Move PXE boot from WDS to SCCM

[PH25]

Hi,

We currently have a server which handles DHCP and WDS (lets say server A)

I've set up a new SCCM server (server B ) and would like PXE boot request to be handled by the new SCCM server, whilst keeping DHCP on the old server (A). At the moment, DHCP points PXE requests to the same server (A).

Despite deselecting the option in WDS to use this server for PXE, im not sure what changes i have to make to make server A give a DHCP IP offer then send to server B for handling PXE boot.

I'm also unclear whether i need to use WDS at all on the new SCCM server, in conjunction with system center, or whether system center can handle PXE all by itself.

Sorry to unclear; i'm a newbie to SCCM.

Yes, you do need WDS in combination with ConfigMgr. ConfigMgr relies on WDS for handling PXE.

Thank you. I think this thread can now be closed.
