Is handled via unicast, I guess, so there should be no need of the "relay feature" (and TFTP download is working). I also thought that after the "discovery" the communication switches to unicast. Even the TFTP download traffic Is for broadcast traffic so that clients are able to "reach" a DHCP server in a different subnet in the initial phase of the DHCP process. I always thought the relay / IP helper address configuration on the switch Unless I do not really understand how the relay configuration should be the cause of this problem, I will ask the networkers to tell me how the switches are configured right now.

Thank you for your efforts to help me in this case. We only have known computers (existing AD objects).

I have read some posts dealing with quite similar problems but these were all dealing with "unknown computer support in WDS" but in our case Just to clearify: in this status the client seems to be "hanging" - maybe it is waiting for something.Īfter reading the mail from my indian colleague again, I think the client does not reboot eventually and that the reboot/reset was initiated by him.

then it shows "Contacting server: -> and to indicate processing it outputs dots (this is were the process seems to stop).

then it shows a "Pending Request ID" (I think this has to deal with WDS).

then it shows the detected system architecture (圆4).

then it reports that wdsnbp was downloaded successfully.

then it shows information about the configuration that was applied (IP, subnet mask and so on).

first you see how the client makes a DHCP request.

In a screenshot my colleague from india sent me I can see the "usual PXE boot screen": I'm not sure how much time passes exactly because the tests are done by our onsite supporters in india where the remote site is "located".Īs I can see in smspxe.log there are several lines similar to the last two lines I posted in the initial post, for several minutes. When that is done, watch SMSPXE.log file closely and restart the WDS service on your PXE Service Point. Is detecting the 圆4 architecture and is obviously downloading, but go ahead and refresh both boot images on the PXE Service Point. I don't think that you need the files in there because your client Have you distributed the x86 boot image to the PXE Service Point? If the smsboot\x86 folder is empty, it may be because the x86 boot image was never sent to the PXE Service Point. This is the smsboot\ \ file that you TFTP download. These options tell the client 1) the IP address of your PXE Service Point and 2) the path to the file that's The DHCP server replies with PXE information - the information is what is contained in scope options 66 and 67 on that DHCP server. So the discovery is saying "I would to talk to a DHCP server. When the PXE client sends a DHCP discovery request, but it adds I don't think you'll need to configure the WDS server IP as a "secondary" relay/IP helper address because you're already contacting the WDS server when you TFTP the file. If you're getting far enough to see that, then the PXE process has already completed and you're in the WDS process. You're right about the "Pending Request ID" being related to WDS. The boot image which is referenced by the advertised task sequence was copied successfully to the DPs and the PXEImages$ Share/DP.

In the smspxe.log there are no error messages, it looks like this: Then it downloads successfully the file which can be seen in WDS event log on PXE server and on the screen output.īut then the client stops the boot process without any error message and after some time it reboots. My test client recieves IP address and boot information from the DHCP (on separated server).

I have created a computer object with the client's MAC adress in the SCCM database and added it to a collection where a Windows 7 OS deployment task sequence is advertised to. (according to PXE setup log file and pxecontrol.log)Īfter solving some smaller problems I now have this situation: We have a PXE service point installed on the secondary site server and it seems to be installed without errors and working fine. I am trying to solve a PXE problem in a remote secondary site.
