Can't deinstall PXE
I am having a little trouble getting my WDS and PXE Service Point to work. We setup the PSP a while back, but we had an incident that
caused files and folders to become corrupted or destroyed. This includs the PXE distribution point. I can remove the PXE Service Point from SCCM, but the setup logs does not show that is has been deinstalled, we also have the PXE Distribution point which I
am not sure how to deinstall. I would like to remove the PXE stuff so I can have it reinstall and hopefully fix my issues. Does anyone know how to manually kick of a deinstall of PXE for SCCM? A lot of the other post say to remove the service point and check
PXESetup.log but nothing appears in the log (except for the install a couple months back).

Hi,
You can try to do a ConfigMgr. Site Reset (will reinstall the site components), and the remove the PXE point from the ConfigMgr. console.Kent Agerlund | http://scug.dk/ | The Danish community for System Center products

I've used following command in extreme cases on the site system to manually initiate uninstallation of the role:
ROLESETUP.EXE /deinstall /siteserver:SERVERNAME SMSPXE
SERVERNAME is the name of the server with troubled PSP. You can find rolesetup.exe in "SMS installation folder\Bin\i386\". To locate installation folder have a look at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Identification\ registry key and "Installation
Directory" value.
Keep your eye on pxeMSI.log to see how it goes.

Kent,
Will the site reset mess with anything we have setup in SCCM?

This thread probably covers everything about site reset:
