SCCM 2012 R2 Won't PXE Boot
I'm trying to get PXE booting to work on our SCCM 2012 R2 server and am getting the dreaded "PXE-E53: No Boot file Name Received." DHCP server is in same subnet on a different machine, so supposedly no DHCP options or ip helpers are necessary. I'm
testing using a client VM with the legacy adapter for the NIC, and that machine PXE boots fine from our SCCM 2007 server.
When I test, I've been shutting down the SCCM 2007 server so that the 2012 machine is the only PXE server on our network.
In a nutshell, I'm trying to deploy Windows 8.1 using
this as a guide. The x86 and x64 boot images are enabled for PXE distribution and I've deployed the task sequence for the 8.1 OS image to all unknown computers. The DP shows content for the OS image and the boot images. PXE on the DP is enabled
and checkmarked to listen for PXE requests on all interfaces and for unknown computer support.
For troubleshooting I've tried unchecking all the PXE settinging in the DP, which removes WDS and then putting it back, as well as removing the MP role and putting it back (see attached snippet of SMSPXE.LOG).
I feel like I'm missing something basic here. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Thanks, Jason. Yes, the MAC addrss is the client I'm trying to PXE boot.
I've reviewed the health in the monitoring section. No issues in System Status, and in Content Status there is only one error regarding the DP trying to contact an old SCCM 2007 distribution point at a branch office. This
appears to be a leftover from the migration process from SCCM 2007. This old distribution point is no longer in use and I can't seem to find any references to it on my SCCM 2012 R2 installation. Not sure if this is significant or not.
I've attached a snippet of the error:

SCCM 2012 R2 Won't import boot.wim
Over the weekend I have upgraded to SCCM R2 CU4 and today I am having issues with OSD, After the install of the client, the task just ends and does not continue to install the applications.
I checked: drivers, network access account, redistributed all content to DPs still the same issue. After some googleing I found this thread "Failed to get the environment key - SMSTS.log" Sorry not allowed to link yet.
My wim versions are 6.2.9200 so I figured I need to import new boot images, not a big deal.
I have ADK 8.1 Setup up on the server. exported the boot.wim from the adk but whem I attept to import the new boot.wim sccm gives me an error. So back to google. People have stated that MacAfee can cause errors, well we don't run MacAfee, we have
Symantec. For jokes sake I disabled that anyway, but still sccm fails to import the boot.wim, for any user, including the addmin user that was used to install SCCM. As well as from multiple network locations.
Any one have any idea. Any logs I can look at?I've removed ALL drivers and all packages from SCCM, as well as task sequences pointing to driver packages. Still same issue.
I cannot add or remove drives from boot images. When attempting to add driver to a boot image. the dialog where I select the boot image is just blank and does not list any boot images that are in sccm console.
When attempting to update files on distribution points from the boot images that exist i get this error message.
Error: Boot image to update:

SCCM 2012 sp1 - can't add boot image - Only finalized boot images are supported.
so when i updated to sp1 i had to install the new assessment and deployment kit which i have done.
when i try to add a boot image to sccm now i get the error:
You can not import this boot image. Only finalized boot images are supported. For more information press F1.
i have searched technet and on old versions of sccm you could re-install waik to fix this issue, i have tried re-installing ADK and its still doing the same.
has anyone had this problem on 2012 sp1?Hi,
It works to import x86 image of windows 8 and now I have some problems when I try to import x64 boot image of 8.1.
Where I can see errors in logs. Are sow many log files and I'm little confuse and I cant find error to see what is the reason of this error.
And the error is:
Error: Data Source

Thinkpad 10 SCCM 2012 R2 x64 WINPE OSD boot wim
Trying to inject drivers in to my CM12 x64 boot wim (ADK and MDT 2013 integration with CM12) for the new Thinkpad 10 Tablet. The x86 worked flawlessly and touch screen works on the x86 builds even my S1 Yoga. Errors galore with the x64 versions of the drivers from the SCCM pack. Being UEFI boot only both versions are needed and not all my locations will have the dock for using a keyboard so touch just needs to work.
Here is what successfully got added,the 2 display drivers and thats it. I started with all the drivers and worked in reverse by removing each driver after every error.
from SCCM:

