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

  • Lenovo G580 boot menu is not working when pressing F2 and F12 key

    QuestionI bought a new Lenovo G580 series laptop. After installation of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit edition, a problem revealed when Lenovo driver get installed.
    When I installed Intel HD 3000 graphics driver and restarted laptop, the Window was unable to start normally. It displayed an error, so a recovery program started which was recommended. But this program failed to resolve the problem. Later, I tried again to load Windows normally but the blue screen fatal error showed up.
    I attempted to reinstall Windows again, but after restarting window, the boot menu was not showing up after pressing F12 key. F2 key was also not working either.
    I spoke to a Lenovo techincal assistance expert and they suggested me to remove battery and charger and press start key for 30 seconds. 
    My problem still remains the same, and I am unable to access boot menu. 
    The bios version is  62cn34ww. ls there a way I can get this running again?
    AnswerPlease take note that the suggestion below is just a troubleshooting guide. If the steps could not fix the issue, you need to send you machine in for service for further assistance.
    Try removing the hard disk , then press F2 button to enter BIOS
    If you are successful in entering the bios, pleaes load set up defaults
    Save setting by pressing F10 and shut the machine down
    Connect the hard drive back and check if can enter BIOS via F2 and F12 to see boot menu

  • Tried Everything - Boot Camp will NOT work!

    Hello everyone, for about the past 7 days, I have tried installing boot camp on my macbook pro late 2011. My MBP Has an hdd in the optical drive bay, and a hybrid drive in the hdd bay. Recently, after the failure to install boot camp the first few times, I bought an enclosure for my optical drive. I have a copy of windows online in iso format, so everything should be working, but, it has not. I have tried using a bootable usb flash drive, with SEVERAL different ones, to no avail. I have made boot camp look as if I had a MBA, to no avail. I have burned a bootable iso to a blank cd, to no avail. NOTHING HAS WORKED. I have waited around 32 hours of work in 7 days to post onto this website, thinking I can do it myself, but  I simply cannot. When I did the bootable usb drive method, I got a please insert the bootable disk, and then press any key. And then when I did the bootable blank dvd with a bootable iso on it, all my mbp would do is blink that cursor thingy on the black screen. EVERY single usb drive was taken out for the computer. The only things plugged in were my charger, and the external optical drive bay. Please help me with any useful info, as it would help me so much.
    P.s. I have also used Wine/Crossover. I am ONLY doing this so I can game windows games on Steam. It is the sole and only reason for this venture. Crossover did not have enough support for the games I wanted to play, and would crash often, and Wine will not work with some of the newer games, with very little support/incentive from developers. Please if I have done something wrong by trying to use these, or maybe I'm just not using them right, please tell me.
    If anyone has any other solutions to windows games played on a mac through steam, please tell me, It would mean a lot.
    This has been a very frustarating adventure, and I really would love to get this resolved. Whoever gives the advice that ends up working, will get best answer. Thanks!

    If you had done any google searches for installing Windows on your model Mac computer you might of found out that Windows will ONLY INSTALL from the BUILT IN DVD drive when it is installed INSIDE the system. So since you have replaced that drive with a hard drive there is absolutely NO WAY to install Windows on your Mac. It will not install from a USB key, It will not install from an external DVD drive, it will not install from any other source other than the built in DVD drive when that drive is installed INSIDE the system.

    Hi,
    Does the arrow and esc key works in Windows?
    If it doesnt work in windows also then i can suggest you to try doing a hard reset and check..else could be a hardware issue

  • Boot Camp Wifi Not Working; Windows Vista 32 Bit

    Hey, alright, I got this huge problem. I installed Windows Vista 32-Bit edition on Boot Camp 2.0. I installed the drivers on my Leopard CD. For some reason I can connect to the net on the Leopard side (which I am using right now) and I just can't get a connection on the Windows side. So remember I did install the drivers on the Leopard disc. Also, when I go to device support on Vista, the drivers have yellow triangles beside them. I tried to hook the ethernet cable up and it still won't have an internet connection. I do have the Macbook Pro Aluminum model (newest one) so can someone please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong? Maybe you can tell me a driver I can download to get this working? Thanks!

    Boot Camp will not support Vista on newer iMacs, you will need to upgrade to Windows 7. Also as an FYI there is a Boot Camp forum, you can locate it by clicking Apple Support Communities and then in the search field type Boot Camp.
    Best of luck,
    Roger

  • MacBook Pro mid 2010, gray screen at start up, boot from dvd not working.

    Backstory:
    I was in the process of installing Windows 7 using boot camp, but I was a little bit low on HD space. So, I deleted the user account that had a ton of stuff, and did some other crap that messed up my hard drive. So my computer just won't boot. It shows a gray screen 24/7, going into safe boot/safe boot + verbose doesn't fix the problem. I tried booting from an OSX Leopard dvd, but it won't work when I hold down C, and when I choose the Mac OS X Install DVD option after holding the option key, when I click the arrow button it freezes and doesn't boot. I have Lion installed, and apple says not to boot with an older version of OSX DVD, but there is no Lion DVD.
    What do I do?
    PS: I'm trying to boot using the DVD so I can reformat my hard drive, trying to do so in Recovery HD doesn't work because it says it 'Can't unmount drive'.

    Rockswim,
    did it do that only once, or does it do that every time you restart it?

