WDS - No boot image

Good afternoon,
Hoping that one of you gurus will be able to help save my sanity here. :)
Background: We used RIS for quite a while, but after the SP2 update it failed so we decommisioned it. Now, WDS is on a Server 2008 R2 box and joined to the in the domain. While not an actual DHCP server, it is authorized in AD as a DHCP server. The DHCP
server is on a different server (running Solaris) on the same subnet. I have created images and have been able to do captures and remote installations.
Issue: The WDS server and the PXE clients work perfectly if they are both connected to a workgroup/soho type switch (5 port Linksys/DLink/etc). However if they are both plugged into the wall (the 'real' network) they do not work at all...the PXE client just
spins waiting for an address before returning that it couldn't locate a boot image. This is true even if I put both the WDS server and the PXE client on the same subnet.
I have ran packet captures on both working and non-working scenarios. In the non-working scenario with both machines on the same subnet the server's NIC can see the network traffic, but does not respond to it. When they are both on the workgroup switch it
does respond to it. I have checked the routers for this subnet and there is an ip address helper configured to match the IP of the WDS server. However, if they are both on the same subnet then they are in the same broadcast domain and really that shouldn't
matter...but it is there and configured because eventually the WDS server will move to a different subnet than the PXE clients.
So I am curious, does anyone have any ideas as to why WDS would work flawlessly on a little workgroup switch, but not on the corporate network even when on the same subnet, in the same room, on the same wallplate, running to the same switch?
I appreciate any and all advice, tips, tricks, insights that anyone could provide. :)
-Joe

Hi Joe,
Can I ask if you've configured the DHCP options required on your Solaris DHCP Server?
A snippet from the WDS deployment guide
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766320(WS.10).aspx
"Add DHCP options 66 and 67. Option 66 should be set to the Windows Deployment Services server, and option 67 should be set to boot\x86\wdsnbp.com."

  • Can't add drivers to Server 2012 R2 boot image in WDS

    Hi all.
    I want to use my "old" Windows Server 2012 (not R2), WDS to deploy new R2 servers but i can't add driver package to the R2 boot image, it comes out with error code: 0xc0000135 no matter what drivers i use.
    Without network drivers i can't boot the image on my physical servers, i've tried on a virtual machine where it works just fine.
    I can't use the old boot image to install R2, then it comes with error: "Windows could not apply unattend settings during pass [offlineServicing]." when it tries to install it on both virtual and physical servers.
    My initial thought is that the WDS server has to be on a R2 server but i can't find anything that proofs that.
    Can someone confirm that non R2 WDS is not supported to R2 or does anyone have an idea to a solution?
    Thank you in advance.

    Okay maybe not a solution but i installed a new WDS server on R2 and then there was no problem adding driver package to to boot image.
    So i was able to confirm my theory that it's not supported to deploy R2 from a non-R2 WDS server. If anyone can make it work please let me know but until then i think this is the only way.
    If I understand your description of the issue, the problem is that you are trying to update a WinPE 5.0 WIM with a version of the ADK that services WinPE 4.0 images.  Installing the new Windows Server 2012 R2 server caused SCCM to use the version of the
    ADK that services WinPE 5.0 images.  You should be able to deploy them fine from the other server, but you can only service them from the new one.  You will not be able to service the older WinPE 4.0 images from the new server either.

  • Automating OS install in WDS with multiple boot image

    Hi, can someone explain to me if it is possible to completely automate a windows install in WDS with 3 different install and boot image. I am new to this and trying to learn everything i can.
    I have 3 unattended files attributed to each install.wim already (and they work fine) and 1 unattended file for Windows Deployment Services.
    my problem is as soon as the client PC PXE boot, I'm presented with 3 options in boot manager, maybe because i have 3 boot.wim files (from what i understand). after i pick which boot option
    i want to use, i don't have to do anything anymore and windows is installed, the disk is partitioned and a user account is created.
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByIjtLJtT3oHaTFLcF9mWldnZmM/edit?usp=sharing
    Is it possible to have an unattend file that will help me bypass the 3 options  to make the process completely automated.
    Can i create a script for a type of PC or brand of PC, so that the deployment server can see what type of PC or what brand of PC it is and automatically pick the boot file for that pc and automate the rest of the install. (maybe another software that can help
    me do that, or i need to put something on the client computers so that they themselves pick the appropriate boot options)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Georges

    If you are new to deployment you should really learn the recommended way to deploy os:es.
    You should use MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit)

