Zenworks installation cd with PXE boot

Hi!
Excuse my english, swedish is my native language.
When i use pxeboot i thought everything worked, BUT, when i think imaging
is starting, following comes up: "Could not find Zenworks installation
CD. Activating manual setup program". Then i cant use imaging....
NW 6.5, zfd 6.5sp2ir1. Imaging works fine if i boot from cd och
choose "automatic", but, as i wrote, not with pxeboot.
This behavior
Is there anybody out there that have initrd/linux/root and same
environment?
It must work with e1000 and b44....
Please mail me. And if you have a bootcd that works with same credentials.

are you using the latestet patches?
also you can find drivers on forge, zenimaging.info and my homepage
If you have already compiled drivers or have linux.2 please put them on

Formatting the encrypted hard drive or intalling OS again with PXE boot can change TPM owner password file?

Hello,
1) I realized that when MBAM bitlocker encryption start both Recovery key and TPM owner password file are send to MBAM server. If we change the computername of the notebook, we can find out Recovery key from MBAM server with the KeyID as we can read it from
computer screen, but we can not find out TPM owner password file with the existing new computername information from MBAM server, so we have to know old names of all computers but it is impossible. So we have to do decryption and clearing TPM than we
can again encrypted it with its new name. is it right?
2) We will going to deploy mbam encryption to our notebooks. But sometimes when a person quit the job his notebook can given to another person or new employee and based to our procedure when a notebook will given to another user it should installed
OS again with PXE boot. I would to know will it be enough to installing with this method again with a diffrent computer name or should I firstly clear its TPM than install OS with PXE to keep TPM owner password file missing as item 1?
I hope i can explain what i mean :)
Regards,
SibelM

I would suggest you to first decrypt the laptop and then follow the process:-
- Clear the TPM
- Encrypt the type.
- Check for the encryption behavior.
Cause I have found on some model that if the OS drive is encrypted, PXE boot fail on that machine even though I also did a direct PXE on an encrypted machine with clearing the TPM.
TPM ownership password is a hash file that gets generated with a set of algorithm. SO each time when you PXE boot, by clearing the TPM, the TPM hash password for the TPM will change. This has been done for security measures.

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."

Hi Stoyan I have not, as I'm using the DHCP optioins

Can't Image with PXE boot

I'm having an issue getting my Imaging server to work.   I've have MDT 2012 Update 1 running on Windows Server 2012.
Every thing was working fine until recently. I've tried to find an answer to this but so-far haven't run in to the answer.
Here are the details.   I'm trying to image and HP DeskPro 600 and I can get it to PXE boot but when the windows splash screen comes up it does not proceed to the MDT login screen to start the process. If I use a USB stick that has the boot IOS
on it I can get through the complete script and start the imaging process but it hangs when it come to formatting the disk. I'm wondering it the issue might have something to do with UEFI. We do disable that function on our computers before we
image and like I said it has worked in the past.   Currently I'm moving WIM file to another server that has MDT 2013 installed and they seem to work fine on that server. So, do you thing an update from 2012 to 2013 would solve the issue I'm
having? Or if someone has had this issue and has a fix for It I would appreciate some help in this area.

Gut;
It seems like your issue is just the reverse of mine. I'm not booting to the 32 bit LightTouch on the DC600 and I'm not having any issue with other models of the HP computer.
They all seem to image fine. It's just the ProDesk that is giving me stress. But just to cover all the basses I downloaded the latest storage driver and will try that out to see if it works.
Everything else I have tried has failed to fix the issue so-far.
What version of MDT are you running their? I've been thinking that moving to 2013 would fix this issue so that's why I ask.

Problems with PXE boot for clients

Hi,
I have an environment where I have clients on av VLAN connected to a Cisco 2960X (WS-C2960X-48LPD-L ) with layer 3 configuration. The clients do a PXE boot to get configuration. The thing is that this does not work on all switches. The switches have the exact same configuration, the only thing that differs is Hardware Board Revision Number. (That I can find..) The ones that works has 0x05 and the ones that doesn´t work has 0x12. The PXE server is connected on a different VLAN in the same switch.
I have configured spanning-tree portfast on the interfaces. I have ip-helper on the VLAN. The PXE server is also the DHCP server.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Carina

It seems NIC teaming was configured really incorrectly in this case. Different switches require different configuration with specific settings on the Windows Server side. Sometimes incorrect configurations work when network traffic is low but start behaving
funny when it increases. The reason behind this is Windows hosts sending back answers to its peers via different physical links, and the switch doesn't expect it and drops "incorrect" frames.
You can find detailed description of different teaming modes here:
http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=14004
If you use LACP, be sure to set up port channel on Cisco switches or LACP trunk on HP switches. Otherwise you might want to use the Switch Independent mode.

PXE Boot With intel Based IMAC

Hello,
I am trying to boot my IMAC from the network with PXE Boot with no success.
I found some documents (very little) about how to boot mac from network using diffrent mac with app called netboot, but i assume that because my imac is intel based it should be able to boot from PXE.
Are there any documents information you could point me to ?
Thanks.

U.S. websites for those companies don't show those models on their product lists or at support. If your iMac recognizes your printer, don't worry about the driver, it's there.

PXE boot fails

All
I have an issue with PXE booting into zenwork imaging. Using zenworks
V4.0.1 when you boot the pc into zenworks maintence mode, the pc downloads
from the server until it get to "Uncompressing and laoding zenworks
imaging, please wait" and then errors with the message "Invalid
compression format (err2) -System halted.
I have tried replacing the z:publiczenworksimaging and the pxe folders
with copies from another server, however I still get the same issue.
Does anyone know which file is uncompressed or needs replacing/restoring?
Thanks

Home server undertaking, NFS, PXE boot, 6 servers

Hey all, I have few old servers I like to play around with, and a main home server. My main one, which is a supermicro tower with 7 36 gb scsi320 drives, dual dual-core xeons. I have 5 poweredge 2600's that aren't in use due to my limitation of networking equipment, but I want to set up an NFS with pxe boot daisy chaining the poweredges to my supermicro. is this possible, and any advice?
i'm reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Di … t_NFS_root and trying one tonight.

I think you need to have a subnetting system worked out, having a network of more networks and less hosts. So that you can "route" between each machine on either side of the network, effectively making a token ethernet. But then it's going to get confusing if you actually try to complete the circle. You could use iptables on each machine, one NIC would have a fixed address, serving dhcp to the PXE client machine. So when you boot up a new PXE client, have it boot from the original server, maybe a copy of the same kernel in the /var/tftpboot directory on the main server and in the PXE client's same directory, but the root filesystem still accessed from the main server across the iptables and subnet. Using pxelinux.cfg rules, you could have it set, to boot (possibly in fixed order) downline with the different configurations to get them to work. I think you will be troubleshooting network bottlenecks, because no matter how you do it, it will eventually all go back to the main server. Any errors in implementation will of course propogate across the network and cause problems.
Ditto, just get a hand-me-down switch from somewhere.

Set PXE boot image

I'm having a problem similar to what's described at https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1398dc34-1672-4336-92fc-5cb72de031d5/locking-selected-pxe-boot-image?forum=configmanagerosd
We are running SCCM 2012 R2 (upgraded from SP1) We have a 64 bit and and a 32 bit boot image. The 64 bit has "Deploy this boot image from the PXE-enabled distribution point" unchecked. The 32 bit image is checked. Clients are still trying to boot
64 bit. We had using the 32 bit image for months (before and after R2 upgrade) I was making changes to the 64 bit image and suddenly it decided it was the PXE boot image. How can I get SCCM to go back the the 32bit boot.wim?
Here's what I've tried:
1) Right click 32 bit boot wim and update distribution points
2) Deploy a new TS that is set to use the 32 bit boot.wim.
3) Reboot the SCCM server (we have a single server, single distribution point)
What else can we do to get back to a working state with PXE boot?

In addition to the other comments, 1 and 3 are effectively meaningless in this context.
#2 will work per Jorgen's and Doug's comments -- this comes down to the fact that if there is any ambiguity as to which boot image should be used (usually because the system has multiple possible task sequences targeted to it that have different boot images),
then the boot image associated with the task sequence having a deployment with the highest ID is used; i.e., the boot image for the most recently deployed TS (as Doug stated also).
Because you've already seemingly addressed this, it sounds like you may have simply switched the boot image associated with the TS on accident and you should verify this first.

Lenovo M93p SCCM PXE boot

@arriettyYou can try this driver, it has solved the problem I had with pxe boot on this model https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6iKWIN8V5CVdWE3N1hsMmVydHM/edit?usp=sharing We forget very easily that you do not need the driver for the version of Windows you will deploy, but that you must use the driver for the version of Windows that WinPE is built on, in this case it's Windows 8/2012. In SCCM 2012 (not R2) is WinPE 4.0 (Windows 8/2012) and is WinPE 5.0 in R2 (Windows 8.1/2012 R2)

After messing with it for some time now, I went as far as opening up the WinPE.wim and add every folder and driver available from Intel using 18.8 and still get invalid nic drivers. I am currently using SCCM 2012 (non-CU1) and I understand I get an error when I just try to import that one and only e1d63x64.inf. Verified in the Windows 8 Device Manager that it is calling for that specific driver type. The following error:The selected driver is not applicable to any supported platforms. Now that I am unstanding perhaps I am not able to Import due to Windows 8 support but what alarms me is that I am not trying to Image Windows 8, I am using Windows 7 deployment only.... Other report that is how to go around resolving it, not working for me on MTM 10A9. Today I used dsim tool to add the .inf to the boot image, and replaced the existing boot.wim on the USB stick with the one i created, still getting the same results: No nic driver available. Anyone from Lenovo have a word on this where I can use these drivers like the other 95% of your product works fine on? Any suggestion would help. Eric

PXE Boot - Installation system files...

Hi there,
I need some clarity on the following please.
I am applying the October 2012 ZENworks Imaging Driver Update.
Before the update all works fine and it goes through the pxe boot process as follows.
Pxe boots fine and I get the pxe menu.
Once I select a menu option it goes through a few checks, usb devices etc.
then Sends the DHCP request and lastly
Loading installation system.....(55392 Kb)
I get the #prompt and can image fine.
After the update which I do by backing up and replacing the following pxe files.
srv/tftp/nvlnbp.sys
srv/tftp/boot/settings.txt
srv/tftp/boot/initrd
srv/tftp/boot/root
srv/tftp/boot/linux
I get the following.
Pxe boots fine and I get the pxe menu.
Once I select a menu option it goes through a few checks, usb devices etc.
then Sends the DHCP request and lastly
Loading installation system.....(15000 Kb) --> This file is a lot smaller.
Where do the above files come from..?
Then I get the #prompt and attempts to start the imaging process crash.
Maybe there is something I am missing in the update.
I did the pxe file updates. Is there anything else that should be updated for the pxe boot to work ?
As soon as I revert back to the old files, I get a complete download of the Installation system.
Thanks

Thanks I tried that, but sadly it did not work
The drivers work for the new hardware model, but the installation system that is downloaded is only 15000, then imaging crashes.
These are the only files that change between the working and not working system. Keeping the old root also did not work.
any ideas anyone ??

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

PXE-Boot with Linux

I have an IBM Machine (8193-75G) with Intel 10/100/1000 LAN. Is it
possible to do an PXE-Boot with Linux? Do I need a special driver?
Thanx

Type 2 Virtual Machine in Hyper-V will not PXE boot with WDS

Hi
Bit of a wierd scenario this but I'm doing a bit of a lab experiment kind of thing. The setup is as follows:
VMWare Workstation 10 with Windows Server 2012 R2 running as a virtual machine. In VMW10 I have a NAT network interface and a Bridging interface set to load with the virtual machine. These seem to work fine (although the NAT doesn't seem to want to connect
to the internet but that's why the bridging one is there in addition).
Server 2012 is configured with the following roles:
ADDS, DHCP, DNS, Hyper-V, Printer, WDS
I have correctly configured WDS to work on the same machine as DHCP and I can get PXE boot working with WDS on a Type1 Virtual Machine in Hyper-V using the Legacy Network adapter. My problem is when I try and PXE boot on a Type2 Virtual Machine (this type
is new in R2 and should eliminate the need for a legacy network adapter) using the same network interface that I used for the Type1 machine, I get an IP address from DHCP but WDS doesn't seem to respond. Instead I get the "PXE-E16: No Offer Received"
message. I have tried just about everything I can think of and spent the whole day trying to figure out why this is the case but came up with nothing. Has anyone else encountered this or can anyone shed any light on the matter?
Many thanks in advance

"VMWare Workstation 10 with Windows Server 2012 R2"and "Server 2012 is configured with the following roles: ADDS, DHCP, DNS, Hyper-V, Printer, WDS"
Hyper-V is not supported to be run as a VM. It is a Type 1 hypervisor, which means it works on the bare metal. You have it running as a VM on a Type-2 hypervisor, so it has no access to the bare metal. Yes, VMware may have made it so some
things work in that environment, but it is not a supported (or tested) environment for Hyper-V.

"Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard" never shows on PXE boot, but does on Boot Media with prestart command

Hey guys, I have a fairly odd situation here. I have all OSD Task Sequence advertisements set to "PXE and Boot Media (hidden)" and all are optional
(not mandatory). I use a powershell form via prestart command to give the user a choice which limits what task sequences they choose. When everything is working, this process works. Unknown desktop-class systems see desktop task sequences,
and server-class systems see server task sequences.
Here's where it's different when I use different boot methods:
Boot Media
"Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard" is presented. User hits or clicks Enter.
Powershell form is presented; user picks their task sequence
Confirmation screen is presented with the task sequence they selected (this is an OSD screen the same size as the "Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard"
screen.
Dependency check screen is shown with a progress bar. If a package is missing from a DP, it will display an error here with the PackageID. This
looks the same as "Regular" OSD with standard non-hidden advertisements.
PXE Boot
"Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard" is never displayed.
Powershell form is the first screen they see. They select it and it continues.
No confirmation screen is presented if the system is known; if it is an unknown system, a small dialog says there is a
*mandatory* task sequence about to be run and it will run in 180 seconds. Users can hit enter.
No dependency check screen is shown; and if a package was missing, instead of presenting an error, it simply reboots. However, if everything is there,
the process starts successfully.
While I have no problems with the first window never being displayed, not displaying the error dialog and simply rebooting is what is bothersome to me.
99% of our builds are from PXE boot.
Again, these task sequences are all 100% optional, NOT mandatory, and I've double checked this multiple times. Can anyone explain why we get different
behavior between boot media and PXE boot? Any way of getting PXE boot to "mimic" the Boot media behavior?
I followed the guide here:
http://www.mydreampage.net/2012/09/21/how-can-i-deploy-a-hidden-task-sequence-in-configuration-manager-2012-sp1/
If you see the image here:
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/uploads/monthly_09_2012/post-1-0-29840100-1348236179.png
You'll see the "Retrieving policy for this computer..." dialog box - I never get that with PXE - just Boot Media.
Note that I am running 2012 R2, not 2012 SP1 - but I never got a chance to test this process with SP1.
Upon further experimentation, the "hidden" task sequence has nothing to do with this. If I change it to a normal, non-hidden advertisement, as
long as the "prestart" command in the boot image is used, we don't get those missing dialog boxes at all, with PXE.

Are both boot images the same for PXE and the boot media? Same package ID and all?
Boot media for us always shows the task sequence wizard first, while PXE always displays the pre-start command first.
