Help with Windows Deployment Services
The WDS service was running. I restarted the service and tested with same result.
What is the correct bootfile name to be using? I have seen via Google searches - boot\pxeboot.n12 , boot\x64\pxeboot.com and boot\x64\wdsnbp.com.
This is how I added DHCP option 60....
NETSH
NETHSH>DHCP server \\nameofserver
add optiondef 60 PXEClient String 0 comment=”Option added for PXE Support”
set optionvalue 60 STRING PXEClient
show optionvalue all
exit
And this is how I removed option 60...
netsh dhcp server \\servername delete optiondef 60
Hopefully that is correct.

PXE Boot issues with Latitude E5450.
Our SCCM 2012 is SP1 and it does not support Windows 8.1.
I had tried to capture the OS through network but there were issues connecting and smsts.log indicated share not reachable. Hence, I captured the OS in the D:\ of the machine.
Now after creating TS and deploying the OSD machine boots to PXE and starts to download boot image files and instantly restarts to Windows. I have performed below steps..
1. Got the network drivers and updated the boot image with the same
2. Checked the BIOS settings and time is updated correctly
3. Used an old boot image that was used to capture another model laptop with Windows 8.1 and still same issue.
Getting the below errors in smsts.log

Any advise would be helpful..Our issue with the Latitude E5450 ended up being due to a boot image that wasn't being properly updated and/or pointed to during the task sequence set up. There also seemed to be some strangeness with the replication because the WIM file listed on
the server file system was showing as, for example, boot.XXXX.XXXX.wim (double name). As a result, when we would update the boot image with the correct NIC driver, the system was still pointing to, for example, boot.XXXX.wim.
We ended up re-creating the boot image from scratch using our base boot.wim image and using the 19.2.0.0/12.12.50.4 driver version for the I218-LM NIC, found at the download link below. If you recreate the boot image, don't forget to re-add all of the
NIC drivers, redistribute the boot image, and change which boot image your Task Sequence will be pointing to.

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,

Windows Deployment Services will not start
After advertising a image to my remote client computer I receive this error:
PXE-T01: the specified file was not found
PXE-E3B: TFTP error - file not found
PXE-M0F: Exiting Broadcom PXE ROM
I logged into the server and noticed the "windows deployment service" is not running. I tried to start the service and it failed to start. I then checked the "Site System Status" log and noticed there was a "Critical" message for the PXE service point role,
and a "warning" message for the management point role.
On 8/16/10 for the PXE service point role I see this critical error: PXE Control Manager detected PXE service point is not responding to pxe requests. The error is 16389. Possible cause: pxe service point is not started or not responding.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
Thank youThank you everyone for your patience and assistance. I have resolved the issue after double, and tripple checking everything. The problem was that the boot images (x64, and x86) were not pointed to SMSPXEIMAGES$ distribution which is the server share. I
pointed it to the Server only. After pointing to both the share, and the server all works fine.
So the initial issue with the deployment service not starting was to uninstall WDS, and the PXE option in SCCM. During the troubleshooting I accidently deleted the SMSPXEIMAGES$ distribution point from the boot image which caused another issue after resolving
the windows deployment problem.
Hope this helps the next person that has this issue.
The solution exists already in the link that I gave you, see the point N°5 :)

Hello everyone,
Give you a little background on the hardware/software which we are running to do a Windows 8.1 Deployment, we have an VM of Windows Server 2008 R2 with Windows Deployment Services installed and configured correctly. For the boot image it's a Windows 8.1
WIM and as for the Install Image we have a base image of Win 8.1 with all drivers installed for an HP EliteBook 8540w , we Syspreped and then capture the image using the W2K capture on PXE to capture and upload the image to the server. This is where we first
ran into the problem of connecting to the server and had to inject the lan drivers to have network connectivity. After the image was uploaded to the server, we thought to try and run a deployment of that image on an identical laptop. PXE boot into that Image,
it asks for domain credentials which are accepted it begins the installation process and fails at "Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed"?
We just set up client logging on the server and it is useless it just says that the driver is missing, but what driver is missing? There are thousands, which one?
Another forum has this issue: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/4cf0b378-09d0-4e0b-bc6e-3d898b668f98/during-deployment-windows-installation-cannot-continue-because-a-required-driver-could-not-be?forum=w8itproinstallHi,

http://support.brainwaregroup.com/kb/article/AA-00702/0/Error%3A-Windows-installation-cannot-continue-because-a-required-driver-could-not-be-installed.html
Also, please try to find out Setup logs from the client computer, and we can see the details in the Setup log:
If the failure occurs in Windows PE before the disk configuration page of the WDS client is completed, you can find the logs at the
X:\Windows\Panther folder. Use Shift+F10 to open a command prompt, and then change the directory to the location.

