Hi Guys. Short story is that my machines are not booting through PXE. Error message is TFTP open Timeout. This may look like network error, but I have done almost all the troubleshooting which i could find on multiple forums. My clients and my PXE enabled DP is in same subnet. There is no firewall rules in place right now.
These machines were previously built using offline media. I can still re-image these machines by publishing TS as available to PXE and Config mgr client and then by initiating OS Image installation from within software center. However problem comes when I try to PXE boot these machines.
Following is sample extract of SMSPXE.log which gets created on DP.

As per network trace, clients send a TFTP read request to boot file location and there is acknowledgement.
Nothing happens post this.
I know it must be small step which i am missing somewhere and therefore would like to know what is the relation between device is in the database message in the log file above and "clear required PXE deployment" in SCCM. Will the PXE flag be still set eventhough the machine is built using offline media, resulting in the machines not opting to boot from PXE?
Any other suggestions is well appreciated as well.
