ldegroot -> PXE Boot issues (7/18/2008 1:46:32 AM)

All

I am having an intermittment issue where the PXE boot process works for a while, and then stops responding to PXE request from machines:

SP1 is installed..

From what I have read, deleting the machine from the console and re-adding the MAC address and restarting the WDS service always fixes the issue...Obviously this is more a work around than usual practice

Currently, I have a mandatory advert set to always re-run, and still when the client boots is shows the attached message.

I am not using MDT 2008
I don't want to constantly remove and re-add the machine account just to get the PXE function working correctly each time, everytime.

Also, here is an excerpt from the SMSPXE.log

Any suggestions, please?

Hi Have you tried the 'Clear Last PXE advertisement' in the console right click tools for the computer ? brgds

atodd -> RE: PXE Boot issues (7/18/2008 11:14:09 AM)
Hi, You will need to check your advert settings, you need to enable the Make this task sequence available to boot media and PXE option. The default is to have this off. Hope this helps Regards Adrian

HI guys, Both suggestions have been done...that was the first things we checked...as I said this is a intermittent problem...

bcosier -> RE: PXE Boot issues (7/22/2008 1:10:18 PM)
I've run into the same thing on my servers. I read a post that suggested refreshing the DPs that your boot images are on. That's been working for me so far. Bit of a pain, but at least it's working. BC

Items 1 and 2 are the most frequent causes for a working PXE system to stop working... Network Access Account Not Set Resolution: Go into the Client Policy in SCCM and set a Network Access Account. It sometimes "disappears" even after everything has been working fine. http://www.myitforum.com/forums/m_177370/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#177370 PXE CERT Not Set Resolution: Check the PXE Certificate in the SCCM console. Verify that the Root CA is trusted. Alternatively, reset the expiration date. Sometimes the PXE process stops liking the certificate. http://www.myitforum.com/forums/m_177312/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#177312 GetHostByName Failed Resolution: Ensure the FQDN is properly set. http://www.myitforum.com/forums/m_177318/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#177318

Glad to help. You have no idea how long it took to figure that one out...
