I volunteer at a Community Center that offers PCs for public use. Theres a single server (Server 2012 R2) and 20 PCs (W7 and W8.1) in the domain.

To support PXE boot and OS deployment, I'm using WDS and MDT 2013 (not MDT 2013 U1) on the server. All the PCs PXE boot and deploy without problem. But Hyper-V PXE boot times-out / no-response (have tried both Gen1 and Gen2 VMs). I believe (not 100% certain) PXE boots did work sometime past. But not working when i recently used Hyper-V again

At this point I removed then re-installed Hyper-V. I re-created VMs: Gen1 with a legacy network adapter and Gen2 with secure boot turned off. Both VMs get PXE timeouts.

Since PCs PXE boot without problem Im guessing the Hyper-V PXE problem is probably in WDS or networking? IDK. Heres a summary of config information. The zip file provided includes some snapshots and an ipconfig /all so you can also verify settings. Any help/advice appreciated.

• WDS server is running
• WDS PXE set to respond to all clients
• WDS shows no pending devices
• Network Virtual switch is created. Server only has one network adapter. ipconfig below with tunnel info removed but full output is in the zip
• VMS Gen1 and Gen2. Gen1 has a legacy network adapter. Gen2 has secure boot turned off
