UEFI PXE wont boot. very basic setup it should work

Hi all.
I am having problems booting Uefi PXE .
The client is a VM running in ESXi
WDS/SCCM Server is VM running ESXi
DHCP is VM running ESXi.
All VMs are on the same Host and Same Vswitch.
Dhcp option 60 = PXEClient
Option 66 = *ip address of WDS/SCCM*
Option 67 = /SMSBoot/x64/wdsnbp.com
Whit the above option i can boot Legacy clients via PXE fine .but not UEFi.
I read some where i must change the  Option 67 = /SMSBoot/x64/wdsmgfw.efi
Which still does not work for me.
This setup should work as the Client server and dhcp are on the same broadcast domain.
Yes i have advertisements for All unknown Systems, and the OU of the computer.
What am i missing ?
when i try to boot a VM with EFI i get error PXE-E21

Yes, those options are not recommended, use of IP helper is advisable:

  • I have a powerbook G-4 15 inch, It wont boot up and the display only works on the first try. it gets to the apple screen and freezes, when i try to restart theres no display. Help please, whats the issue here?

    Will it boot OK in Safe Mode? See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)

  • NAC - wanna test the basic setup - does not work !!!!

    SCENARIO :
    ·         I have simple NAC setup with 1 NAC MGR “CAM” and 1 NAC SRVR “CAS”
    ·         My users are running network 192.168.10.x/24 , and I wanna implement in L2 VG mode. Both NAC MGR and NAC SRVR can ping each other.
    ·         CAM VLAN 55 = 192.168.55.x/24 , and CAS VLAN 66 = 192.168.66.x/24
    ·         NAC MGR “CAM”  has only 1 cable going to the core switch and NAC SRVR has 2 cables going to the core switch ( one is trusted trunk end and another is untrusted trunk end) . Created two VLANS 999 and 998 and put each of them on each link as blackhole prevention mechanism described in Cisco docs.
    ·         I have a Windows 2008 DHCP Server who is giving the pool of IPs for users from 192.168.10.x/24 and it is working fine. Routing in the core switch is also ok.
    ·         I have SSH and web access to both CAM and CAS boxes.  They are also updating online smoothly.
    ·         From the GUI, I have created the AV Rules also and CAM shows CAS as connected as well !!!!  My version is 4.1.8  (upgraded from 4.1.3 )
    INT VLAN 10 (USER VLAN)  SVI is on core switch = 192.168.10.254 /24
    INT VLAN 55 ( MGMT ) SVI is on core switch = 192.168.55.254/24
    INT VLAN 66 (MGMT) SVI is on core switch = 192.168.66.254/24
    PROBLEM :-
    1.       I am not able to download or get the NAC Client software MSI or stub file or ActiveX prompt to download ….
    2.       I don’t know how to start troubleshooting at this stage. Please note that My client PC is windows XP machine and the port is already configured to VLAN 100.
    I have 1 CORE switch only and my NAC boxes and client are connected to the same CORE switch.

    VLANS Mapping is done in CAM, i didnt find any field in CAS...
    Also, i am copying the switch port configs...  ( a simple logical connectivity diagram was attached also to this discussion already )

  • Very basic question -- Diagnostic not working.

    I am trying to use JMF for the first time. I am using Windows 2000 and I have installed the JMF package (the generic one, not the Windows enhanced version because I need to work with multiple OS). I set my CLASSPATH in the Windows Control Panel. However, whenever I run the diagnostics, I am getting a JMF classes not found error. The CLASSPATH is set, does anyone have any other ideas what might be happening?

    I've got Windows XP and I installed the all-platform version of JMF. I unzipped the package and copied
    * all the files under \lib into my <JRE>\lib\ext\ directory (where <JRE> is e.g. "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_04") and
    * all the files under \bin into <JRE>\bin and
    then I got the following from the diagnostic program:
    "JMF Version... 2.1.1e
    All Java Build
    Native Libraries Not Found"
    which is just as it should be. For some reason, I do not need to have the jmf.jar set in my CLASSPATH. In fact, I dont have CLASSPATH set at all. Maybe it's a change they made in how the newer versions (1.2+) of appletviewer work?
    Below is an excerpt from http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/reference/faqs/index.html#jmf2-a-error explaining the situation a bit.
    =================
    Q: What is this error?
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/media/ControllerListener
    This happens in two situations:
    * jmf.jar is not in your CLASSPATH
    * jmf.jar is in your CLASSPATH but you are using the JDK 1.2+ appletviewer.
    JDK 1.2 and later require standard extensions to be loaded from <JDK>/jre/lib/ext directory. When you install JMF 2.1.1 <on Windows), it will automatically install the jmf.jar in the above mentioned directory. If for some reason it did not, or you installed JDK 1.2 or later after installing JMF, then you need to manually copy the jmf.jar and sound.jar files to the <JDK>/jre/lib/ext directory.

