point to resond to incoming PXE requests" is checked
    "Enable unknown computer support" is checked
    "Require a password when computers use PXE" is not checked
    "User device affinity" is set to "Allow user device affinity with automatic approval"
    PXE is configured to respond on all network interfaces
    The PXE server response delay is 0 seconds
    The DHCP server has options configured as follows:
    Option 66: 10.10.0.11
    Option 67: smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com
    Both DP and MP on SCCM server are configured for HTTP.
    Both x86 and x64 boot images have been distributed to DP.  The media was updated after PXE was enabled on the DP.
    Both x86 and x64 boot images have "Deploy this image from the PXE service point" enabled on the Data Source tab of their properties.
    I have tried both unknown computer task sequence and a computer import task sequence (old computer association).  They all end in abortpxe.com

    Those options are fine when using DHCP options. They must be configured right because ConfigMgr does send a reply to the client ("abortpxe"). It basically tells you that ConfigMgr knows the MAC address and/or SMBIOSGUID of the client, but cannot find
    a deployment for it.
    Just find ResourceID 16777218 in the console (you might have to add the ResourceID column) and double check if there's an deployment available (properties of the client with resourceID 16777218).

    Your answer really helped me. I was searching for 2 days trying to find a computer in Config Manager. Your suggestion to "Just
    find ResourceID 16777218 in the console (you might have to add the ResourceID column) and double check if there" was the trick to finding the computer in Config Manager. Thanks for all of your help

  • Screen resolution when PXE boot from WDS vs Install Windows 8.1 from USB

    Hi all
    I own a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s, X230 Tablet, and now have my hands on a T440. All three machines have UEFI Secure Boot enabled properly, i.e. Windows boot screen shows Lenovo logo instead of Windows logo.
    However, if I do a PXE boot (using Windows Deployment Services from Windows Server 2012, not R2) and boot to the same boot.wim provided on a Windows 8.1 ISO image, the boot screen resolution turns crap, and the WinPE environment runs in 640x480. Also, as opposed
    to the Lenovo logo showing on the boot screen, the Windows logo shows up instead, indicating it's not doing a secure boot?
    When booting from a USB stick however, using the same Windows 8.1 boot.wim (copied from ISO), the screen resolution in Windows Setup is detected correctly, and the Lenovo logo shows up.
    This occurs on all three machines since MDT was upgraded to MDT 2013 or when I replaced Windows 8 boot.wim with Windows 8.1 boot.wim (as the Windows ADK 8 --> ADK 8.1).
    Is there a fix for this? Do others have the same problem elsewhere?
    Many thanks 

    Hi,
    When boot UEFI-based computer from PXE you should take more into consideration.
    For some computers, you might have to perform additional steps to make sure that Windows is installed in UEFI mode, and not in legacy BIOS-compatibility mode.
    Some computers might support UEFI. However, they do not support a PXE-initiated boot when in UEFI mode.
    How to Create a PXE-Initiated Windows 8 Deployment for UEFI-Based or BIOS-Based Computers in Configuration Manager
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj938037.aspx
    Especially for “Pre-Deployment Considerations”
    If you still cannot find a way to make it boot from UEFI mode, you should contact with manufacture to confirm if PXE-initiated boot is supported.
    Hope this helps.

    We recently started ording the same X230s, only with a Windows 8 license. Lenovo indicated that there should be no changes needed with our image.
    However, we can not PXE boot these machines. We shut them down and bring them back up with an F12 on the bios splash screen and select PCI LAN.
    We get a message saying >>Start PXE over IPv4
    It hangs there a while, then tries IPv6, then goes back to the boot device ment.
    We got a solid green and a flashing yellow light on the network connector. And we've PXE booted off of this connection many, many times
    What are we missing?
    Thank you.
    Solved!

    Hey there DOTJKO,
    I've seen over on another thread, that they were having the same issue. They were able to get the PXE Boot process to finally go by:
    1) Go to BIOS
    2) SECURITY tab --> Secure Boot --> set SECURE BOOT to [DISABLED]
    3) Go to STARTUP tab --> UEFI/Legacy Boot --> set to [BOTH]
    Hopefully this assists you in getting those X230s loaded up with your image. Good Luck, and keep us posted on your progress.

  • Windows server 2012 R2 PXE boot is unworkable slow, I have this exact same set-up working in 2008 R2 What can I do?

    Hi there
    I'm trying to deploy a windows 7 image through Windows deployment services via PXE boot from a 2012 R2 server.
    Issue:    PXE boot is extremely slow, it takes up to more than 60 minutes for the device to download download the PXE boot
    Things I already tried to get this up and running:
    I've tried to change the TFTP block size via command prompt and via regedit
    I've changed the settings on the tab of the WDS role (go to WDS role -> properties on server -> Tab "tftp")
    Both actions resulted in PXE boot being even slower than it already was.
    To make sure this is not because of our environment I’ve set up the same configuration on a windows server 2008 R2, here PXE boot image is downloaded to the machine within 3 minutes.
    Both servers are set up through Hyper-V this is the configuration:
    2008 R2:
    Memory: 4096 MB
    1 Virtual processor
    IDE controller 2 hard drives
    Network adapter
    2012 R2:
    Memory: 4096 MB
    32 virtual processors
    SCSI controller 2 hard drives
    Network adapter
    I can’t imagine that PXE boot is not working because of the differences of the Hard drives controllers or because of the amount of the virtual processors.
    Windows server 2012 R2 seems to handle PXE boot TFTP differently in comparison to 2008 R2.
    Do you guys know what I can do/try to get this working?

    Hi Jacques Rodrigues,
    You can run Windows Deployment Services on Hyper-V virtual machines,
    that the performance will often be degraded, particularly during the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) download phase. This phase is very resource-intensive and may
    fail if insufficient resources are available on your server running Hyper-V.
    If you are using multicast, Check if IGMP Snooping is enabled i.e. Routers that support multicasting. In particular, Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) snooping should
    be enabled on all devices. This will cause your network hardware to forward multicast packets only to those devices that are requesting data. If IGMP snooping is turned off, multicast packets are treated as broadcast packets, and will be sent to every device
    in the subnet.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Surface Pro 3 PXE Boot Error

    Hi there,
    I am using MDT 2013 on a WDS 2008 R2 and everytime i tried to image the tablet via PXE boot through the Surface Pro 3 ethernet adapter, i get this error:
    Wizard Error:
    A connection to the deployment (my deployment share) could not be made.
    The following network device did not have a driver installed.
    PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_2B38&SUBSYS_045E0001&REV_00
    Retry: Try again to connect to the deployment share.
    Cancel: Give up, cancelling any in-progress task sequence.
    PLEASE HELP!

    I bought a Belkin USB2.0 adapter and connected to my Pro 3 while the Pro 3 ethernet adapter is connected as well. So 2 network cables are needed. I pxed boot using the Pro 3 ethernet adapter and deploy the image using the Belkin2.0 adapter. Error didnt
    come back and deployment was successful. I mean this is a workaround but it works in my environment. The Belkin2.0 drivers are in WinPE and MDT.

    Hotfix loaded but didn't help.
    Found a few articles referring to rebuilding the perf counter library. I ran "lodctr /R" failed first time then worked the second time. I believe the errors:
    The Open Procedure for service "WDSTFTP" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\wdstftp.dll" failed
    The Open Procedure for service "WDSServer" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\wdssrv.dll" failed
    The Open Procedure for service "WDSMC" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\wdsmc.dll" failed
    Are gone but PXE boot still fails.
    Do you think I might have to uninstall WDS and reinstall? "Using SCCM console to just remove PXE"
