TrickStar84 Posted April 18, 2013 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 Hello, I have SCCM 2012 installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment. Now our company is buying some HP ElitePad 900 provided with Windows 8 x32. Unfortunately i can't PXE boot with these devices because SCCM 2012 on a 2008 R2 server doesn't support UEFI x86 from what i heard. If anybody has any suggestions on how i still might be able to accomplished this then please tell me. Anyway the only solution there seems to be is migration to a Windows Server 2012 where it is supported. My question what is the best way too do this? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneone Posted April 23, 2013 Report post Posted April 23, 2013 Hello! Windows 7 and Vista ect does not support UEFI under x86 so it does not really matter what OS you are running on the server. Have you created a new Task Sequence with the UEFI format option? and have you enabled UEFI pxe-boot on the device in the bios?

TrickStar84 Posted April 25, 2013 Report post Posted April 25, 2013 Windows 8 defintly supports UEFI under x86. In fact you can't even run the bios in legacy mode for the ElitePad 900. I'm thinking about installing a second primary server on Windows Server 2012 en then shut down the old 2008 r2 primary site.

GarthMJ Posted May 7, 2013 Report post Posted May 7, 2013 The only supported way to do this is a backup and restore of CM12, You have no other options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithelpme Posted May 8, 2013 Report post Posted May 8, 2013 @TrickStar, I'm in exactly the same boat as you and can't find a way to PXE boot UEFI. I've done an in place upgrade from windows server 2008 to server 2012 but PXE boot still doesn't work with UEFI clients. Booting from UEFI media (USB Flash Drive) is working fine. I may need to install a fresh Windows 2012 server to see if that changes anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickStar84 Posted May 14, 2013 Report post Posted May 14, 2013 @GarthMJ i was afraid i had to do that. Does that also mean that the new Server 2012 needs the same FQDN. @ithelpme I'm kinda surprised that even that didn't work. Did you install CU1? anyhow keep me up to date how your process goes.

GarthMJ Posted May 14, 2013 Report post Posted May 14, 2013 Yes everything will need to be exactly the same. For example: FQDN, Drive layout, etc.. however you can upgrade SQL to a newer version. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