  • Satellite A300 wont boot up

    Hi guys
    Im overseas atm, so I really want to try and resolve this problem by myself.
    Ok I was watching a movie yesterday and as it ended the laptop locked up, it wouldnt let me ctr,alt,del nothing....
    So I waited a few mins and tried again to ctr,alt,del again still frozen. SO I hit the power button for a few seconds and shut it down that way. When it rebooted I chose safe mode but when I was prompted for my password the keyboard wouldnt work so I couldnt type it in.
    I had to use my external mouse and shut it down from the power option.
    The next time it rebooted i chose normal mode but it has been sitting on the vista screen just before the password box pops up for hours.
    Is there anything i can do guys???
    Thanx John

    Hi Akuma,
    I tried what you said but to no avail.
    After it restarted it got stuck on the Vista screen again, after about 20 mins I gave up.
    I tried safe boot, restoring to previously saved point.
    Nothing works it just wont boot up, one minute is was working fine the next its dead.
    Toshiba said to do a system restore or something like that which basically takes it back to when it was brand new, so I loose everything.....

  • UEFI PXE BOOT ERROR

    Hi,
    I've a problem with the UEFI PXE in SCCM 2012R2.
    My DHCP configuration:
    Option 66 : myserveripaddress
    Option 67 : SMSBoot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi
    Option 60 : support
    When I try to boot the machine (Hp Pro x2 612) the PXE starts but I receive the error:
    Windows Deployment Services encountered an error:
    Error Code: 0x102
    Any Help is appreciated :)

    It depends on what devices you are configuring. See here for configuring IP Helper on Cisco IOS
    http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/02/sccm-2012-sp1-step-by-step-guide-part_9487.html
    Here is an example from a Cisco switch:
    interface Vlan10 
       ip address 172.16.112.254 255.255.255.0
       ip helper-address 172.16.1.1
    End
    This allows clients booting in 172.16.112.0/24 subnet to find the ConfigMgr or MDT server (172.16.1.1).
    It's very straightforward. Your networking chaps will have no issue.

  • Satellite A30 wont boot up and is stuck on "exiting PXE ROM"

    A30 wont boot up and is stuck on a loop
    PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
    I dont have recovery discs and bios does not allow to turn off any relevant settings.

    The error message PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable appears because the notebook tries to boot from the LAN.
    There could be a different reason why the notebook doesnt boot from the HDD or from another source.
    Firstly the wrong booting order could prevent the notebook from HDD booting.
    Secondly the missing HDD or an HDD malfunction could cause this issue.
    You should definitely try to access the BIOS pressing the F2 button immediately after notebook starting. There you should check if the HDD was recognized.
    If not, then I recommend replacing the HDD and to reinstall the OS.
    Best regards

  • Satellite A135-S2386 wont boot, no display at all, shows very little signs of life.

    I received a customers computer today.  It worked, but they had a problem with the BIOS password, so they asked us to reset it.  The battery was pulled and it was left unplugged for a few hours to be worked on later.  Now when the laptop is powered on, it wont boot at all...  Here is what happens:
    Press the power button, and the LED above it turns yellow (I used to own this same model, and I could have sworn my light was blue and not yellow. Can anyone confirm?)
    The fan spins up for a few seconds and then stops.
    The power indicator on the front of the laptop is green.
    When turned on the HD light flashed once quickly, and then never lights up again.
    The CD-ROM light is constantly orange, and the tray will not open.  There is no media inside. 
    There is absolutely no display (not even a flicker) and external monitors don't work either.
    No beep codes, even without the RAM and HD.
    I have tried:
    Removing RAM and harddrive
    Resetting CMOS (this was the goal to begin with)
    Leaving it unplugged and with no battery while holding the power for one minute, then plugging in.
    Booting from USB.
     At first I thought it was a problem with the GPU, but I don't even think it is getting a chance to display anything.  Is the MOBO fried?  I find it strange that all of the sudden it breaks when I get my hands on it (makes me look bad too) but I know these things are notorious for things like this.  I also find it strange that the CD-ROM is constantly lit and wont open.  I am thinking of trying to boot without it connected to see what happens.  Any other suggestions? 

    Have you solved your problem? How?
    I have the same problem.

  • I have a Imac 8,1 That wont boot.

