Herwin_D Posted May 30, 2015 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 Hello, When i'm installing a new laptop, and start the laptop with PXE, i see the IP adres of the site server (which has pxe enabled distributionpoint role) (where i thought i needed to see the ip address of the distributionpoint. I also installed a distributionpoint in de laptop site, enabled pxe, changed DHCP to point to the distributionpoint. Copied all packages needed in the task sequence to the DP, (also the bootimage used in de task sequence) So the task sequence runs fine. thats not an issue. The issue is that starting from the boot image is slow. when I start the laptop within de same subnet as the site server, i see the dowloading of the bootimage rapidly, when i do the same in de laptop site, the download is slow (taking up more then a minute or 2 to download the image) So in short, it doesn't matter where i start the pxe boot from, I alsways see the ip address of the site server, not the pxe server i think he needs to use. The packages do come from the distribution point. Can anybody clarify this? By the way, very nice site! found a lot of usefull tips and tricks for SCCM!

Rocket Man Posted May 30, 2015 Report post Posted May 30, 2015 As you have configured 2 PXE enabled DPs then yes the client PXE booting from the remote site should see the IP of the local DP and not the IP of site server across the WAN link. How is your boundaries, boundary groups etc configured? Just make sure to add the remote DP to the correct boundary in the boundaries node.

Herwin_D Posted June 1, 2015 Report post Posted June 1, 2015 Hello Rocket Man, I almost know for sure my boundaries are setup right, ip of site server is in 10.0.20.x Client is in IP range 10.8.20 /23 Remote DP has ip addres 10.8.128.x /24 boundarie group setup with 2 ip ranges, 10.8.20.1-10.8.21.254 and 10.8.128.1-10.8.128.254. On the tab references, the site system server is the DP in that subnet. on fast lan (for him thats all fast.) So maybe im missing something?

Peter van der Woude Posted June 1, 2015 Report post Posted June 1, 2015 It sounds like your PXE of the site server is responding to the client in the remote site. If so, than that's the reason why it's downloading the boot files from that location. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herwin_D Posted June 2, 2015 Report post Posted June 2, 2015 Peter, Thx you pointed me in the right direction. checked my configuration, did see that the site server had 5 sec delay,. and the dp should react immidiately. I first tested this with shutting down the wds service on the site server, all worked immidiately. So the SCCM config was working properly. When I restarted the WDS service, it went straight away to the site server. So checked my network, and on my network there was an ip helper address configured, with the ip address of the site server.. So all with all, just another configuration error :-) This case is closed!
