Greetings All:
I have WDS in my environment. I have several boot images along with several install images (all based on make/model of machine). My WDS server is a standalone (separate from DHCP server). Most deployments work fine except for 1. It seems that I am having an issue with one of the images. I turn on the laptop and hit F12 to enter network boot. I can see that the machine receives an IP address and can connect to the WDS server. Once I am prompted with the list of available boot images, I select the correct one. It loads just fine, however once its done and WinPE starts, it cannot detect the DHCP server.
The only major difference that I can tell is that with other boot images, once it loads, the WinPE box shows up and stays while you can see the progress. With the newer boot image, the WinPE box just flashes.
