CHR1S Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 One PC, reimaging, booted into PXE fine on first run. I forgot to create the task sequence, so rebooted and now it refuses to boot into PXE with no error messages at all. Hit F12 and it downloads the WDS boot image then just says "PXE Boot Aborted" Cleared out ADUC and reset the WDS services, still no luck. Any ideas?
themightymrp Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Try using diskpart to wipe the disk using the 'clean' command. Sometimes if one of our deploys ditches out, it picks up part of the previous attempt from the c:\minint folder and won't ever get back in to the wizard properly. Wiping the disk cures it 2
AngryTechnician Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Check the Event logs under Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > Deployment-Services-Diagnostics and see if there are any clues there.
CHR1S Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 its saying its expecting an x32 boot image... yet its an x64 PC and has already booted into the x64 image.
Gatt Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Try deploying the 32bit boot image anyway I know SCCM has an issue with this - so WDS may have a similar issue

Wiping the disk cures it I just fdisk'ed the partition and its all fine. Thanks @themightymrp

themightymrp Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Glad that worked Its a half complete task sequence or something that it tries to recover from - it just can't get past it! Wipe the disk and away you go 1
Oaktech Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I've got a machine building with RIS (I know, I know...) that has done something similar, downloads a load of stuff, scans for drivers and then hangs. I'm going to Fdisk it and see what happens...
Oaktech Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Yup... But I'm stuck with an RM network that we can't afford to replace.