  • T520 won't detect Network card in WDS/WinPE/​Ghost image disk

    Hello all,
    I figured I would just post this so I could save 2 days of someone elses life.
    I'm not sure how many other modes have the EFI and UEFI bios's in them but this has caused a lot of problems when trying to capture an image / image the Lenovo T520.  So for anyone else that is having these problems here is how I got around the problem.
    The Problem:
    While trying to boot up off a Capture image with a CD or PXE boot for our WDS server the laptop would not detect the network card giving no IP address and listing the adapter as a hybrid.  When trying to do a ipconfig /renew it would give an error around the lines of the loopback something or other ....... the adapter could not be contacted or initated.
    I instantly thought this was due to the vanila WinPE / Capture image not having the drivers for the Lenovoo T520, so I went to the website downloaded the new drivers and injected them into the WinPE disk(You will want ot use the NDIS Drivers which are included in the package for this).  Following this process it would still not detect or install the NIC.  After many hours of searching it would apear this was due to the EFI/UEFI bios options not going through the proper boot cycle when in a PE enviroment.  The solution was to mess around with the EFI/UEFI switches in the WinPE boot image during the creation proccess as listed below:
    ocdimg -m -o -u2 -udfver102 -bootdata:2#p0,e,bc:\winpe_x64\etfsboot.com#pEF,e,​bc:\winpe_x64\efisys.bin c:\winpe_x64\ISO c:\winpe_x64\winpeuefi.iso
    The link with more details is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947024
    Eseentially once the new boot image was complied with the proper EFI / UEFI options enabled it went through the proper boot process detected the NIC and installed the drivers which I previously provided on the disk and we where off to the races imaging the new laptop.
    Hopefull this will help some others who are struggling with this or any other model that has this type of bios.
    Cheers, and thanks
    Please feel free to post any additional comments to help others if you found better ways to get around this
    One side note the EFI/UEFI to legacy mode only does nothing for the NIC problem, I have seen some posts where they can help with the hard drive issues when imaging, however as for the nic not loading in PE enviroments this setting in the BIOS did not reslove the problem.

    Hi Rusty1234
    If I did not remember wrongly, you may present or add drivers (network, hardware) under WDS / Ghost software or copy necessary drivers (e.g. your T520 network card drivers) under it's PXE / boot section.
    Happy 2012!

  • Branch office WDS still pullinh image from main site

    Hi,
    I'm trying to configure a WDS on our branch site.
    what i did was open a new folder named DeployFilesFromMaster on the branch office server and replicate the DeploymentShare from main to branch office using DFS.
    then i installed WDS services on the branch office and add a Boot Image (taken from DeployFilesFromMaster)
    next i configured, under Scope Option on the DHCP server, options 66 (giving the ip address of the branch WDS), and option 67 (giving the path \Boot\x64\wdsnbp.com).
    now when I'm booting a computer into PXE it start working, but when pressing F8 and use the netstat command i see it has a session to my main office deploy server instead to the branch office.
    what do i need to change?
    when looking in the branch office server, there is ofcourse the DeployFilesFromMaster folder and there is another folder named DeploymentShare that was made while installiing the WDS server, and there is a wdsnbp.com file as well. how do I know, when DHCP
    direct me to the boot file name, that it direct me to the right file, or it doesnt matter.
    thanks for your help

    The variable WDSSERVER is a variable that is figured out by MDT when booting a machine using the boot image created by Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. Therefore it is not available in Windows.
    If you want different WSUS servers depending on location of the client you can use for instance this technique in CustomSettings.ini. This will point clients on a specific subnet to a specific WSUS server.

  • WDS Multiple x64 Images for Windows 7 & 8.1

    Hi all,
    I wanted to know, what would be the best way to setup my WDS so that I can incorporate both windows 7 & 8.1 x64 boot and capture images.
    The reason I ask this, is because I added the Windows 8.1 boot image, created a capture image and then after sysprep'ing a machine with windows 8.1 64 bit, I tried to capture it but ended up with the 0xc000000f error which has knocked out all of my
    capture images.
    I've only just attempted the dism mount & dismount method to see if it has fixed it, but I would appreciate if anyone knows an error free method so that I can have both windows 7 & 8.1 capture images to work together.
    Thanks,
    Hasan

  • Image Capture Boot Image Fails with 0xc000000f

    I am trying to capture a Windows 8.1 Enterprise (with Update) x64 installation using WDS, but the Capture Image fails to load. I used the boot.wim from the Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update) ISO to create a boot image in WDS and then a capture image from
    it. After I press F12 and the progress bar finishes the following message appears:
    This only happens when I boot the capture image - the original boot image that I imported in WDS boots normally. I also tried with the Windows 8.1 (with Update) boot.wim, but the issue reoccurs. This is a Hyper-V VM on Windows Server
    2012. Is this a problem with the recent update?

