Surface pro 4 does not PXE boot

[jack_SCCM]

Hello,

 

I am trying to PXE boot surface pro 4 and for some reason it does not boot. I get the attached message. It tries to PXE over IP v4, then reaches my correct DP that has PXE and WDS, it finds the correct NBP file SMSBoot\x64\wdsnbp.com (this is specified in DHCP option), it appears to be downloading and NBP file is successfully downloaded. Then without prompting to press Enter key for PXE boot, it moves to IPV6.

 

I have tried below but no luck

 

• Upgrade firmware to latest
• disable secure boot
• Removed DHCP option - but this time it doesn't even finds my PXE server
• Verified and made sure MAC address of network adapter is not registered with SCCM DB
• Tried docking station and no luck

I can PXE boot a desktop on same network with no issues.

 

Any suggestions would be helpful

 

Thanks.

I when I start I get the finger on the volume + button and I choose the Pxe Network option but does not boot reboots automatically as if I had not found

I already changed in the bios of the surface the boot by pxe but it does not start

Hello there. I know this thread is pretty old, and I have not found a solution yet, but maybe a cause. When you deploy an OS with SCCM 2012 it registers the docking stations MAC as the surface pros MAC. If you try to image multiple surface pros from the same docking station it will see that the MAC is already in it's system and skip over PXE boot.

you can add hardware mac addresses in SCCM 1606 or later via Administration, select Site Configuration select Sites, then click Hierarchy Settings and add your mac addresses

Thank you anyweb that was exactly what I needed.
