SCCM / WDS / PXE Issues

[levellers]

Hi,

 

I'm having an issue getting a bare-metal machine to boot to PXE in Hyper-V and I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

 

The setup.

 

Hyper-V Running on Server 2008 R2 with one virtual network (private) the VMs have no contact with the host or the internet.

 

DC01.domain.com (IP: 10.0.0.1), OS: Server 2008 R2, ROLES: AD, DHCP.

DHCP Scope: 10.0.0.50-10.0.0.100

 

SVR1.domain.com (IP: 10.0.0.2). OS: Server 2008 R2, WDS server role installed and SCCM.

 

CL1: Bare-metal machine, legacy network adapter.

 

This is what I did:

 

Installed SQL Server 2008 and all pre-reqs for SCCM

 

Installed and configured SCCM

 

Installed MDT and allowed SCCM Console integration

 

I then followed THIS GUIDE http://blogs.technet.com/b/oob/archive/2011/01/05/troubleshooting-the-pxe-service-point-and-wds-in-configuration-manager-2007.aspx to set up the WDS role and SCCM PXE point.

 

I then made sure my boot images (both X64 and X86) were copied to both distribution points (normal and PXE), waited for this to finish.

 

SO NOW.... I want to test that I have set it up right and want to boot a bare-metal VM into PXE. It just sits there on DHCP and does not get an address.

 

Am I right in thinking I don't need to add OS image files just yet if all I want to do is test that the PXE point is working? I'm not expecting to get very far... but I would expect the machine to pick up DHCP, boot into PXE and show the two boot images???

 

I have tried everything I can think of. Can anyone help?

Hey,

 

Did you create a task sequence and advertised it?