    Hi,
    We’re currently experiencing exactly the same issue. Also a fully-updated Server 2012R2 (with the recent KB2919355 update) machine.
    So far, I found two other posts with exactly the same issue:
    1) http://wp.secretnest.info/?p=1474
    2)
    http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/472581-wds-capture-image-winload-exe-corrupt-or-missing
    According to these posts it seems like the issue occurs after the first time a capture image based upon a Windows 8.1 or Server2012R2 boot.wim is created.
    What I’ve tried so far is removing the server role, deleting the WDS store, rebooting the server and start over with a Windows 7 boot.wim. The normal boot.wim starts ok, but the created capture image doesn’t.
    So the process of creating the capture boot image did ‘something’ in a way the new boot.wim differences from the old boot.wim. To find out what, I first mounted the new .wim file to see if winload.exe is actually there – it is both in
    system32 as well as systen32\boot. So my second guess was that the Windows Boot Manager cannot find the windows loader, because of an incorrect declaration of disks in the BCD store.
    I used BCDEDIT to show the differences between the working and non-working boot images:
    Windows Boot Loader

    So the ID for the osdevice is the same, and only the device is different, but mentioned correctly under Device options (as far as my knowledge goes in this subject). I hope there will be a solution anytime soon.

  • Client getting an IP lease on the 64-bit LiteTouch boot image, but not the 32-bit version.

    MDT 2012 U1.  No problem with PXE booting so WDS is not the issue.
    The NIC in question is the Intel I217-LM, which resides on both the new Dell Optiplex 9020 and the Latitude E7440.  I downloaded the Dell drivers and then the Intel drivers and imported them into the WindowsPE drivers folder in the workbench.  Updated
    the boot images to make sure the new drivers were injected.  Both yielded the same result.  I can do everything I need to do when booting to the 64-bit LiteTouchPE_x64.wim boot image,  but not the 32-bit version.  When booting to the 32-bit
    version, I get no IP configuration info at all.  
    When looking at the drivers in MDT, I see only one difference:  the supported OS versions.  The 64-bit driver supports 6.1, 6.1.1, and 6.2.  The 32-bit driver supports only 6.1.1 and 6.2.  Not sure if that's the issue.
    Tried using drvload within 32-bit WinPE to manually inject the NIC driver.  Still no luck.  Ipconfig yields no configuration at all.
    If I can't get these machines to boot to the 32-bit boot images, I can't deploy 32-bit images, unless there's a way of which I'm unaware.
    EDIT:  A little extra background.  My WindowsPE folder has two subfolders called x86 and x64.  Obviously, 32-bit drivers go into the x86 folder and 64-bit drivers go into the x64 folder.  Then in the properties of the deployment share a
    selection profile is selected which points to the architecture-specific folders.

    Specifically what do you see when you are in WinPE, press the F8 button, and run ipconfig.
    1. ipconfig shows no network adapters (see:
    http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/rpedersen/clip_image002_53DA17D4.jpg ). This means you still have not loaded the correct device drivers, check the c:\windows\system32\wpeinit.log file.
    2. ipconfig shows an "autoconfiguration IPv4 Address" with a netmastk of 255.255.0.0. This means that the client did not get an IP address from the DHCP server. Double check the connection between the client and the DHCP server.
    3. ipconfig shows a correct address. There is no problem. :^)
    Keith Garner - keithga.wordpress.com
    I get the first result.  Absolutely no network adapters, which I assumed indicated no appropriate device driver.
    This is the result of the wpeinit.log from the machine booting to the 32-bit boot image:

    At first I thought the first bolded section might be relevant, but when I booted to the x64 boot image, which works fine, I get the same message in its wpeinit.log file.  The only difference between the two log files is that the x64 boot image actually
    shows successful installation of a driver where the second bolded section is.

    Yes as others have said you hardly ever need to inject drivers now into your boot images. There are exceptions to this i.e. Surface Pro USB Ethernet Adapter drivers and some of the newer 2014/2015 Ethernet adapter drivers from Dell and Lenovo. You certainly
    don't need to inject all the drivers from a driver folder source as it appears from your post.
    If your having problems with no network after you boot into your image just inject the Ethernet drivers only.
    If your using WinPE 5 - Use the Windows 8.1 Ethernet Driver (irrespective of what OS your trying to deploy)
    If your using WinPE 4 - Use the Windows 7 Ethernet Driver (irrespective of what OS your trying to deploy).
    Cheers

    Anyone have any idea's why the WIM file will not update?  I have been trying to get a Dell 7440 to boot properly so I can image it but the problem is:  PXE loads fine but when the system starts to load the SCCM deployment piece it just restarts. 
    I have not found any errors during this portion and did not see anything in the SCCM logs.  Assumed it had to do with the drivers but now I am unsure.
    Thanks,
    JAK
    EDIT:  on a side note, I have re-created the boot images and removed and re-added drivers still same issues.

