pxe boot problems with remote distribution point (SCCM2012)

[JuhaK]

Hi,

 

I'm having problems with pxe boot, I'm trying to start building new OS (win7) with build and capture TS. This pxe has been working when I first installed SCCM and this remote dp with pxe, but after upgrading to SP1 and modifying settings when configuring MAC clients (changed traffit from http to https and certificates etc, by following http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj591553.aspx guide).

 

Okey, then specs..

 

error I get is attached pxe-error-1.jpeg

 

smspxe.log errors is attached as smspxe.jpeg

 

Network is:

xxx.xxx.210.xxx (sccm site server with all system roles ), srv2008R2

xxx.xxx.106.xxx (site system server with only pxe distribution point), srv2008R2

xxx.xxx.107.xxx (workstation (dhcp pool)

 

between 107 and 106 subnets there are no firewalls or routers, only dummy switches.

 

DHCP is on different server that SCCM or PXE DP. DHCP is still on same subnet as pxe DP.

DHCP options:

066: IP of pxe DP server

067: smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com (have tried other options here, like smsboot\x64\pxeboot.com etc)

 

I have reinstalled couple of times that WDS and distribution point, always same. Remote Distribution point uses HTTP to communicate clients and SCCM site server DP uses HTTPS for client communication, but I don't think that has nothing to do with this problem.

 

Also Site status and Component status are both healthy (green),, Distribution point status for both distribution points are healthy..

 

I'm running out of ideas here!! I know that it was even SP1 upgrade OR changes that Mac clients required that messed this up, but don't know how to go forward here

Hi all,

 

I figured it out. Problem here was that remote DP had self signed certificate in use, when I added same PKI certficate I used mut SCCM site server DP the PXE boot started to work fine!

Reason why I needed to do that is that client couldn't communicate with MP because MP used HTTPS for client communication. My remote DP (pxe) uses HTTP. Obviously that PKI cert can use also HTTP, it doesn't require traffic to be HTTPS... Ok, but now it works and everyone is happy