Windows Deployment Services "the specified image file is either invalid or corrupted"
I'm trying to add images to a virtual server running WS08 R2 but the only type of images that get accepted are the vista x86, nothing else works,
I tried the following image files:
windows server 2008 R2
windows server 2008 x64
windows 7 x64
windows 7 x86
windows vista x64
and always the same error: "the specified image file is either invalid or corrupted"
the machine configuration is as follows:
Virtual machine on Hyper-V 2 (host is WS08 R2 Enterprise)
2048 MB RAM
25 GB free diskspace
running these roles:
AD
DNS
DHCP
WDS
hope someone can helpWas a solution for this ever found? I am experiencing the same issue with the following setup:
I am having an issue with a virtualized Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise blue-screening any time I try and add an install image through the Windows Deployment Services mode.
Server:
Lenovo TD200x – 3822-43U
Dual Intel Xeon E5530 CPU’s
Installed Memory: 28.0 GB
Two raid arrays.
Array 1 – 500 GB Mirror – hosting Windows 2008
R2 Enterprise running Hyper-V
Array 2 – 1 TB RAID 10 – hosting Virtual Machines
and Virtual Hard Disks
We have the latest firmware update installed on this physical machine
Our physical server is the Lenovo TD200x machine. On it, we are running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Within Hyper-V, I am running a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise domain.
Virtual Server 1 is a domain controller running Windows Server 2008 R2. It is configured with roles of: Active Directory Domain Services, DNS,
and DHCP.
Virtual Server 2 is a member server running Windows Server 2008 R2. It is configured with the role of: Windows Deployment Services.
The error is occurring on Virtual Server 2. After everything is installed on this server, and it is setup as a domain member and has the Windows
Deployment services role added, I go through and ad a Windows 7 boot image within Windows Deployment Services with no problem. When I go through and try to add a Windows 7 install image, however, during the creation of that install image, the Virtual
Server 2 pops up an error that reads:
Error occurred while trying to execute command.
Error Code: 0x80070002
After this, the system will immediately blue-screen and reboot with a STOP 0x000000F4 Error
I have tried using various Windows 7 DVD’s and even using the Windows 7 ISO file, mounting it as a drive. All with the same results.
I have erased the virtual server and recreated it with the same results. I have removed the entire domain and recreated both servers with the same results.
I have setup the physical box as a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller and added the Windows Deployment Services role and did NOT have any problems
going about it in that manner. Therefore, the issue lies within running this in a Virtualized server within Hyper-V. -
An error occurred while trying to start the Windows Deployment Services server
After rebooting the server, I cannot start the Windows Deployment Services anymore.
It worked perfectly before the reboot. When starting it manually these errors appear in the event log:
The Windows Deployment Services Server service terminated with service-specific error 1460 (0x5B4).
An error occurred while trying to initialize multicast manager. Windows Deployment Services server will be shutdown.
Error Information: 0x5B4
An error occurred while trying to start the Windows Deployment Services server.
Error Information: 0x5B4
This is on server standard beta 3.I have removed the server from the WDS, then I have uninstalled the role, rebooted, reinstalled the role.
When I started the WDS the server was back in there, but when I wanted to start the service I got the message "the windows deployment services configuration is corrupt". I have triggered these commands to reset this:

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.
CheersHi 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.

