SOLVED GenerateBootBcd() failed. d0000043, PXE working on Configuration Manager 2207 with ADK 22H2

[Javed Dar]

We are running into issues with PXE on Configuration Manager 2207. We were initially getting the following error.


after upgrading to ADK22H2, PXE stopped working we can see the requests are sent to SCCM server but then we get the following errors on the server.


I have uninstalled PXE, and WDS, and deleted the "RemoteInstall". reinstall the PXE, and the "RemoteInstall" folder is populated with the boot image, but still getting the same PXE error message.

I see the following errors coming up alot.

[HelloCanada]

I have the same issue to Boot from PXE. Any advise please!!!!

 

[Prajwal Desai]

This looks like an issue with the boot images. Are these Custom boot images?. If so, try re-distributing them to DP's.

 

[HelloCanada]

Hi Prajwal,
Thank you for your answers.

So there's something weird with MECM so. My deployment didn't work on All unknown Computers which is X64 and X84 bit but the same task sequence worked on another collection to deploy Windows Server 2022 on a 2016 Sever.

I'm so curious to understand why the same task sequence can behave differently depend on the collection it assigned.

Please help understand this warning

By the way, Prajwal thank you so much for this forum. I learn a lot about MECM.

 

[Javed Dar]

We have resolved the issue.
We were running Cisco AMP, and that was scanning the file. We disabled the AMP and were able to create a new Boot Image and distribute it to DP. OS deployment is working now.

 

[HelloCanada]

Thanks @Javed Dar. But our system is Running everything on the same subnet. It's not important to use an IP Helper.

if you are running everything on the same subnet, then you don't need an IP Helper.