Any help is appreciated and parkerj, as usual I am willing to be your huckleberry if needed. On a unrelated item any tips for removing the lenovo scup data from my wsus/scup environment? We had an issue and now i cannot publish the data. Whick makes me sad as I think the Lenovo SCUP catalog shows good progress. Primary issue is knowing what applies to what without publishing everything.Hi,
UEFI BIOS Version: GWET23WW (1.23)
I have managed to implement drivers in a different way. I have created a package containing all drivers and placed it in a part of task sequence running inside installed operating system instead of running in WinPE. There is a script inside a package looking like this:
Start /w .\win\Chipset\setup.exe -s
Start /w pnputil -i -a .\WIN\TXEI\INF\TXEI.inf
Start /w setup.exe -SILENT
Start /w .\WIN\Audio\setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\Bluetooth\setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\Fingerprint\WBF_SPI_DDK_Extended_Setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\GPS\setup.msi /qn
Start /w .\HOTKEY\setup.exe /S /B /H
pnputil -i -a .\WIN\MONITOR\TPLCD.INF
Start /w .\WIN\NFC\setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\PMDriver\setup.exe -S -SMS
Start /w .\WIN\WLAN\setup.exe -s
reg import .\OSFIXES\ALSOR\ALSOR_Apply.reg
For anyone interested just make sure you follow correct paths to executables as presented in this script.
After running it I am left with Security Device unrecognized in Device Manager so I have to add another task sequence for Restart and than another one with a line with a package for Security Device and runing this as a command: pnputil -i -a TXEI.inf
Using regular pre-driver deploy task sequence commands in WinPE enviorenment unfortunately didn't helped so I have ended with workarounds presented here.
If anyone can add something to this I will be more than glad to hear. -
Wds pxe boot - tftp download loop - 4 times F12
Hi
I just set up a new wds server 2012
When trying to pxe boot a client, it loops like this:
Downloaded WDSNBP from...
WDSNBP started using DHCP referral.
Contacting server...
Architecture...
Contacting server...
TFTP download: boot\x86\wdsnbp.com
Downloaded WDSNBP from ...

Contacting Server...
TFTP download: boot\x86\wdsnbp.com
Then it goes on 4 times in a row:
"TFTP Download: Boot\x86\wdsnbp.com"
With Option "Require the user to press the F12 key..." enabled,
I have to press F12 4 times, which is 3 times too many.After the x-th download of wdsnbp.com the client continues the boot process
normally and the rest works fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
MichaelWe are experiencing the same thing.
This started after enabling scope option 67 to solve this error: PXE-E53: No Boot filename received.
This only occurs on selected machines. We do employ IP Helpers and are thinking this could be an issue. -
Troubleshooting PXE boot issue
SCCM R2 not able to PXE boot from Surface pro. I am new to environment. How can I tell if PXE broadcasts are making it to device and to sccm ? I recieve the following output in CMTRACE in SMSPXE.log .. Am I doing something completely wrong ?
Client boot action reply: <ClientIDReply><Identification Unknown="0" ItemKey="16781189" ServerName=""><Machine><ClientID/><NetbiosName/></Machine></Identification><PXEBootAction LastPXEAdvertisementID=""
LastPXEAdvertisementTime="" OfferID="" OfferIDTime="" PkgID="" PackageVersion="" PackagePath="" BootImageID="" Mandatory=""/></ClientIDReply>
Mjsmspxe.log will display the MAC address if the broadcast reached the server.
You have to use Wireshark or Netmon if you want to find out if the response reaches the client.

Task Sequence Wizzard Will Not Launch During PXE Boot
We are preparing for a firm-wide PC refresh. We just purchase several brand new Dell OptiPlex 7020 Desktop computers and I'm trying to put our image on these systems.
I downloaded the driver CAB file for this model computer, created\imported the drivers into SCCM.
Unfortunately, when I PXE boot from the new PC, it appears to load the WIM file, but the Task Sequence Wizard does not display. It just displays the System Center Configuration Manager white screen. The task sequence wizard never appears and then the
PC eventually reboots on its own.
Any advice would be most appreciated..

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
Complete PXE response is as follows:

I've been hammering this for about 10 hours now (or to be honest, it's been hammering me) and it must be something very simple I'm missing. I have a feeling that I'm doing something I used to do in 2007 and whatever that is, it does not work in
2012.

