SCCM 2012 PXE boot

Question

Hi All,
I have some weird issue in which i am trying to image Esprimo C720 desktop.
It is working perfectly fine if i create a standalone image via USB and build it.
But when i try to PXE boot the same device, it takes ip and boots up after windows screen it restarts. I thought it wud be network drivers and i have updated the same in winpe but still it doesnt work.
I feel Esprimo C720 is not supported for PXE boot. Can any one advice me if you wud have come across this issue
Regards, Pratap

Hi,
I recommend you check the log file smsts.log.
This can be found in one of several locations depending on the progress of the build and the architecture of the OS:
Windows PE before HDD format: x:\windows\temp\smstslog\smsts.log
Windows PE after HDD format: x:\smstslog\smsts.log and copied to c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
Full version Windows before SCCM agent installed: c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
Full version Windows after SCCM agent installed: c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
Full version Windows (x64) after SCCM agent installed: c:\windows\sysWOW64\ccm\logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
After Task Sequence has finished running: c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\smsts.log
After Task Sequence has finished running (x64): c:\windows\sysWOW64\ccm\logs\smsts.log
