OSD - Network Boot
OSD - Network Boot
- When I do OSD using Network Boot, do I need to do any configuration on the DHCP server?

- Hi! Do you mean that you are using PXE boot? If so yes you need to set option 66 and 67 on your DHCP server. And depending on your network setup you may need more, like for example IP helpers(dhcp relay).
- setting DHCP options depends on a number of factors, including where the DHCP is located in relation to the WDS server so you may not need to set them at all depending on your setup,
so how are your servers setup ?
my SCCM step by step Guides > http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1064 - Hi,
DHCP is on 1 server, SCCM, WDS, PXE Service Point are on 1 server. In this case, what are the things need to be configured? - in that scenario you will have to configure Option 66 which will contain the ip or FQDN of your WDS server which holds the PXE Service Point role in SCCM
cheers

I have set the option 66(myServerIp), option 67 (RemoteInstall\SMSBoot\x64\pxeboot.com), for the option 67 correct? I see the x64 folder contains nothing. After set all these, my client still failed to have pxe boot.
IP helper is for what? - are you absolutely sure that folder contains nothing ? browse it locally on the server to be sure, mine is like so, please also verify that your WDS service is actually started...

Yes,
Mine really empty. Does it mean my setup/configuration is incorrect? - is the WDS service started ?
are there any errors in your SCCM system status/component status logs relating to PXE ?

Yes, the WDS Service is started. No error in my SCCM system status/component status log.