  • Windows 8 Pro Final (9200) BitLocker in UEFI mode not working, Element not found

    Hi,
    with the latest bios (either 1.37a (for Windows 8 Beta Driver test (June 2012) or 1.39 (Current) of the W520 and final release of Windows 8 Pro (Build 9200) BitLocker comes up with "Element not found" when trying to activate for the system drive in UEFI only mode.
    In a new legacy only mode installation BitLocker works fine.
    In both cases all devices in device manager are recognized. TPM 1.2 is active and working with e.g. the client security solution and fingerprint software.
    I thought the UEFI / BitLocker issues have already been solved?!
    Is there still an issue with the UEFI only mode of the W520?
    Any thoughts or a bios update within sight?
    Thx in advance,
    nasenbaer
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Haven't heard of this issue with Win8.  The issue with Win7/UEFI/bitlocker from last year is definitely solved.
    Does this link help?
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/​articles/11518.cannot-turn-on-or-resume-bitlocker-​...
    EDIT:  I tried this just now with Win8 Pro on T420 (same BIOS code base as W520) in UEFI mode.  And bitlocker works fine.  So I'm sure what problem is happening on your W520.

  • Lost sound on ipad, re-booted, checked settings, not working

    I suddenly lost my sound on my ipad after refreshing a live feed. I have checked all settings, re-booted, etc and still no sound.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
    iPhone: Can’t hear through the receiver or speakers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1630
    http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

  • Macbook Pro won't boot up, recovery not working

    A few days ago my macbook pro crashed. it was being unresponsive for about 5 minutes so i turned it off and on again (ive done this a lot). except this time when i went to turn it back on i saw the grey folder with a question mark on it. i looked a lot into what to do but am currently stuck because i have tried everything ive seen and nothing has worked.
    i went into internet recovery holding option when starting up because internet recovery was the only option it provided.
    i have tried to install a new copy of OSX but when i get to the screen where it asks where i want to install it to, there are no locations for me to chose from.
    i have tried going into disk utility but it doesnt give me the option to select my main disk, only the recovery one it just downloaded.
    it seems that the computer is completely disconnected from the operating system.
    I believe the problem might have something to do with me going a long time without updating software (i know it's stupid but i have a hatred for constant updates when the version i use works just fine)
    I need to keep my files from this computer, it is absolutely crucial that my hard drive is not wiped.
    is there a way to back up my files from this stage? i don't have a backup from before it crashed (sorry for not expecting my computer to just fail on me)
    I have had this computer for less than a year.
    so the main thing I need is to recover my files, even if it requires physically taking the hard drive out of the laptop to recover them on another computer.
    any help is appreciated, thanks.
    (p.s. I forget exactly which OS it was on, but i believe it was Mavericks, not sure which version of it)

    The symptoms that you are describing indicate that your internal HDD has died.  Your data may be lost or require professional recovery services to retrieve.
    Enter the serial number (on the bottom) of your MBP here and post back the model information:

  • Boot camp assistant not working correctly...

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 using boot camp and everything goes fine and dandy, it partitions and then shuts down and restarts and goes to the installing windows screen and freezes about a tenth of the way through. I'm wondering if it's the drive I'm using or if anyone has any suggestions? Being that I'm running on a Macbook Air, I just bought an LG GP10 external CD/DVD drive. I've tried plugging it in a number of different ways and so far no luck. By that I mean it's one of those drives that needs external power, but it gets the power from two USB drives. When I'm running on my Mac it works fine taking the power from one USB, but for some reason it starts to get weird when it goes to try and install Windows. I don't have two USB ports next to each other and the Y cable it comes with is very short, meant for two USBs next to each other. I also have a Belkin USB hub that I tried using a number of different ways but so far nothing is working... it's very frustrating and I'm just looking for any suggestions anyone might be able to offer. Is it possible power management is the problem? If you need more information or my description wasn't sufficient (I know it's confusing!) just ask, I'll be stalking this forum until I figure this out.

    With the BCA 3.0 the Driver Download never worked except for MacBook Airs.
    The Boot Driver version 3.0 are located on your OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD.
    Boot into Windoes and insert that DVD. Usually the Driver Setup starts automatically.
    After that you can use the downloaded Driver Packages 3.1 and 3.2 and install them while in Windows (these are .exe files - only executable in Windows).
    Hope it helps

  • Boot Camp Assistant Not Working - Mountain Lion, Windows 8

    Ok, so I'm trying to dual boot my computer with Mountain Lion and Windows 8. I already have Mountain Lion downloaded, and I have the ISO file for Windows 8 (because I'm a collge student, and our college has a partnership with Microsoft). The problem I'm having is when I lanch Boot Camp Assistant, it takes me through a page or 2. Then it has 2 boxes as options to check ( 1. Download the latest Windows support software from Apple; 2. Install or remove Windows 7), but I can't select the 2nd option... When I select the first, I download the support software, and then it tells me to quit boot camp. So I do, and when I open it back up, it attempts to repeat the same actions.
    What is going on?!?!?!?!

    The ISO is on your hard drives.
    download a free iso burning program for Mac (we used SimplyBurns Mac). That program runs you through the necessary steps to properly burn the iso file you need. After doing so, Bootcamp recognized the installation file and everything worked as it should.

  • Boot Camp will not work after installing recovery disk

    I purchased a refurbished Macbook Pro 2012. I went ahead and installed dual ssds and used the Mac OS X recovery disk from USB flash drive. I wanted to install WIndows 7 through bootcamp. Bootcamp will not start after selecting continue. I'm not sure if boot camp is corrupted or something I did wrong.

    Well you'll need to see if that remote app has an update or if it is compatible with IOS 7.
    since you didn't state which remote app your using.
