Having a strange issue. W2K31 R2/SCCM 2007 SP1. After adding PXE service point system is fine. But each time I reboot the WDS service won't start. Upon logging in I can start it manually and everything works fine including PXE deployments etc.

I did all usual things - remove PXE point, remove WDS etc and readd but still getting problem

In fact given this is a lab I rebuilt server from scratch using just localsystem account for SQL access (just in case)

This is the error I get in smspxe.log

MPDB ERROR - CONNECTION PARAMETERS
SQL Server Name     : LONSCM02\SCCM
SQL Database Name   : SMS_SCM
Integrated Auth     : True
MPDB ERROR - EXTENDED INFORMATION
MPDB Method         : Init()
MPDB Method HRESULT : 0x80004005
Error Description   : Cannot open database "SMS_SCM" requested by the login. The login failed.
OLEDB IID           : {0C733A8B-2A1C-11CE-ADE5-00AA0044773D}
ProgID              : Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
MPDB ERROR - INFORMATION FROM DRIVER
SQL Server Name   : LONSCM02\SCCM
Native Error no. : 4060
Error State       : 1
Class (Severity) : 11
Line number in SP : 1

This to me indicates that there's some sort of login failure to the SQL database presumable to get the PXE certificate and therefore WDS service doesn't start - but its only using default values local system etc. etc.

anybody else hit this problem or got any thoughts ?

Thanks

I can confirm that I also have the same issue. Not sure the cause though.

I know this is probably a silly question, but is the SQL service started?

The SQL services startup no problem. Now I guess it could be a timing issue with order of operation between the services?

Yes - Just standard SQL 2005 SP2. The browser service is set to disabled but I think that's standard SQL

William - interested to know - do you get the same message as I posted above in the smspxe.log ?

The interesting thing is that I had absolutely no issue when I downloaded the SCCM 2007 RTM eval - only seems to be now I have a proper copy and its SP1.

Also do you see a message about dcom permissions in the system event log just before the error about not being able to start the WDS service