I have created a custom capture image in WDS. Now when I try to boot my reference PC into this image the PC hangs at "Loading files". The reference PC is running Windows 7 and I am using Windows Server 2012 Standard on my server.
I have followed the instructions on how to create the custom capture image on the server to a fault. I PXE boot the PC and it shows the capture images after I hit F12. The problem is that it starts to boot and then hangs about 2/3 way through the progress

Windows Deployment Services Issues
i have a Windows deployment Services server running , and at the same server i am running dhcp as well as dns server. the network series is 10.241.0.1 to 10.241.0.105 , questions:
Q: if i want the dhcp server to offer ip address in the network of 10.241.1.1 is it possible or i need to take the dhcp server in the network series of 1.
Q: sometimes there is a problem in wds , the client pc says no dhcp proxies were offered, how do i resolve that ?
Q:While entering the scope in the dhcp server, the dhcp server says the IP is overlapped or invalid ip address, any solutions ?
Q: i have multiple operating systems to deploys via network, so how is that possible , should i create a new image group or can i add the images in the same images and will it ask during the startup ? i tried by adding the other os to the group , the first
os gets booted and installed but when i select the second operating system says, wdsclient error, no dhcp offered , , , , and so.Hi,
According to your description, I list your questions and the suggestions for each question as bellow:
Q: if i want the dhcp server to offer ip address in the network of 10.241.1.1 is it possible or i need to take the dhcp server in the network series of 1.
If there are 2 network, 10.241.0.1/24 and 10.241.1.1/24, and you want the DHCP server (which is belong to network 10.241.0.1/24 ) to provide DHCP service to clients on network 10.241.1.1/24. You may configure a DHCP relay agent on network 10.241.1.1/24, in
order to forwarder DHCP messages between clients (which are on network 10.241.1.1/24) and DHCP server. Detailed information about how to configure DHCP relay agent you may reference the link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd469685.aspx
Q: sometimes there is a problem in wds , the client pc says no dhcp proxies were offered, how do i resolve that ?
On the client which says no DHCP proxies were offered, open CMD, type “ipconfig /all” and hit Enter, check to see if it obtains the correct parameters. If not, type “ipconfig /release“ and “ipconfig /renew” to renew IP address.
Q:While entering the scope in the dhcp server, the dhcp server says the IP is overlapped or invalid ip address, any solutions ?
On a DHCP server, you can create only on scope for a subnet. If you have created a scope from 10.241.0.1 to 10.241.0.105, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0, then a scope with network ID 10.241.0.0 can’t be created. You may use
Exclusions to resolve this problem. If the problem still exit, please provide the scope and relate parameters you want to add, and the exiting scope you have already added on the DHCP server.
Q: i have multiple operating systems to deploys via network, so how is that possible , should i create a new image group or can i add the images in the same images and will it ask during the startup ? i tried by adding the other os to the group ,
the first os gets booted and installed but when i select the second operating system says, wdsclient error, no dhcp offered , , , , and so.
You must have a working DHCP server with an active scope on the network because Windows Deployment Services uses PXE, which relies on DHCP for IP addressing. Make sure that your DHCP implement is working and let us resolve the above 3 problems first. Besides,
you may reference the link for detailed information about Windows Deployment Services Getting Started Guide:

Windows Deployment Service. Network Profile Radio Buttons greyed out with R2
Hi All
I have downloaded and setup Server 2008 R2 (not yet activated). I have added the following roles "DHCP Server", "DNS Server", "Active Directory Domain Services" and "Windows Deployment Services". I can PXE boot a test client machine and (using the boot.win from windows 7 dvd) multicast a XP Image to it. This setup is connected via a 100 Mb switch and is an isolated network.
Under windows deployment services - if I right click my server - select properties - network tab "Network Profile is greyed out". I have tried running wdsutil /Set-TransportServer /Server:big /Profile:100Mbps but get the following error message: "Windows Deployment Services Management Utility Version 6.1.7600.16385. Error code 0xC110011F This WDS transport server does not support network profiles.
I have tried this on two hardware setups:
An Intel D915GUX 3GHz 2GB RAM and Marvel Yukon 88E8050 ethernet controller.
An Intel D965 Core2Duo 1.86GHz 2GB RAM and Intel 82566DM Network controller.
Incidently I have done the same setup with Server 2008 (not R2) on the D965 and the Network Profile radio buttons are not greyed out. If I upgrade the same test machine to server 2008 R2 the Network Profile radio buttons are greyed out. Is this a design change, does Server 2008 R2 no longer support network profiles as I am now unable to select 10 100 or 1000 Mbs ?
If more information is required or if anything needs further detail please let me know.
Thanks for any help.
Liam.DIs there any way at all to manually set or control the network profile? In my environment, a SCCM\WDS multicast stream is bottoming out on speed and network utilization when the stream crosses a Nexus 7009 router. Speeds go from 200 Mbps to 20 mbps. I have
a theory that this "new" automatic configuration is placing the clients in a slow network profile that are on the opposite side of the router and I have been unable to find a way to speed of the transmission. I have also ruled out the "master
client" slowing down the stream buy using different clients only connecting to a stream 1 at a time. I have also ruled out the router as the source of the problem by having a VLC client listen to the multicast stream on the same side of the router as
the slow clients. The VLC client (unknown to SCCM\WDS) was able to receive the transmissions at 20 % utilization / 200 Mbps.

