Rocket Man Posted January 16, 2013 Report post Posted January 16, 2013 Has anyone else experienced this irregular strange behaviour whilst PXE booting into WinPE. I make TS available and at the prompt I press f12 for network service boot, this should then automatically download the PXE file, but it does not. Instead it loads up another page requesting me to choose my boot file which is the x86 boot.wim. After I hit return it then continues to download the PXE file. This happens more often than not. It is very strange as I could test it on a physical machine and also on a VM and it may or may not do this. I have quite a few sites that are non SP1 and have never seen this behaviour ever. Anyone else have similar experiences? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyver78 Posted January 17, 2013 Report post Posted January 17, 2013 Yeah I upgraded to SP1 and have 2 working test lab sites and 1 production site, one of my test labs does exactly what you described above, the other doesnt and they're identical so go figure that out.

Rocket Man Posted January 17, 2013 Report post Posted January 17, 2013 I built approx 5 test labs with beta sp1 and had similar to you, some did it some did not. I thought it was a beta issue but obviously not. Thanks Microsoft for the early RTM release :angry: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iroqouiz Posted January 24, 2013 Report post Posted January 24, 2013 Had the same issue sometimes after upgrading to SP1. I have to say, SP1 doesn't really seem suited for upgrading, too many weird things happened to my site. I've set up a new server (Win Srv 2012, SQL 2012) and installed SP1 from scratch and I haven't seen any of these or other issues so far, knock on wood. I'm preparing to migrate all the clients soon.

Rocket Man Posted February 2, 2013 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 OK, Just back at this SP1 site and now everything is OK(have done nothing), it is booting as it should from a f12 press..... Still very strange though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iroqouiz Posted February 4, 2013 Report post Posted February 4, 2013 I still have this issue sometimes, no idea what triggers it. It always boots up to the correct boot image though, so it doesn't seem to matter ultimately. Just annoying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