    I have a Imac 8,1 that wont boot.
    3.06Ghz, Nvidia 8800
    I believe i have 2 problems.
    First this is what ive already done:
    I ran an extensive hardware test, no problem
    In disk utility I erased my harddrive and clean installed Mavericks,
    Verified and repaired disk, no problems
    Verified and repaired permissions, no problems
    Disk boots up fine when running on MacBookPro through Firewire
    Zapped PRAM/NVRAM plenty
    After upgrade I can no longer boot into safe mode, Stalls after 25%
    Can no longer use CMD-R
    Can no longer use Apple Hardware Test
    Doesnt seem like I can update firmware from disk by holding down the power button. not sure im using the right disk either.
    These problems probably stem from running complex graphics on a windows 7 partitions I used to have.
         First off I think my GPU is out. I get Thick Green lines down the screen that are not from screen damage straight from startup.
    After Chime the apple logo pops up and loads but after a while the wheel stops and the computer will reboot moments after. Im hoping this is a Firmware problem and I dont have to replace my GPU. My computer has booted up with the lines before and I dont think its the cause for not booting but im no professional. Before I updated to Mavericks This Problem already existed. Can a failing GPU cause boots to fail?
         During hardware test the green lines would go away and I would have a clean screen.
    I loaded Mavericks from a USB drive from there onto the newly erased harddrive (32 Write erase). Everything was going great until I got close to the end of the loading bar for the setup and it froze. The colors on my screen displayed everything but with the colors messed up into a rainbow oval on the top half of the screen. I rebooted and suddenly I cant boot from anything. Harddrive, Install Disk, or USB
         So I plugged up my firewire and got on a MacBookPro with Mavericks and erased the disk again. Then I installed Mavericks flawlessly and it will boot from the MacBookPro but not from the Imac.
    When I boot in Verbose mode I get an error that says
    BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist:2 no such file or directory
    Then
    NVDAStartup: Official (im guessing thats my GPU)
    and a bunch of SMC:smcReadKeyAction ERRORS
    and Sandbox: authd(##) deny file-write & deny file-read errors
    Im thinking I need a new GPU but I want to be absolutely certain before I spend anything on replacing parts.
    Could this be a EFI Firmware Problem?
    like a Firmware/boot data problem from a bad ESP (I dont know what is what really).
    If all this is part of the GPU it would totally make sense to just go ahead and replace it if thats the case. But im no expert, What do you think?

    Very simple take it to an Apple Store or AASP and have it professionally diagnosed. Anything else would be guessing. Do NOT spend a penny on it until it is professionaly diagnosed otherwise you stand and excellent chance of throwing good money after bad.

  • 975x wont boot - new parts

    Hi all, im new to this forum but it seems great, i read around abit and found some useful posts.
    However, i have the following setup :
    Msi 975x
    c2d 6400
    2gb corsair xms 6400 c4 ( 2*1gb )
    7900gs PoV
    Aspire 550 psu
    I just put the parts toghether again, after having the parts returned to vendor, he claims the first cpu didnt work, and returned the motherboard while i waited for a new cpu to arrive. When i got it i tried the system again, but the following error is still there ;
    The system wont boot, other than the fans will spin up but no screen at all, just stands there, when i use the usb led thingy, it shows 4 red dots.
    I saw some posts about OCZ memory that wont work, but those were reported as memory issues by the led if im correct, and as i can see it arent 4 red dots the code for CPU , or can the code be wrong and its still the memory ?
    The new cpu i got was in an unopened box so it was really new, but i refuse to believe i have broken 2 cpus or have recieved 2 dead cpu from vendor.
    Any ideas would be very much welcome.
    Cheers   //  Baboon

    Baboon,
    You're not the only one surprised. 
    I bought THREE 975X PUEs and every time I have re-visited the MSI website I have found new caveats for something the board won't do, or for something that won't work, or for something not included . . . no fixes, mind you, just oddly worded "escape clauses". 
    Here are some examples:
    MSI Reminds You...
    • DDR2 800 needs to work with Intel Conroe CPU with FSB1066.
    • The default memory frequency is DDR2 667, you can set to 800 in BIOS settings.
    • Due to the BIOS limits, the Intel RAID and the JMicron RAID functions can not be enabled at the same time, which will cause the system unable to boot up.
    • The RAID setup floppy disk is optional depending on the districts. You can download the files from the website to make the setup disk.
    • To enhance IDE transfer speed, you may install JMicron IDE/SATA Driver. You may download the driver by clicking the "Driver" icon at the left side.
    • The floppy disk cable will be optional.
    Yep, the first one was a big surprise to a lot of us sticking in our P4s.  Hello?  Well, OK, maybe the "CPU Support Chart" should have been the "CPU Semi-Support Chart".
    OK, I'll even give MSI the first one.  But the third bullet!  Now that one just flat makes me laugh!
    Beta Board!  MSI didn't design this Board, it just kinda "happened".