I have installed WDS service in my dell server windows 2008 server R2. I am using WDS server and Dhcp server in different machine.I have received error "PXE:E-61 Media test failure check cable ", when I trying to install
OS from my WDS server. But I have created a one partition in VMware and successfully installed windows 2008 R2 server from Windows deployment service. But when I am trying to install the OS in another dell server from WDS, I have received this error.
Any help?Hi,
For PXE boot, we need the client boot from network. Check your boot option in BIOS settings. Meanwhile, we need WDS server and
DHCP server accessible. If the client locate in a different subnet, IP helper should be configured to point to WDS server and DHCP server.
If everything is configured correctly, I recommend you contact with the manufacture.
Hope this helps. -
Slow PXE boot. TFTP windowing issue
Hi
we have just set up SCCM 2012 and have configured OSD. It works well apart form the length of time it takes to download the boot.wim on a PXE boot.
We took some network traces and noticed that TFTP was behaving as if the Windowing was set to 1 so every block was being ACK'ed before another was sent.
I checked the Windowing size on the bcd file of the boot image and the setting was
ramdisktftpwindowsize 4
Any ideas why TFTP doesn;t seem to be picking this up?The Microsoft article would suggest that the Window Size options should be available in the latest implementations of PXE

TFTP enhancements
What value does this change add?
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) enhancements result in improved performance.
What works differently?
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) has been enhanced and delivers improved results in performance.
You use the Windows Deployment Services Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server to download the files
that are needed to do a network boot using the Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE). PXE technology is a standard created by Intel that establishes a common and consistent set of pre-boot services within the boot firmware. The end goal is to enable a client
to do a network boot and receive a network boot program (NBP) from a network boot server.
TFTP enhancements include:
Scalable buffer management Provides
support for a shared client buffer; allows buffering an entire file instead of a fixed size buffer for each client. Scalable TFTP buffer feature allows maintaining a single buffer per file in the server. When the server is buffering a file in shared mode,
different sessions can read from the same shared buffer.
Scalable port management Ability
to use a dynamic or a fixed range of UDP ports to service clients with shared UDP port allocation. Sharing the same server port among different TFTP sessions improves scalability because there are sufficient ports when more clients are actively using the server.
Variable-size transmission window Allows
the client and server to determine the largest workable window size, resulting in improved TFTP performance. Provides the ability to dynamically determine the optimal window size.
Maximum TFTP block size Previously implemented
as a registry setting, this is now exposed to users through WDSUTIL and the WDS MMC snap-in. -
Windows Deployment Services and Windows 8.1 Tablet Autorotation Issue
Hi,
I have been trying to deploy a vanilla Windows 8.1 image to Fujitsu Stylistic Q702 Hybrid Tablet using WDS, however this appears to prevent the automatic screen rotation functionality.
When installed from the Windows DVD, automatic rotation is available without any additional driver installation.
Are there any components that need to be added to the unattend files to allow this feature to work?
Regards,
So-CratesHi,
WDS provides PXE boot to install windows, it has nothing to do with windows component. I don’t think WDS is the culprit here.
I recommend you ask in manufacture forum, they may give you more effective suggestions.
Thanks for understanding.
