SCCM PXE Boot Help

[vijayg]

Hello IT People,

 

I am setting up an SCCM Lab on VMware ESXI . Thats all setup. I have setup and followed guides on SCCM setup and all install fine. I have the following setup

 

1. VMware ESXI with server 2019 OS

2. DC on separate server with DNS DHCP

3. SCCM setup on different server with all the IIS Web server , net frame.. , SQL 2019 SCCM 2002 MECM, ADK 2004 Win PE 2004 etc

4. All fire walls turned off

5. I can between the servers

6. No Vlans

7. Distributed all Content to DP points

8. PXE enable which installed the WDS role

9. Checked all PXE option on DP ,

10. Configured DHCP with scope and server option 66 boot server and 67 file name

11. I am getting DHCP request fine when booting

12. Add boot file to WDS form windows DVD 10

13. Added boot file top WDS form remote install folder sms images

14. Update the server

15. Created a deployed Task sequence

 

 

When ever I PXE boot it just says no PXE boot aborted boot to next device no OS found. I have gone through a load of forums but nothing seems to work. This driving me nuts now it just seem not picking up the SCCM boot image i think ?

 

Any body with some advise please thanks a lot

You need to add everything to sccm, not wds if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have added boot images and updated to DP on SCCM

What does the PXE SCCM log say?

Which collection have you deployed the task sequence to? If the device isn't yet in SCCM you'll need to deploy it to unknown devices for it to boot, also make sure you select clients and PXE during deployment (not the exact wording)

Thanks all for your advise . I have seem to got it to work but haven’t gone through the whole deployment.

 

The issues that resolved this part for me was going on the WDS

1. select properties

2. Select PXE tab

3. And tick respond to all clients

Using DHCP options isn’t supported and causes issues. You should use IP Helpers on your core switch.

You should not do steps 12 and 13 - everything must be added through SCCM. SCCM uses WDS in it's own way so if you start adding things directly to WDS SCCM wont work properly.

The boot image should be added from the Windows ADK.
