Baffling PXE boot issue

[UltimateIdiot]

Hello,

 

Having a problem with desktop computers unable to PXE boot. During Boot I receive the following:

 

Downloaded WDSNBP from 10.60.1.32

 

Architecture: x64

 

Pending Request ID: 3

Message from administrator:
Configuration Manager is looking for policy.

 

Contacting Server: 10.60.1.32.
TFTP Download: smsboot\x64\pxeboot.com

 

Afterwhich, System Configuration launches then reboots the computer or throws up a blue screen with:

 

 

Recovery

 

Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

 

The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors.

 

File:\SMSTemp\....boot.bcd

Error code: 0xc000000f

 

Really stumped at this point.

 

Thanks in advance

sounds like you are missing network drivers in the boot image for the hardware in question, can you press f8 and grab the smsts.log file available in x:\windows\temp\smstslog

A couple things going on:

 

1 - it appears the involved computer has some sort of hardware issue (i.e. bad ram, etc.)

2 - did a query for the MAC and found that it existed in the client list with a far different name than it should have been.

3 - rebooted the network switch, also seems to have helped.

 

I'm still getting this message on the PXE BIOS boot screen:

Pending Request ID: 3

Message from administrator:
Configuration Manager is looking for policy.

 

But it continues to boot and I can image the machine. I tried several machines and they are all receiving that

Search by GUID also. In rare cases of a computer was a member of a collection and the computer was deleted, I've seen that ALSO keep a PC from booting to PXE but not blue screen.

 

Is this a remote DP by chance? Try redistributing the boot image. Otherwise I'd verify the driver is in the boot image as any web stated.
