SCCM 2007 SP2 on Windows 2008 R2 problem with PXE boot

[JLD]

I have been trying to get a test system to boot with a PXE setup.

 

Basics on the install:

Windows 2008 R2

SCCM 2007 SP2

 

I have followed all of the instructions, and installed WDS without setting it up. Then installed the ConfigMgr PXE service point.

 

I then opened the Operating System Deployment entry, went to Boot Images and updated the Distribution Points for both Boot image (x64) and Boot image (x86) to point to the SCCM 2007 server for both standard distribution and SMSPXEIMAGES$.

 

At that point I verified that the folders were populated with the proper files. They are

C:\RemoteInstall\SMSBoot\x64

abortpxe.com

bootmgfw.efi

bootmgr.exe

pxeboot.com

pxeboot.n12

wdsnbp.com

C:\RemoteInstall\SMSBoot\x86

abortpxe.com

bootmgr.exe

pxeboot.com

pxeboot.n12

wdsnbp.com

 

The network helpers are present:

pointing ot the server

testserver.test.local

and correct file for booting

SMSBoot\x64\pxeboot.com

 

The test computer boots ot the PXE loader, it checks out an IP address and starts the boot process.

Looking at the log file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SMS_CCM\Logs\smspxe.log

I see that it receives a connection and sends requested information.

Then on the PXE booting workstation, an ERROR is displayed

 

 

Windows Boot MAnager (Server IP: 010.001.100.051)

Windows Failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the

cause. To fix the problem:

 

1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.

2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."

3. Click "Repair your computer."

 

If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer

manufacturer for assistance

i would first try changing your ip helper. you should use \SMSBoot\x86\wdsnbp.com rather than SMSBoot\x64\pxeboot.com. even if you are using x64 images you still need to use the x86.

Gah, that seems to have solved part of the issue.

 

Thanks very much!

What fixed it? Using IP Helper or \SMSBoot\x86\wdsnbp.com rather than SMSBoot\x64\pxeboot.com?

Gah, that seems to have solved part of the issue.

Thanks very much!