  • Satellite L300 wont boot up

    Hi,  I have a Satellite L300 Laptop which since i dropped it ,  wont boot up i have tried the built in recovery but it stops with "Windows cannot recover Master file table".  It is running Vista , does any one know how i can reboot my laptop as at the moment it starts then i get a blank screen and nothing .
       Cheers  Doug

    You more than likely damaged the hard drive when you dropped it.  See if it will boot to a CD or DVD.  If it does you need to test the hard drive to see if it is usable or not. 
    To test the hard drive determine what brand of hard drive you have.  You can check the Bios/Setup to find out.  Go to that manufacturer's support site and download their Self Booting Diagnostic CD ISO image, create the CD using the Burn From Image option (see http://iso.snoekonline.com/iso.htm for more information on doing this), then boot to it and run the most exhaustive tests available.  If you have a Toshiba drive you will need to use the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test as Toshiba doesn't supply their own. http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • [SOLVED] arch wont boot after triple boot experiment

    Hi,
    I cannot boot into arch anymore after installing ubuntu to another partition on my hard drive.
    I used grub to dual boot arch and windows, but i need to use ROS and there are no working packages for arch so i tried to install ubuntu on another partition and triple boot.
    Somhow my arch got broken by the ubuntu setup.
    Windows still boots fine.
    I already chrooted (to arch) from a live cd and reinstalled grub and did
    grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    , after that ubuntu appeared in the grub selection menu but arch still wont boot.
    Arch boot hangs after checking /dev/sda6 for errors (arch partition), i cannot type or ctrl+shift+fx to another terminal
    Anybody has an idea what got broken by ubuntu and how i can repair arch?
    thanks!

    Hey so i chroot again following this artikle: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Change_Root
    then i did
    pacman -Syyu mkinitcpio linux udev
    and restarted
    I tried starting arch again and it seemed to still not work, this time i gave it some more time and it actually booted.
    It took very long though (more then 3 minutes or so)
    in journalctl if found those lines:
    Sep 09 04:20:00 meanarchy kernel: USB Video Class driver (1.1.1)
    Sep 09 04:21:25 meanarchy systemd[1]: Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid-12027d8a\x2dd4b0\x2d4559\x2daa1c\x2de3ea5ca8f5bb.device/start timed out.
    Sep 09 04:21:25 meanarchy systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-12027d8a\x2dd4b0\x2d4559\x2daa1c\x2de3ea5ca8f5bb.device.

    Sep 09 04:21:25 meanarchy systemd[1]: Starting Swap.
    so it seems boot is searching for some disk device 1:25 minutes before it fails.
    I think i know the reason: I resized the Partition of arch while installing ubuntu this changes the uuid of the partition, now something is waiting for this disk to become ready because it still has the old uuid written somwhere.
    UUIDs really suck, they are not human readable and always have problems with them if i touch my partitions.

  • Imac wont boot it did till i changed inernet protocol all i get is apple and gear spinng

    I have an 800mgz imac when I got it it booted up just fine i changed the internet from dial up tp broadband save it turn it off to connect broadband now it wont boot all i get is the apple logo and the spinning gear?

    Another thing that you could try it is deleting or copying to desktop the preference files for networking.  Mac OS will regenerate these files.  You would then need to reconfigure your network settings.
    While this discussion provides a solution for a different problem.  I believe the files would be the same for all network configuration problems.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8185915#8185915

    You need to get into single use mode for steps one and two that are listed below.
    This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
    Basically, you hold down the command-s key then  powering on your machine. The command key has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar. On a PC keyboard, it will be the windows key, I think.
    ( Do you know Unix. You are in a Unix single user console. )  The setup commands you need should be listed on the screen.  For Mac OS 10.4.11, the commands are:
    # Type the follow two instructions to access the startup disk in read/write:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    The mv command is also the rename command. move within a directory.
    basically :
    mac $ cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    mac $ ls
    NetworkInterfaces.plist  com.apple.nat.plist      preferences.plist
    mac $ pwd
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    mac $ mv NetworkInterfaces.plist  NetworkInterfaces.plist2
    mac $ mv com.apple.nat.plist com.apple.nat.plist2
    mac $ mv preferences.plist preferences.plist2
    mac $
    Here is an overview of the terminal commands.  Lets assume that your account has a short user name of mac.
    Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
    #What is my short user name?  Type the whoami command.
    mac $ whoami
    mac
    mac $
    #How to list all of your disks.
    # The ls command is for list
    mac $ ls /Volumes/
