SOLVED PXE-E55: ProxyDHCP service did not reply to request port 4011

[Juan M.]

Hi,

I have been unable to boot from PXE from my system.
Any computer I try to boot from it I get:
PXE-E55: ProxyDHCP service did not reply to request on port 4011

I'm able to deploy an image from USB, but not PXE.
Boot images have been configured to boot from pxe and distribution point has pxe enabled.

I'm wondering if I would need ADK installed on the Distribution point?^?
thought this since this is the error I'm seeing in SMSPXE.log
Failed to open registry key 'Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Kits\Installed Roots', unable to find location of ADK SMSPXE 9/6/2017 3:19:01 PM 2196 (0x0894)

Have you seen this - https://prajwaldesai.com/pxe-e55-proxydhcp-did-not-reply-to-request-on-port-4011/

note that ADK is not required on distribution points.

 

[Juan M.]

Yes, I have.
WDS and DHCP are in different servers.

Did you have modified in the DHCP Options ? Can you try to disable DHCP Options 60,43, 66, and 67.
Can you capture a screenshot of your PXE Settings from DP ? (Enable PXE for clients...)

 

[Juan M.]

Please see the attached images for configuration.

 

[Juan M.]

Oh, and:

• WDS is in my distribution point.
• DHCP is on a separate server (domain controller)
• and its all on the same ip range.

 

[Youssef Saad]

PXE Settings appear to be correct.

You can try the disable DHCP Option 67 with set the config below in your registry (WDS Server) :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WDSServer\Parameters\UseDhcpPorts to 0​

 

[Juan M.]

did this but didnt work... sorry.
I'm also seeing that in the WDS server properties, I find the following box to be marked:


as a reminder, WDS server and DHCP are in separate servers.WDS is in my Distribution point.

thank you for your help on this.... I have not said it even once.. just noticed... my apologies.

 

[Prajwal Desai]

Are you using IP helpers ?. If not DHCP options 66, 67 should be configured. Do not configure anything WDS console, just leave it as it is.

 

[Juan M.]

No, not using IP helpers so I believe I have configured 66 and 67 correctly.


66 with my WDS IP.

 

[Prajwal Desai]

Can you delete the option 60 ?. I also want you to undo the changes done on WDS console.

 

[Juan M.]

We finally got to delete option 60, thought that by unchecking the checkbox it was done but seems not.

• so now is FINALLY contacting the WDS server in the Distribution point.
• It downloads WDSNBP
• then it says pending request ID: 4
  
• Message from administrator:
  Configuration manager is looking for policy
• Contacting server: X.X.X.X
• TFTP download: smsboot\x64\abortpxe.com

and it stops

but at least were getting somewhere

 

[Juan M.]

nevermind.. checked the log and it wasnt added to the correct collection
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!

 

[Youssef Saad]

Good, resolved.
