    NETSH 
    NETHSH>DHCP server \\nameofserver 
    add optiondef 60 PXEClient String 0 comment=”Option added for PXE Support” 
    set optionvalue 60 STRING PXEClient

  • Hi,

     

    From the problem description, I understand that you have installed the DHCP server on another machine.

     

    ·         If DHCP is installed on a server that is located in a different subnet, you will need to do one of the following:

     

    ·         (Recommended) Configure your router to forward broadcast packets. All DHCP broadcasts by client computers on UDP port 67 should be forwarded directly to both the DHCP server and the Windows Deployment Services server. Also, all traffic on UDP port 4011 from the client computers to the Windows Deployment Services server should be routed appropriately (these requests direct traffic, not broadcasts, to the server).

     

    ·         Add DHCP options 66 and 67. Option 66 should be set to the Windows Deployment Services server, and option 67 should be set to boot\x86\wdsnbp.com. For more information, see Managing Network Boot Programs (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=115304).

     

    I hope the information provided above is helpful to you. Towards the detailed information about the Windows Deployment Services, there is a link for your reference:
