SCCM 2012 SP1 Can't Boot from PXE 0xC0000001

Here's my environment:

SCCM 2012 SP1 installed on Server 2008 R2 in a Hyper-V environment

Brand new boot images created after SP1 upgrade using Windows ADK

The virtual is using 1 network adapter (the legacy network adapter has been disabled, as a trobleshooting step)

PXE and WDS have been removed and recreated numerous times

This has never worked since implementation of SCCM 2012 (7/2012)

Attempted on multiple physical clients and a virtual client

The boot images work fine when setup as USB boot media

The network boot always finds the SCCM server as this screen shows:

Then it proceeds to loading the \SMSboot\boot.sdi. Some times it fails right here other times it proceeds to \SMSImages\MFC0008D\BootImagex86.MFC0008D.wim. Either way it gets a bit into the progress bar but always fails to this screen:

The smspxe.log shows the following:

At this point I'm out of ideas. I've searched all the forums tried just about everything I can think of except for settings DHCP options or IP Helpers. I've declined to do that because it appears to find the server just fine. Also the client, DHCP, and the SCCMPXE Point are all on the same subnet.

Help me Obi-(technet)-wan you're my only hope!

It almost looks as though you don't have all the required drivers in your WinPE image.  As you said it was a new boot image, is there a chance that you missed a driver?

Well that's what I thought also but when I make a TS Boot Media ISO using the x86 and x64 boot images, and xfer those to a USB stick that loads fine. Even a brand new boot image made from ADK without any additional drivers can boot my virtual client if I turn it into a TS Boot Media ISO and boot it from the virtual CD Drive. I haven't tried to load any drivers through WDS because everyone says to leave that alone.

April 10th, 2013 6:21pm

You're getting the response from the WDS service on the PXE Service Point, so I don't think it's DHCP issue.  

Do you ever fully download the boot.wim?  Is it the exact same boot.wim on your PXE Service Point as the ISO that you boot from?  That is, have you re-distributed to the PXE distribution point? 

I also see a lot of access denied errors in your distmgr.log, you might want to double check your admin rights for site servers.

It's all the same. The Primary Site Server is also our only DP. When I update it is when I get those weird errors in the distmgr.log. I also get that error in the smspxe.log that the image needs to be updated, but that's like right after I update it. I've tried unchecking the PXE option on the DP, waited while it removes WDS, and deleted the remote install folder. Then check the option for PXE and watch it all come back and update the distribution of the images I get those same errors in the distmgr.log. It's like it's some weird rights error with the Remote Install folder but I can't seem to get past it.

April 10th, 2013 8:06pm

You should have a directory: C:\RemoteInstall\SMSImages\MFC0008D  and in that directory you should have a file named WinPE.MFC0008D.wim 

Also, the RemoteInstall folder should have Admins/System Full right down the tree.  If that's not working, you could try going with Everyone Full.  

Do you have UAC disabled? It might be messing with things if it isn't.

That directory exists, however my file is called BootImagex86.MFC0008D.wim because that's the name of my boot image series (x86 and x64).

I disabled UAC and added everyone with full control at the NTFS level on the remoteinstall folder. To do that I had to take ownership because TrustedInstaller was owner for some reason on some of the subfolders (SMSTemp and SMSTempBootFiles).

After doing that and cleaning out the SMSTemp and SMSTempBootFiles and redistributing the x86 and x64 boot images and verifying the drivers were injected, I still made no progress failing at the same point.

April 10th, 2013 11:29pm

Are you using only x86 boot image?

have you distributed x64 boot image?

do you have task sequence available with both x86 and x64?

what have you written in option 67?

April 11th, 2013 1:49pm

I am using the x86 and x64 boot images. Both up to date and loaded with drivers.

There is a task sequence for unknown computers and I've specifically added some test machines to the task sequences.

We don't have option 67 setup in DHCP. We've never needed it because it always seems to find the server and load boot.sdi and sometimes the wim but always fails at that point, not before. This has led us to believe it's not a DHCP issue.

The SMSPXE.log never seems to get past "looking for bootimage (bootimage name)"

Here are the logs after I removed and reinstalled the PXE role on the DP (notice the errors relating to not being able to find wimgapi.dll, and Failed to copy the needed boot binaries from the boot image) To fix the wimgapi.dll error I've tried running the wimgapi.msi file in the Config Manager folder in program files, no change. The second error I've tried to fix by manually mounting the wim, no change.

How much memory on the computer you are booting?

There was a similar issue reported here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmanagerosd/thread/cea3eedf-1a36-43d4-ad8f-96134aa9386a

Perhaps it's the network card selection you have on your VM? 

April 25th, 2013 3:21pm

My issue also :)

Just imported the LAN Driver of the laptop in question, added it  to my Boot Image and and all works great :)

Agreed, I would check here. Had the same problem recently with vmxnet3 not playing well with PXE.

Definitely not a driver issue as drivers do not come into play until the boot wim has been completely downloaded, mounted and booted into WinPE.

Hi All,

Firstly, apologies for dragging this up again after so long but we are also experiencing this issue.  In our SCCM 2012 R2 environment it occurs when we try to increase the TFTP block size for PXE booting.  We are trying this because our boot.wim (approx 400mb) takes 10+ minutes to download when using the default TFTP block size setting.

To increase the TFTP block size we are adding the "RamDiskTFTPBlockSize" registry subkey to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\DP on our DP/PXE server.  We have tried multiple values of 16384, 8192 and 4096 for this subkey but all entries result in the issue detailed in the original post on this thread.  The details of this registry subkey are taken from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968718/en-us.  Although this KB is specifically for SCCM 2007, it has been confirmed as still being valid for SCCM 2012, including in our testlab.

Our gut feeling is that this problem is related to the MTU in ESXi where SCCM is hosted, however it also appears the client NIC could be a contributing factor.

Has anyone else experienced this when altering the TFTP block size?  Would greatly appreciate any info...

We have the same issue no matter what size we use. Did you ever find a fix for this?

Hi all!

I was also experiencing similar problems with my PXE on SCCM 2012. I realize that this behavior, only happend on Network speed at 100 Mbps. Not on Gigabits segments. We have IP phones where all PC are connected at 100 Mbps, quite a drawback. So I deleted the  "RamDiskTFTPBlockSize" entry from the registry and restarted the WDS service on the server. It worked right away. But the download speed was slow, just before I added the  "RamDiskTFTPBlockSize" value to 16384. What I di, I try the  "RamDiskTFTPBlockSize" key again, but this time with a value to 8192. This fixed my problem. TFTP download is fast on 100 Mbps. Bether then before. Don't forget to restart the WDS service, each time you change the values or delete the entry.

Hope this help you!

Hi all

In my case the problem was easy

NAC was implemented on the network blocked TFTP

added exlusion and bam it worked

Have you enabled that the boot image should be deployed from a PXE Enabled Distribution Point?

http://www.danielclasson.com/dont-forget-this-step-when-you-want-clients-to-pxe-boot-using-configuration-manager-2012/

Is the boot image in the RemoteInstall folder on the server hosting the DP role?

Try to remove boot image from DP and add it again. Restart WDS server after that.
October 24th, 2014 10:04am

Hello

I have the same problem. I try resolve removing all packages with errors in the DP, delete and re crate boot image and add necesary drivers. finally re crate task sequence but the problem continue.after I'm reviewing the network segmentation, because I found out that my sccm VLAN is different from the client. I change the network port and EUREKA.

I know this is an older post but the problem seems to come back on us from time to time.

I had a the same problem in my PXE environment.  Server 2012 R2 and Server 2008 R2 running SCCM 2012 R2.  This issue came up where we could not image a certain model of Dell laptop.  The issue was initially handed to our network guys although it was dropped when we found that we were able to get it working from a different switch port.  (FYI all the ports were configured the same.) We let the issue go for a while and used that port with an unman-aged switch attached to get multiple images going at the same time.

Since then, the network crew has changed leaving the issue to come back at me to investigate deeper.

I started playing with the TFTP settings as suggested by others in this thread.  Changed from 16384 to 8192 to 4096 rebooting my PXE server in between.  The last setting of 4096 got it working again.  The strangest part is that it seemed to only be affecting this one model of Laptop.

Thanks Big Air - reducing RamDiskTFTPBlockSize fixed this problem when we were imaging some older laptops. Cheers!

Same issue here, running sccm2012 R2 CU3, cannot boot into PXE in a VM on VMware plateform.  Unless TFTP block size is tempered with in registry of SCCM 2012 R2 CU3.  What is the solution?
