SOLVED Unable to PXE boot w/ new Win10 image

[Kaylie]

Hi there,

Weird issue. I have a new win 10 image that I want to deploy...updated all my drivers and boot image, yada yada. The image will deploy by going through the software center, but not PXE...it gets stuck on 'contacting sccm server.' If I test my old/current windows 8.1 image, it WILL PXE boot on the same machine (and all machines) without issue. It's not a PXE issue, all my settings have been in place for years. How can I fix PXE for this image?? What am I overlooking?

Huzzahh! I found the answer I needed shortly after posting this. For any who may run into this issue:
When you create a new boot image, you have to PXE enable it-news to me.
Right click on new boot image>properties>data source>check "deploy this boot image from the PXE-enabled distribution point"
As soon as I checked this, I PXE booted the laptop (with win 10 image) and boom, it picked up the task sequence and it's imaging as we speak. No idea how to close this discussion, but it's solved for me. Hopefully this info helps someone in the future.
