Hi All, Ive added the pxe roll to my secondary site but get the following status message warnings. Any ideas on a solution? I cannot start the WDS service at all it just hangs & errors. Ive read it could be a permissions isue with connecting to the primary site DB but if it was wouldnt my seconday site have loads of errors as more the PXe will require the connection.? The secondar site was working without errors till I added PXE roll. The SMS PXE Service Point failed to read and configure the registry keys necessary for this component.Possible cause: The registry information is not available yet. Solution: Restart the WDS Service. The SMS PXE Service Point failed to Initialize the Database Connection. The SMS PXE Service Point failed to initialize the WDS PXE Provider. Check Previous Messages for more error information. XE Control Manager detected PXE service point is not responding to PXE requests. The error is 16389. Possible cause: PXE service point is not started or not responding. Solution: Manually restart the PXE service point. Possible cause: WDS service is not responding. Solution: Manually restart the WDS service.

What happens if you set the WDS service to startup type "manual", reboot the server, wait until every service is up and running? Would WDS start then manually?

Hi Torsten, Ive set to manual & tried starting the serivces 5 mins after the server has been rebooted but get 'Service-Specific error 16389'.

Anything in the eventlog? Or the WDS logs (there's a kb article that talks about enabling verbose logging).

Hi Torsten, Yes, there is errors in event viewer on the server. See below. Were I have installed PXe roll several times. ive got 6 PXE certificates with 5 blocked & 1 unblocked. The working cert is avalible till 2011. Event ID 265 An error occurred while trying to initialize provider SMSPXE. Since the provider is marked as critical, the Windows Deployment Services server will be shutdown.

Ive got this SCCm Secondary server on a 2008 R2 VM which is on the same physical box as the DC which has DNS/DHCP but this is on its own VM. do I need to configure the port 67 thing even though they are two different servers but on the same box? WDS logging wont work till WDS is configured. PXE roll is meant to configure it. Server State: OS version: 6.1 WDS operational mode: Not Configured An error occurred while trying to execute the command. Error Code: 0xC1030136 Error Description: Windows Deployment Services or Remote Installation Services i s not configured on the server. If the server is running an operating system lat er than Windows Server 2003, this feature is only available after configuring Wi ndows Deployment Services.

Hi, As the WDS service is not starting, please take the following steps: 1) Uninstall the PXE Service Point. Monitor the PXESetup.log and make sure it uninstalls correctly. 2) Once the PXE Service Point has successfully uninstalled, uninstall WDS. Once the WDS uninstall is complete, reboot the server. 3) Once the server is rebooted, rename the RemoteInstall folder on the root level of all drives. Make sure to check all drives and to rename all of the RemoteInstall folders. Not all drives may contain a RemoteInstall folder and usually only one of the drives has a RemoteInstall folder. When renaming the folder, it may break an existing share. It is ok to go ahead and break this share. 4) Reinstall WDS. Once WDS is finished reinstalling, reboot the server. If prompted for media or source file location, make sure the source files that are being pointed to are at the same service pack level that Windows Server 2003 is at. If they are not at the same service pack level, the installation will succeed but WDS will not be able to be properly setup or configured. 5) Once the server has restarted, in the SCCM Admin Console, add the PXE Service Point role. 6) Monitor the PXESetup.log and make sure that installation was successfully.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Ive reinstalled the server, Setup Webdav & AD permissions, reinstalled SCCM, installed WDS, installed PXe roll & same errors. Im presuming the secondary site should be able to connect to the primary site SQL Database without me having to set any permissions on it. I have heard though later SQL versions you have to add accounts to SQL. Could this possibly be my problem? Secondary sites work fine its only when I add PXE rol it complains about not being able to set SQL reg keys Cannot connect to DB.
