You need to specify DHCP options 66 & 67 so that WinPE can locate the boot images.
Take a look at the section DHCP Options in Gerry Hampson's blog

The installation of WDS is performed by distmgr so examine distmgr.log

It doesn't happen very often but occasionally I've had to install WDS manually (not configure - just verify the correct folder structure) before enabling PXE on a DP.

Hi,
Can you see the shared folders on the local drive?
Get access to SMS_DP$\sms\logs\smsdpprov.log.

Did you try the fix I suggested?

Thanks, i did and it kid of work but not completly. I removed WDS unchecked PXE and rebooted. Then checked off PXE and it istalled.
The problem now is that when they try they get PXE-E53: No boot filename recieved, i see under the smsimage folder the boot images.

Have you specified the boot file name in your DHCP options?

Not sure what you are meaning with the above. I ahve had the admin in that location add the IP helper-addressFriday, September 5, 2014 2:43 PM

You should really be using IP Helper addresses for PXE and not DHCP Scope Options as they are not recommended by MS.Wednesday, November 2, 2016 7:48 PM
