I'm try hard to get DHCP and PXE to paly nice on the same box. I tried the registry change but it didn't seem to work. I tried to run " WDSUTIL /Set-Server /UseDHCPPorts:No /DHCPOption60:Yes " But I get an error: C:\Documents and Settings\jenkindladmin>WDSUTIL /Set-Server /UseDHCPPorts:No /DH CPOption60:Yes Windows Deployment Services Management Utility [Version 6.0.6000.16386] Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. An error occurred while trying to execute the command. Error Code: 0xC1030104 Error Description: The Windows Deployment Services server role has not been conf igured on the server. I've tried removing PXE but that does not seem to have worked. Can someone direct me to what I'm doing wrong? I've read tons of posts all pointing to this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680753.aspx

does the following help ? http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/93-windows-deployment-services-wds/ My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady

no it doesn't unfortunatly.

I figured out the problem. The instructions appear to be for Windows 2008 maybe. On Windows 2003 I had to add option 60. It's confusing because option 60 isn't available in the GUI. Apparently disappeared around Windows 2000. I used the netsh commands and everything started working. C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh netsh>dhcp netsh>dhcp>server \\<server_machine_name> netsh dhcp>add optiondef 60 PXEClient String 0 comment=PXE support netsh dhcp>set optionvalue 60 STRING PXEClient netsh dhcp>exit I applied the registry cahnge: I'm not sure if the registry setting for PXE was necessary. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WDSServer\Providers\WDSPXE Set the registry value to: UseDHCPPorts = 0

hi, In My SCCM i was trying to enable OSD .but unfortunatly i am facing some issue in PXE BOOT in the DHCP server option . so that i reffed so many articles for finally i got your reply it was quite confusing in the 3 step kindly please specify the step 3 (server \\<server_machine_name>) what should i give first entry 1)C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh 2)netsh>dhcp 3)netsh>dhcp>server \\<server_machine_name> 4)netsh dhcp>add optiondef 60 PXEClient String 0 comment=PXE support 5)netsh dhcp>set optionvalue 60 STRING PXEClient 6)netsh dhcp>exit i tried this much C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>netsh netsh>dhcp netsh dhcp>server\\drdo-qqluvgdi0p The following command was not found: server\\drdo-qqluvgdi0p. netsh dhcp>cabsint\\drdo-qqluvgdi0p The following command was not found: cabsint\\drdo-qqluvgdi0p netsh dhcp>cabsint\\drdo-qqluvgdi0p The following command was not found: cabsint\\drdo-qqluvgdi0p netsh dhcp>server\\192.168.1.65 The following command was not found: server\\192.168.1.65. netsh dhcp>server\\192.168.1.65 The following command was not found: server\\192.168.1.65. netsh dhcp>\\192.168.1.65 The following command was not found: \\192.168.1.65. netsh dhcp>

Sounds like the server isn't found. What happens when you ping drdo-qqluvgdi0p? Just to verify did you put a space between the server and the \\? "netsh dhcp>server \\drdo...."David Jenkins
