EVERYTIME I reboot our SCCM server we are unable to image using PXE Boot. We are able to image from an in Windows advertisement however. Why does this continually happen? Below are the steps we take each time this error happens. Any help is appreciated, I am tired of this annoyance whenever we reboot. - Attempting to PXE boot; received the following error message - - - TFTP Download : smsboot\x64\pxeboot.com - Rebooted the server - Completed the following steps - taking the information from the log: Unable to delete folder C:\Windows\TEMP\PXEBootFiles\ (0x80070091) - opened Explorer and tried deleting the folder from Temp, i was unable - Stopped the "Windows Deployment Services Server" (WDSServer) service - tried deleting the folder again and was unable - it said I needed "TrustedInstaller" permissions - Modified the security permissions for the folder - - Changed Ownership to be "Administrators" - - Changed Administrators group to have Full access - - Forced the changes to all subfolders and files overwriting - Deleted the folder - Started the "Windows Deployment Services Server" (WDSServer) service - - the PXEBootFiles directory was recreated when the service started - I am now normally able to PXE Boot into the SCCM system - Sometimes I am stil unable to PXE boot - - - Went to the following folder - D:\RemoteInstall\SMSBoot\x64 - only contained the abortpxe file - - - Advised to copy the following folder from within SCCM "D:\RemoteInstall\Boot\x64" to D:\RemoteInstall\SMSBoot\x64 - Upon completion of copy we were successfully able to image. I am going to look into what this one [ http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/90308be3-81bc-462b-a014-a10e48452354 ] says, but does anyone have any insight for me?Find this post helpful?

What version (SP level) are you running? Note that when you run a TS using a direct advert from Windows it doesn't use PXE at all so the two are completely unrelated.Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/default.aspx | Twitter @JasonSandys

I was aware of that they were separate (PXE and advertisement), but I didn't make that clear. Add/Remove Programs shows: Microsoft Configuration Manager 2007 Primary Site Microsoft Configuration Manager 2007 R2 (4.00.6355.1000) Help About System Center Configuration Manager says 4.00.6487.2000 I think that means we are SP2?Find this post helpful?

Tried removing the PXE by right clicking the pxe.msi and choosing Uninstall. Didn't seem to do anything, but then I went into SCCM and right clicked the PXE service point and chose Delete. Monitoring the PXESetup.log I got: <01-20-2011 09:50:27> ==================================================================== <01-20-2011 09:50:27> SMSPXE Setup Started.... <01-20-2011 09:50:27> Parameters: C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~1\bin\i386\ROLESE~1.EXE /deinstall /siteserver:BASD-SCCM SMSPXE <01-20-2011 09:50:27> Deinstalling the SMSPXE <01-20-2011 09:50:27> No versions of SMSPXE are installed. Returning Success. <01-20-2011 09:58:14> Then I attempted to reinstall since it said it was actually already gone. I did so by adding the Role back to the server using the SCCM console.

OK, so I completed the following steps laid out here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/8677d9f3-ea24-4586-94b3-80eda4bb8a18/ Remove the SMS PXE role. Look at the PXESetup.log file to verify that the uninstall is complete and successful. Uninstall the WDS server. Reboot the machine. Re-install the WDS server, but "do not configure it". Do nothing at all other than installing WDS. Add the SMS PXE role. Look at the PXESetup.log file to verify that the installation is complete and successful. Add the boot images to the SMS PXE DP share. Look at the distmgr.log file to verify that the replication of the boot image to the DP is complete and successful. Try booting a PXE client. I am now back to the normal SCCM PXE and not WDS, but I am still getting TFTP error. May need to just do the steps I mentioned to get things working and then continue this...

Bump! Anyone? This is a very annoying and inconvenient issue. By chance would this be resolved with the R3 release of configuration manager...I think that may have been released...

I can now reboot and everything keeps running. From the article: In total there should only be four folders within the RemoteInstall folder as follows: SMSBoot SMSIMAGES SMSTemp Stores If additional folders exist in the RemoteInstall folder, such as: Boot Images Mgmt Templates Tmp WdsClientUnattend Mine contained the extra folders. Last time when I reinstalled I did not delete/rename the RemoteInstall folder. This time I did rename it as the article explains and it worked great. Renaming or deleting the RemoteInstall folder seemed to be the key. Also, on Step 3 of "How To Properly Install And Set Up A New Instance Of WDS And A PXE Service Point" it says, "3. If prompted to do so after WDS has finished installing, reboot the server." I was not prompted, but I ignored this and rebooted anyway. The first time I did not reboot after WDS installed and the RemoteInstall folder was not recreated after adding the PXE Service point back to SCCM. Second try I made sure to reboot anyway and everything worked out great. Thanks so much for your suggestions all! Find this post helpful? Does this post answer your question?
