PXE has stopped working

[ffridd]

Hi all

I have had WDS and PXE running quite happily for a few months, but all of a sudden it has stopped working.

 

WDS is installed on a member server

DNS & DHCP on a seperate server

Everything is on a single VLAN

Set to accept known & unknown

 

What I seem to be getting on 2 site is "pxe-e55: ProxyDHCP service did not reply to request on port 4011"

 

I've been looking around (including this forum) and can't quite find the same scenario.

 

This is a very basic setup - what am I missing? It was all working without any issues until recently. Have there been any patches to Win2k8R2 that would affect it?

 

Any advice would be very gratefully received!

 

Thanks in advance

Rich

Hi,

Check out this excellent guide on how to troubleshoot PXE related issues. http://blogs.technet.com/b/system_center_configuration_manager_operating_system_deployment_support_blog/archive/2011/10/14/troubleshooting-the-pxe-service-point-and-wds-in-configuration-manager-2007.aspx

Thanks Jorgen

Unfortunately I'm not using SCCM / Config Manager, just WDS and MDT2010 for very simple Win7 and application rollout.

 

What gets me is that everything was fine up until recently, now 2 sites have fallen over!

Has anyone else had a similar issue as this ?

We have a very simple installation, with WDS on a member server, which has simply stopped working, with no PXE responses received by clients when they try to boot from the network.

 

Did Richard ever get a solution ?
