khawkins Posted November 1, 2017 Report post Posted November 1, 2017 Hi all, I have been working on an issue for the last week relating to PXE booting . It seems to have happened when upgrading to 1706 CB and ADK 1709. I have updated the boot image in sccm and imported the new boot into WDS. All devices boot into PXE but restart after preparing network connections. F8 shows I am getting a valid IP and can ping the DP\PXE server. The boot image is 10.0.16299. We use Dell devices (E7450 Opti 9020 etc) Error Failed to download PXE variable file after retrials. Exit code=22. PxeGetPxeData failed with 0x8004016c smsts.log Troubleshooting; Uninstalled PXE, WDS and deleted the Remoteinstall folder. Reinstalled PXE point Redistributed boot image Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? Thanks Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted November 1, 2017 Report post Posted November 1, 2017 the error above translates to " A network error interrupted the operation. Source: Windows ----- " do you get an ip in WinPE ? did you try adding network drivers for the hardware involved to your boot image ? this script will help you identify if you have missing drivers in the boot image and will inform you if so Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khawkins Posted November 1, 2017 Report post Posted November 1, 2017 Yeah I get a valid IP and can ping the DP\PXE server when F8 in WinPE. I will run the attached script to see if it throws up any missing drivers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
