PENDING Cant PXE boot after reinstating WDS and PXE on DP

[Daysofstatic]

Hello Prajwal,

Recently, i tried updating the boot images on SCCM 1809 by checking the "allow command support" box on the images. After updating the boot images on the distribution point, i could no longer boot into windows PE. PXE worked, but just before PE loaded it would bomb out and request a restart with "no OS found". Following this, i reinstalled PXE on the DP as per the microsoft documentation. Now we cant PXE boot at all with these errors;

PXE-T01: Specified file not found
PXE-E3B: TFTPError - File not found

I spotted this around the time i tried reinstalling PXE;

Since then it seems that the SMSPXE.log is no longer communicating

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

I've since solved this issue by re generating the boot images, however the problem still stands that if i enable command support on the boot images, PXE boot stops functioning. Anyone else have this issue or know any details? I'm not finding anything on google.

That's strange issue. May i know what is the server on which SCCM is running ?.

windows server 2016 data center, which is a virtual vsphere box, the sql server instance is running on the same box, which is also the DP.

Hi Prajwal,

I am new to this forum and I have always followed and learned a lot from you. I wanted to share with you an error that I am receiving in my Task Sequence, when I boot from PXE. This is happening since I configured CMG. Please if someone could give me some help with this error, I would appreciate it.​

I might be wrong, but that looks like an issue with the certificates.

@Daysofstatic Could you please add your NAA on the folder REMOTEINSTALL which will be on the DP. It should go away after that. Let us know how it goes.

@deepak: What is that NAA ?
I have the same issue with PXEboot.
