craney Posted December 3, 2014 Report post Posted December 3, 2014 Good evening all, Just wondered if someone maybe able to lend me a hand. First off thanks so much for the guides on this site that are top draw and very easy to follow. I have a few brand new bare metal pc's that I would like to deploy my windows 7 image to. These have never been turned off so will not have the client installed or be on the network. Is there a way to be able to pxe boot a new PC? I was thinking maybe I could import it manually by adding the Mac address in by looking in the bios during boot but obviously there will be no computer name assigned. Is this possible? Many thanks all Liam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1mnl Posted December 3, 2014 Report post Posted December 3, 2014 If you import the computer you can choose the device name you like. Be sure the mac address is correct and assign the computer to the collection that has the deployment tasksequence assigned to.

craney Posted December 4, 2014 Report post Posted December 4, 2014 Hi guys I have gone to the 'import computer information' tab under assets and added in a random computer name as well as the mac address supplied by hyper v. I point it to my 'PXE boot' collection i created and it seems to go through ok. The machine appears in the all system list but not in the PXE collection list i specified. I'm really stumped now.. Any ideas whats happened here? EDIT Solved the issue, for some reason the default limiting collection had been set to servers and clients instead of all systems Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
