Boot Image Selection on a PXE Service Point with Multiple Boot Images
I have a PSP (PXE Service Point) with 3 boot images. The normal SCCM x86 and 2 boot images created using the MDT Wizard. One MDT boot image support unknown computer and the other one does not.
When I initiate a PXE boot from an unknown computer, I want the MDT boot image with unknown computer support to take control and create the appropriate computer entry in SCCM before SCCM perform its correlation between the computer entry and the OSD advertisements.
Unfortunately, I have found no mechanism to select which boot image WDS will choose upon the first F12 key press. Is there a way to get prompted for the boot image to select on the initial PXE boot?

you could change DHCP 067 option from a specific scope to something like Boot\[MDT boot image name]\wdsnbp.com but in this case all computers from that scope will use the boot image you secify... Maybe the guys with more experience will have a better idea....
- The DHCP scope trick you mention is one alternative but I can accomplish the same thing by having only a single PXE boot image
What I would like to learn is whether there is a way to configure WDS to prompt for the boot image to load.
Though I am not sure on WDS part, but with SCCM you can do it by making two optional advertisement and it will wait for you to promot. I use the same way to choose between XP and Vista OS for installation using PXE bootsAbout prompting for boot images to loade..
You just have to disable PSP, and then add a slightly Modified boot.wim to your WDS.. take a look this guide for some instructions.. http://kongkuba1.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!EEFF1607E296E5AB!311.entry (look at the “Create the SCCM Boot.wim” part

- I know this is an old post, but I'm still looking at a solution for this with SCCM. It looks like you are doing what I'm trying to accomplish, but even though I've made two optional advertisements available to the machine I'm trying to PXE, it always boots to the same one each time and never prompts? What version of SCCM are you using?
