Anthony Mel Posted March 7, 2013 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 Just wondering if anyone here has gotten a Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 to network PXE boot to SCCM. Right now I'm using the Lenovo USB Ethernet adapter and it does start the PXE boot process and finds the server. After that I see Downloading NBP file... Succeeded to download NBP file and then it goes on to the next boot device. In the SMSPXE log file nothing looks odd and I see no warnings, it finds the advertisment and the last log entry is looking for BootImage. I have an x86 boot image for this TS but maybe I should use the x64 one? I know this is an Atom device and that it's x86 but it's pulling the smsboot\x64\pxeboot.com file. Which I think is a little odd. I haven't tired yet via bootable media but I really wan't to get this to work via PXE network boot.

Schikitar Posted March 7, 2013 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 We just received 8 of these devices as part of a trial. As I'm only half way through building our CM2012 server I hadn't got round to building and deploying an image to the tablets as yet. When I do I'll see how things go down for us, otherwise, I'll be keeping an eye on your thread. I hope a simple solution is around the corner...

Anthony Mel Posted March 7, 2013 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 I think WDS on Windows Server 2008 R2 can not network boot (PXE) x86 UEFI hence the issue. If you look at the link below you and scroll down to Extensible Firmware Interface you will see what I mean. So I guess you either need to install SCCM on a Windows Server 2012 machine, or use MDT and WDS on Windows Server 2012 machine or just stay away from x86 tablets and wait for Intel Atom Baytrail and x64 UEFI. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh974416.aspx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