    I've seen others get this error code and fix it by injecting the correct storage drivers.  In my case I believe I have the correct storage drivers.  In a separate MDT 2013/WDS environment I can deploy
    8.1 to the same machine using the same drivers with no problems so my drivers appear to allow proper access to the drive.  When I check the volumes with DiskPart they all appear to be fine.  The C:\ volume has the _SMSTaskSequence folder on it with
    files so it is certainly writable.  The system is set for UEFI mode.  Of course if I change it to Legacy mode this problem doesn't happen.  I have also integrated MDT 2013 into SCCM console and both an SCCM task sequend and an MDT task sequence
    do the same thing. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    From the error, the C could not be the staging location because it is system partition. You need to format a fixed drive to NTFS partition and try again.

  • SCCM WDS PXE Boot Authentication

    Hi All,
    The ability to do domain authentication for a PXE boot in RIS could be achieved by modifying the security directly on the image folder on the RIS server - however, I can't seem to implement the same access control in SCCM 2007 SP1 using WDS.
    I have set up the capability to build bare metal machines using the OS Deployment feature in SCCM. The image process is advertised to “All Unknown Computers” and starts with the “builder” hitting F12 on the workstation. The boot image is loaded from the DP share and then the process begins.
    My question is: How can I protect the PXE boot process by having the system request a domain Username and Password in order to begin the PXE boot process and also limit who can see the advertisements for the avialable images.
    Thanks,
    phil

    Hi,
    You can specify a password for computers that boot to PXE.

  • WDS & ISO boot

    Hi there,
    Can WDS be used to have clients PXE boot from a ISO image rather than WIM (such as a minimalistic Linux boot image)?
    It was possible using RIS I think but WDS seems to support WIM images only or is there some other way?
    Thanks beforehand,
    Steven

    Hi,
    WDS works with Microsoft Windows Reinstallation Environment (Windows PE) 2.0, which is the new boot image format for Windows Deployment Services and must be .WIM format. Besides, RIS couldn't work with ISO image either. I suggest using WDS to deploy, because it can provide you the following extra benefits, comparing with RIS:
    •    Reduces the complexity of deployments and the cost associated with inefficient manual installation processes.
    •    Allows network-based installation of Windows operating systems.
    •    Deploys Windows images to computers without operating systems.
    •    Supports mixed environments that include Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Server 2003
    •    Provides an end-to-end solution for the deployment of Windows operating systems to client computers and servers.
    •    Built on standard Windows Vista setup technologies including Windows PE, .WIM files, and image-based setup.
    What's more, it's not a complex task to create the .WIM boot image. You can simply use the standard boot images that are included on the Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 media (located at \Sources\boot.wim) without modification. However, the Boot.wim that you use must match (or be newer than) the operating system of the install image. For instance, we couldn't use Windows Vista install media to create a Windows server 2008 boot image.
    More information about Windows PE 2.0 boot image, please refer to:

    I hope this helps.
     

  • WDS Problem when imaging PC

    My WDS Server has been working fine for many months now.
    Today i wanted to deploy an image to an all in one dell 3011 machine.
    I uploaded the drivers for that machine and optimized the boot image so that the drivers are now there.
    Now when I try to image a PC, I would, as always select the image i would like to use, rename the PC, and set it going.
    It shows that it is injecting drivers and then goes on to installing the OS, now for some reason, normally once this is done it boots the PC to the desktop and then reboots, but at the point where it should do this the command prompt pops up and just hangs
    there.
    Any reason to why this is happening? is this a driver conflict of some sort?
    Please get back to me ASAP as this is causing me huge problems.
    Zac :)

    Hi,
    normally once this is done it boots the PC to the desktop and then reboots, but at the point where it should do this the
    command prompt pops up and just hangs there.
    What do you mean by this? Can you elaborate what you have done, could be better if you can share a screenshot? What you can do when it hangs?
    Reboot it, can you get into the OS?
    According to the current information, I guess it is a driver issue. Remove it and try again.
    Hope this helps.
