PXE-Boot isn´t working (unknown error 80004005)

[maestro86]

Hello everybody,

 

I´ve installed SCCM 2012 R2 in our network and my problem is that PXE-Boot suddenly isn´t working anymore. The smspxe.log shows the following error message:

 

 

Failed to get information for MP: http://<SCCM server FQDN>. 80004005. SMSPXE 04.11.2014 08:45:26 4620 (0x120C)

Because of the last line, I have no clue where to start looking for the problem. There´s no other matching error in the other logs like mpcontrol.log. I´ve checked the permissions to the database, uninstalled MP and DP and reinstalled them after two server reboots and assurance of clean removal of WDS, but no success. When restarting the SCCM-Server after reinstall, a similar error message appears in the smspxe.log while loading the PXE-Provider (WDS).

Other functions like software deployment work perfectly, it´s only the PXE-Boot which drives me crazy now for at least two weeks. It worked before and suddenly it stopped.

SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 and hotfix is installed along with SQL-Server 2012 SP2 CU2 on a single Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard server.

I hope somebody here can help me because Google has no matching solution for me.

Did you configureHTTP or HTTPS on your MP.

IF you use HTTPS:You need to configure your PXE DP with a certificate that your MP will accept.

Hi,

 

I configured HTTP. Is it possible, that I also need a certificate for HTTP?

 

Greetings

Ok, I´ve found the problem, it was selfmade. I configured the Windows Firewall to allow local access from the server itself to the SQL server only. This has worked for the most time, but I missed a very important thing. The server has also an IPv6 adress and tries to use that adress, which is not included in the firewall policy. So I disabled IPv6 and everything works fine now.

 

Why is Microsoft not able of producing clear error messages? :angry: But other companies aren´t really better, I know.
