Hi,
I've recently installed SCCM (MECM) on Windows 2022 server and SQL 2019 server. I have WDS installed, I've distributed the boot images, all successful, ready to go. This is all inside vmware esxi, I have it setup on a separate network to my main network in SCCM, I've basically assigned the VM's to a new vswitch and assigned a disconnected NIC so the boxes have no internet access and not reachable form my main network BUT I can open a vmware console window to both servers and I can successfully ping the other server from each box so looks ok. I have setup a Win10 VM client and when i try to network boot, it comes up starting ipv4 and then goes back to the menu. At one point I had it show a valid IP address but again it sits and then goes back to the menu, it doesn't load the boot images.
Any idea what I've done wrong or which log file I can check as I can't press F8 to view any logs as it doesn't get to load the boot image so I'm not sure what's happening.
Also, I've noticed in WDS, there is no boot images, should SCCM have added them to WDS as part of the deployment?
If this doesn't work, I'm left with having to scrap the lab environment i was hoping for and set it up on my main network which I wanted to avoid as I don't want existing clients to be linked to it, wanted to keep it separate.
Thanks
Kev