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

SCCM 2012 R2 PxE can't boot - your pc need to be repired.
Dear All,
These days, I upgraded SCCM 2012 to R2 , after that PxE can't boot , and shows a blue screen that your pc need to be repired, same issue like this:http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/02/sccm-2012-task-sequence-fails-with-bcd.html
And, i have also re-configed the pxe more times follow by this acticle , and still failed.
And, after I replace the \RemoteInstall\SMSTemp\2014.01.08.12.31.26.01.{xxxxxxxxx}.boot.bcd to \RemoteInstall\Tmp\x86x64{xxxxxxx}.bcd, and the PC can boot to the winpe well. that means the pc using Tmp folder's BCD store
to boot to WinPE, and not using SMSTemp's.
I check the PxE process:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722358(v=ws.10).aspx
PXEBoot.com downloads Bootmgr.exe and the BCD store, and I think PXEBoot.com should download BCD store from SMSTemp folder, and should not be the Tmp folder.
So, my question is that why te PXEBoot.com download BCD from Tmp folder ? And how can I change it to download BCD from SMSTemp folder. ? I have been getting to crazy about this fucking problem.
NemoReinstalling WDS and the PXE was not the answer, at least not for me, but I dunno about the original poster as he kept quiet.
For now I am trying to get SCCM2012 R2 running as this is the topic for my final projekt.
But I am stuck here, the problem is the same as the original poster mentioned.
Even thougt DHCP options are set to my CM and smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com, pxe keeps loading boot\... and fails.
Making a copy from smsboot to boot and renaming the file fixes it in a dirty way.
The WDS-service has never been configured manually, after rolling back to a fresh Server and installing CU1 first nothing changed about that (PXE worked at all at least) und reinstalling the living dead out of the roles and features fixes nothing.
The remoteinstall folder gets populated everytime, with the SMS related stuff and the wds related stuff, I guess (boot, SMSboot, ...).
I tried various variations of the start path, TFTP still loads from boot instead smsboot.
The Images have been temporarily replaced with the one from our old site.
I renewed the whole site, this bugs me since 2012 R1 and R2 is the second site too.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help with an working solution.
Let me know if you need some more informations, site is described below.
In case this should get another Thread, let me know.
Thank you guys :)
Hyper-V Environment, Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on all three Hosts (Gen 2),
Followed mainly the MS TLG for SCCM2012 for this, supported by windows-noob.
Have a nice day.
Little Edit right here: renaming the file only helps with the 89 error thing, but it doesn't help booting the sccm image. -
Is it possible to PXE boot to capture a ref image in SCCM 2012?
Hello,
I've created a master image via SCCM OSD. I would like to be able to PXE boot and capture that master image. I don't want to use a capture media like USB or CDROM.
I would like to automate the capture. My current master machine isn't joined to the domain. I created a test task sequence of Build and Capture. I disabled the "Build" section. I deployed the task sequence. When I PXE boot I'm able to choose my
Task Sequence but I get all kinds of errors.
Is this idea I have even possible?
Using SCCM 2012 on Server 2012. Client machines are Win 7 Ent. and Win 8 VMs.
Thank you,

Dr. ChuckYou don't even have to deploy it to unknown computers if you introduce the VM to ConfigMgr by importing it to console with it's MAC Address. Then you do a collection "Build Master Image" and add your VM there. You can deploy Software updates (if you want
them to go with the sequence) to that collection also. Deploy your TS to the collection and PXE boot your VM. -
Does SCCM 2012 R2 supports PXE boot from Unix servers.
Does SCCM 2012 R2 supports PXE boot from Unix DHCP servers.
The client has DHCP on Unix servers. There are no Windows DHCP servers in the environment. Do we need Windows DHCP server for PXE boot.You can use any modern DHCP server in your environment. DHCP is just used to help point the BIOS/Network Card to the right server, which in this case is your ConfigMgr Distribution Point with PXE Enabled.
It is strongly recommended to use IP Helper Addresses instead of the DHCP options though.
I hope that helps,

SCCM 2012: PXE deploy: import boot images?
Hi,
We fully configured sccm 2012 and did osd via bootable media. Now we want to configure PXE.
We enabled it (http://prajwaldesai.com/deploying-sccm-2012-part-14-build-and-capture-windows-7-64-bit/).
My questions:
*Is that all that needs to be done?
*It seems to me we need to import boot images in WDS?
*If we do, which to import then (both x86 and x64 probably) + there is a winpe and a winpe.....wim made by sccm, which one to import then?
*on DHCP we change the boot server hostname but what about the bootfile name, what is the path of that? \boot\x64\wdsnbp.com?
Please advise.

Jan HoedtI keep on getting TFTP open timeout
I find in smspxe.log that it reaches to the SCCM-server but then something goes wrong. Not sure what.
How can I troubleshoot find more info, please advise?

Note: what I also can see:
Client IP Address: 000.000.000.000
Your IP Address: 000.000.000.000
Server IP Address: 000.000.000.000
Relay Agent IP Address: 000.000.000.000 -
My test machines cannot PXE boot.
My lab environment is very simple:
10.10.0.0/24 subnet
10.10.0.5 = Server2012, DHCP, DNS, SQL Server 2008 R2 Sp2
10.10.0.7 = Server2012, SCCM2012
All machines are Oracle VM Box 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 respond 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: 10.10.0.7
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

Setup of PXE boot for SCCM 2012
I have setup SCCM Server on a test network with IP 192.168.9.10. I have also setup a DC which is running AD, DNS and DHCP and its IP is 192.168.9.2
On what server do I install WDS and how do I configure WDS/DHCP to point SCCM 2012 to enable PXE bootIf the client is in the same subnet as the PXE enabled DP no further network configuration is necessary. If it isn't you have to configure
1. IP Helper on your switch/router to direct the request to the PXE enabled DP (preferred)
OR
2. Add DHCP Scope option to direct the request to the PXE enabled DP
See how to do it here
