DHCP no longer giving out IP addresses to boot from network clients.

Hi,

 

We had a server crash this morning (Teamviewer used up all the memory).

 

After restarting the server we tried reinstalling a few machines by booting from the network. It now appears that DHCP gives out IP addresses to installed windows machines but when you try to boot from network it fails to get a IP from the DHCP server.

 

Any ideas what could have broken?

 

Thanks

Is the server authorized? Right click on the name and see if it says authorize or unauthorize

[dany2010]

Yep, says unauthorise. Have reinstalled the dhcp and deployment services with no luck.

 

Are there any config files that don't get removed with the DHCP server.

 

Going to try again tomorrow, have a break for tonight.

Try restarting wds, it can get a bit upset if it didn't shutdown cleanly last time

Think it had something to do with a permission somewhere, came in and reset the permissions on the WDS folder and gave it a reboot and now sems to work again.

 

Thanks
