Have you reviewed and followed smspxe.log on the PSP during these boots to verify server side activity? WDS and the PSP have no technical issue with what you've described so I would also verify that the traffic is being properly delivered using a network sniffer.Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com | Twitter @JasonSandys

Are the PC's mentioned all in the same VLAN/subnet? and are you using DHCP scope options or IP-helpers for PXE boot?My blogs: Henk's blog and Virtuall | Follow Me on: Twitter | View My Profile on: LinkedIn

Is the error message PXE Boot aborted. Booting to next device? It may occur when the client is trying to download the boot image. I suggest you make sure that you checked the option Download content from distribution point and run locally for the advertisement of the deployment. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680566.aspx 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.

Thank you all for the respons. I was able to get the first to boot with no proble. The second one had to be moved to Operating system deployement which freed up its MAC to allow it to be reimaged. For the thrid one I checked the log under system status>Site status>etc and SMS_PEX_Service_Point I Verified unknown device support was added in R3, and then reapplied R3 on the SCCm server and the system booted successfully. I guess it was just user error. Thank you all for you input! Phil
