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>
Mj

smspxe.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.

PXE boot issues with Windows Deployment Services

I am trying to move from FOG to WDS after running in to serious UEFI issues with FOG.Right now I'm stuck with machines PXE booting to WDS server.I keep getting the message ProxyDHCP service didn't reply to request on port 4011.WDS and DHCP are on different servers. There are plenty of IP addresses available, and they are on the same subnet. I did originally configure DHCP option 60, but deleted that option after troubleshooting. I have configured Windows Firewall to allow inbound and outbound connections on UDP ports 67-69 and 4011 on both DHCP server and WDS server. I have also tried just using IP address in DHCP option 66.

Strange PXE Boot Issue

This issue has me stumped. I've ordered in a new Dell system (Optiplex 3030 AIO) and I'm having issues PXE booting it, but only on some vlans. If I pxe boot in my work room where I do most of the imaging it pxe boots fine. If I try to pxe boot out on the
floor (same site) then it loads the boot.sdi but after this it tries to load the WIM file and it is very slow and it eventually fails. The message is that there is an inaccessible boot device.
The strange thing is if I take another modal desktop or even laptop, it pxe boots fine in those locations.
Something to note is I do have an SSD in the Optpliex 3030, however I have had SSDs in my laptops as well.
I have investigated the smspxe.log file and found that when it starts to load the WIM file I get an error saying "Failed to read PXE settings. The system cannot find the file specified. Error 80070002. This is further followed up with some warnings
about certificates not set.
I should also mention that I have played around with the PXE registry setting RamDiskTFTPBlockSize. I have tried all values up to 16384 with no change noticed.
Does this make sense at all?

Hi,
Really weird :( I never had this issue, but based on your input, the issue appears before the wizard so I don't think it has anything to do with the task sequences, OSes or Applications. Here's what I would do to investigate further :
Check UnattendPE_x86/64.xml to verify if there is a step running before litetouch.vbs that could cause this issue
Check WinPE log files (Netsetup.log, wpeinit.log) for additional info
If possible Try without drivers on a Hyper-V VM (Hyper-V additions are already part of the core Win7 image, so no need to add drivers)
Good luck, if you find anything, please share the solution here :)

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,
Gary

SCCM 2012 pxe boot issue

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

T430 PXE boot issues

First off let me list my hardware/software
MDT/WDS server:
MDT 2012
Windows server 2008 R2
I have a fully working MDT PXE server with a WDS images. Basically I have a MDT server that gets the PXE request and then boots off the WDS image to start the imaging process. This works fine on the lenovo thinkcenters ok and I can boot off the CD from the MDT server. But when I boot from the network card I get no response or no DHCP.
- I have downloaded all the drivers for the Thinkpad and injected them into the MDT and WDS for the WINPE image
- I have updated the BIOS to the latest ver 2.09
- I can boot from the cd just fine to my server and pull an ip
Not sure why this laptop model is failing on the boot process to the network.. Anyone see this issue?
Solved!

Resolved by applying settings "Port Fast - Enable" to the port of Cisco Switch connected to the laptop or pc.

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.

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

Hi folks,
It's been a while since I last setup my SCCM server to do OSD. I have currently just setup a new server to do this again, but I think I'm missing a few steps to get the OSD working correctly. I have WDS installed, setup PXE Service Point inside SCCM, and also have added the x86 and x64 boot images under OSD section of configmgr console. I can't remember if I have to add those same boot images to the WDS console as well, or what other steps I need to do to get this thing pushing out my os images again. Anyone point me to some docs or soemthing helpful it would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jay

Hi ChrisMullins, thanks x For your post, it may help me in my problem described here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/a83237d8-55d7-4b99-bc1c-10c3bbf5aef2 .
Please correct me if I wrong:
1.     Network configuration:
1.1.   DHCP options (http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/bootp/options.htm):
1.1.1. Option 66 - TFTP server name
1.1.2. Option 67 – Boot file name
1.1.3. Option 60 – This is value tell PXE clients where to find the OS deployment server
In other way my DHCP scope must be configured:
# Configure
option 66 "<FQDN of SCCM server>"
option 67 "SMSBoot\X86\wdsnbp.com"
# MUST NOT be configures
option 60 not configured
1.2.   Configure Cisco ( switch or router) options:
1.2.1. Configure allow to transmit all dhcp and bootp packets by using either one of commands:
1.2.1.1.         ip dhcp relay information trust-all (Description: Configure all interfaces on a router as trusted sources of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay agent information option, use the ip dhcp relay information trust-all command in global configuration mode. To restore the interfaces to their default behavior, use the no form of the command).
1.2.1.2.         ip dhcp relay information trusted (Description: Description: Configure selected interfaces on a router as trusted sources of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay agent information option)
1.2.2. Configure allow to transmit all dhcp and bootp packets directly to DHCP server using command ip helper-address <IP address>( Description: This subcommand tells the router to forward UDP broadcasts, including BootP, received on this interface to <IP address>)
1.2.3. Configure allow to transmit all dhcp and bootp packets directly to PXE server using command ip helper-address <IP address>
So Cisco must be configured as follows:
# Configure router to permit all dhcp and bootp packets
ip dhcp relay information trust-all
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to dhcp server
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP broadcast packets from client go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???
ip helper-address <IP Addres of DHCP Server>
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to Server with PXE Service point
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP broadcast packets from client go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???
ip helper-address <IP Addres of PXE Server>
Or more secure manner configuration must be as follows:
# Configure router to permit all dhcp and bootp packets
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP and BootP broadcast packets go>
ip dhcp relay information trusted
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to dhcp server
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP and BootP broadcast packets go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???
ip helper-address <IP Addres of DHCP Server>
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to Server with PXE Service point
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP and BootP broadcast packets go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???
ip helper-address <IP Addres of PXE Server>

