I am currently fighting the good fight to get PXE enabled on our current SCCM Server. The push back I am getting is our server team is a bit worried that the IO to the server and traffic would be to great for it. Does anyone have any stats on OSD Deployment or know a good way that i can prove that PXE and OSD Deployment in SCCM will work find on our current server. Also, is imaging on a seperate box going to take an install of SCCM on the server?"You can't fix stupid!"

using Windows Server's performance monitor, you can actually run some predifined data collection (using data sets) here's some info about that from Technet http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb932169.aspx you should probably focus on cpu load/disk activity and network load, all are included and you can customise the data gathering they have their own forum right here if you are running server 2008 or higher, you can lessen the load by enabling Multicasting cheers niall My step by step SCCM Guides I'm on Twitter > ncbrady

PXE in ConfigMgr only delivers the boot image. Nothing more. All content is still delivered from your DP(s) just like with boot media or adverts. So you're only adding a trivial amount of overhead: boot images are usually around 150MB.Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys
