Hi All. I've configured a WDS server on Server 2008 R2. I've set the response policy to respond to all, I've configured DHCP correctly but when I do a PXE boot from some clients PC `s get the Following error, others works fine. PXE-T04: Access Violation PXE-E36: Error received from TFTP server PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM Machines with trouble are HP branded PC`s Thanks

Hi Gvintik, does the tftp server itself work correctly? f.e is it possible to transmit/receive a file from a tftp client to/from server? Perhaps there is a firewall enabled between clients and server that could block the necessary data traffic? Best regards Thomas Lambertz

Hi, Access Violation could be caused by DHCP. You may need to configure IP Helper setting on the router or configure DHCP scope options as appropriate. Here I would like to share the following similar issues: PXE T04 access violation http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/configmgrosd/thread/26af0eb0-08c6-453b-9edf-86ed9ae26ee7 Server 2008 Windows Deployment Services TFTP Error PXE-T04 PXE-E36 http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserversetup/thread/e39e4c8c-ed48-460b-901b-aebf1f1f8d95 Best Regards DalePlease 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.

Please i need help i am a newbie at this just trying my hands on learning stuff on my won. i configured WDS and Microsoft DHCP on Windows 2008 r2. I also have a separate laptop running virtual box where i have installed windows 7 hp and i want to capture the image on the WDS server. Every time i try a PXE boot on the win 7 image on virtual box i get an error saying "TFTP error 4 Access violation". All the solutions i have seen are referring to using Linux DHCP servers but my DHCP server is running on the same machine as WDS . So its a Microsoft DHCP server. I am thinking there is something wrong with my configuration for WDS please help anybody? My virtual box settings i have the network settings configured as bridged adapter. unfortunately like i said the solutions i have seen refer to the same problem but the scenario in those cases show the use of an external DHCP server such as a Linux box or Cisco. In my own case i am using the DHCP server on my Windows 2008 r2 so i dont think i need to configure IP Helper. Another thing i tried was doing a TFTP from command line to the WDS server and i got the same error message i got during the pxe boot. See below errors i got during pxe boot from virtual box and the error i got when i tried tftp from command line in windows.

what`s in servers log?it`s look like some permissions problem...