Issues with Boot Images & PXE Booting Since SP1 Install

Good Afternoon All -
I recently updated to SP1, had some issues, but they got resolved. Now, though, I'm having an issue booting to PXE as well as updating any boot images created
before SP1 was installed. Booting to USB Bootable media using a newly created boot image seems to work fine.
Boot Images
When I update my DPs for any of my boot images in SCCM, they fail and i get the below error:
Error: The wizard detected the following problems when updating the boot image.
• Failed to install required components into the boot image
The SMS Provider reported an error.: ConfigMgr Error Object:
instance of SMS_ExtendedStatus
• Description = "Failed to insert OSD binaries into the WIM file";
• ErrorCode = 2152205056;
• File = "e:\\nts_sccm_release\\sms\\siteserver\\sdk_provider\\smsprov\\sspbootimagepackage.cpp";
• Line = 4566;
• ObjectInfo = "CSspBootImagePackage::PreRefreshPkgSrcHook";
• Operation = "ExecMethod";
• ParameterInfo = "SMS_BootImagePackage.PackageID=\"BBS0012F\"";
• ProviderName = "WinMgmt";
• StatusCode = 2147749889;
I've even gone as far as removing all drivers from the boot image, but still get the same message. I was able to create a couple of
new MDT boot images which seem to work fine, though. I am not sure which log file is for boot images, but nothing appeared in distmgr.log.
PXE Booting Issue
After trying many things, I removed PXE config from my site and uninstalled WDS then started all over again. Here's what I did and my results. Please tell me what I'm missing...
After uninstall & server reboot, I enabled PXE + every option in DP tab in SCCM
It automatically installed WDS (same server) and added the two boot images I had checked for PXE use. one x64 and one x86.
I checked my DHCP Scope whose values hadn't changed sine it worked (that I know of). They are:
Option #66: 192.168.20.37 (SCCM Server/DP/PXE)
Option #67 \boot\x86\wdsnbp.com. I've tried \boot\x86\pxeboot.com as well as each of these with x64.
When I PXE boot from a workstation, I receive an IP, a bit of info, then it goes to Contacting Server.... When trying one of the boot files above, I was prompted for F12, but receved a blue screen with error. When trying all other boot files,
they just hang at Contacting Server until they timeout.
I looked at SMSPXE.log and found something interesting...
The IDs for the two boot images I have assigned to PXE are ABC003B3 & ABC00B36. In the smspxe.log, though, it keeps repeating "could not find boot image ABC0012F! 12F does exist and is a boot image,
but not the one I want to use by any means and does not have PXE checked.
I went ahead and checked 12F, updated DPs (which failed - see above); unchecked it; then updated the DPs again. PXEBoot.log showed that it was trying to remove the 12F files from RemoteInstall which was a good sign. I then restarted the WDS service
and tried PXE booting again. Yet again, it failed and was still looking for 12F.
Any suggestions / Ideas??? Thanks!
UPDATE 1
I just changed option #67 to \smsboot\x86\pxeboot.com then restarted the WDS service. I booted to PXE and this time was asked to hit F12. I did so and it looked as if it would work.
Instead, I got a blue screen with the following error:
Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
The boot configuration disk contains errors or is missing
file: boot\BCD
Error Code: 0x000000f
I think that it's the same error as before, but is blue instead of black due to new Win8ADK perhaps. Thanks
Ben K.

Update 4
Sorry to make this the longest post ever :)
I just read that others with this error checked DISM.log. I did so when running a DP update for the boot image and got the below errors:

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.

Pxe boot sun x4170-m2 LSI raid 5 disks issues 2.10_u9 rel

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to image sun fire x4170-m2 series servers with Latest solaris 10.u9 patch set using Raid-5 disks setup with one hot-spare. Pxe boot works but i minboot not able to find raid-5 disks which is about 1.2 TB disks size. Where as if i used DVD to boot the servers it works properly. What i am missing. Here is my pxe entry and menu.list<mac-address> entry. I tried to insert driver LSI megraid driver with x86.miniroot, but it's already available into kernel/drv.
-dhcpd.conf entry.

Hi.
Read thread:
X4x70 (M1) with extremely slow disk I/O
Try workaround the problem by adding the following line to /etc/system and then reboot:
set idle_cpu_no_deep_c = 1

Issues with PXE booting

Hello guys I'm having some issues with PXE booting on my DP.
I've installed them on a single server with SCCM installed and using it as a DP.
When I've tried to PXE boot I'm having some issues. Please see the screenshots below:
Here is the PXE log:
Below are my pictures of 066 and 067

Hi,
have you run the
WDSUTIL /Set-Device /Device:<name> /ReferralServer:<ServerName>
command?
From:
Managing Network Boot Programs
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732351%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
"If you are not using DHCP options 66 and 67, in order to configure a network boot referral, you must prestage the client and you must run
WDSUTIL /Set-Device /Device:<name> /ReferralServer:<ServerName> to specify the server that the client should use."
Regards,
Stoyan
Hi Stoyan I have not, as I'm using the DHCP optioins

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
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh974416.aspx
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.

Trouble shooting BOOT issue in SCCM 2012 but I cant find SMSPXE.log in the logfolder

Hi,
Is there an change in PXE troubleshooting PXE PE boot issue, in 2012?
I cant find wat I am used to...
/SaiTech

Hi,
One of our PXE point get some issue, I could not set my finger on it.
I could not find any log file and I expect an smspxe.log in D:\Program Files\SMS_CCM\Logs (Primary site server) so I think something is wrong. The PXE worked after I put .Net 4 on the server.
Is it a secret what you're missing? How should we help you if you don't tell the exact problem?
No secret but I am not sure by my self what state the DP server have.
