[mdt] MDT and pxe boot

[shoggie]

I dont think it is my settings in DHCP that is stopping WDS working over VLans as all works fine when my test PC is on the server VLan.

 

I think it is down to PXE boot not getting a DHCP address from the DHCP servers thus not alowing it to go any further??????

[shoggie]

Further testing. test PC in server Vlan finds and IP address and then boots into PXE and the WDS. Even if I remove 066 and 067 rules from my DHCP. I think My problem is when my test PC is in another VLan the PXE boot is not evern getting a DHCP IP address and this is what needs to be resolved 1st. Could it be down to my switches (CISCO)?

 

Any Ideas?

 

PS Thanks for all help so far

Or is there something on the WDS that I need to configure so whatever it is sending out can be got on any VLan?

Just did a quick google and it seems if your running vlans on cisco switches you need to make some changes to the switch configs in order for PXE boot to see your servers in the server VLAN.

Got it thanks Needed 066 setting up with WDS ip address (nothing more)

And 067 setting up with boot\x64\wdsnbp.com

 

did this under the server scope of the each DHCP server

 

Thanks you all for your help
