Hi All,

I have some weird issue in which i am trying to image Esprimo C720 desktop.

It is working perfectly fine if i create a standalone image via USB and build it.

But when i try to PXE boot the same device, it takes ip and boots up after windows screen it restarts. I thought it wud be network drivers and i have updated the same in winpe but still it doesnt work.

I feel Esprimo C720 is not supported for PXE boot. Can any one advice me if you wud have come across this

Pratap,

Have you added the storage drivers also to the boot image?

Hi,

I recommend you check the log file smsts.log.

This can be found in one of several locations depending on the progress of the build and the architecture of the OS:

• Windows PE before HDD format: x:\windows\temp\smstslog\smsts.log
• Windows PE after HDD format: x:\smstslog\smsts.log and copied to c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
• Full version Windows before SCCM agent installed: c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
• Full version Windows after SCCM agent installed: c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
• Full version Windows (x64) after SCCM agent installed: c:\windows\sysWOW64\ccm\logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
• After Task Sequence has finished running: c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\smsts.log
• After Task Sequence has finished running (x64): c:\windows\sysWOW64\ccm\logs\smsts.log

Enable command-line (f8) support on your boot image, start pxe boot and as soon as you see windows -screen hit f8 and:

• type ipconfig, do you get ipaddress, if not, add network drivers of your hw model to your boot image
• type diskpart -> list disk, if you don't see any disks, add storage controller drivers of your hw model to your boot image
