Hi all, I've recently upgraded to SCCM SP2 and am trying to implement PXE. I have been able to install WDS on the SCCM site server which is running Windows 2K8 SP2, as well as the PXE service point. the pxecontrol log file shows successful PXE test: Successfully performed availability check against local computer. SMS_PXE_SERVICE_POINT 18/05/2010 20:58:33 4988 (0x137C) adding address to server list xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx SMS_PXE_SERVICE_POINT 18/05/2010 21:03:33 4988 (0x137C) adding address to server list 127.00.00.01 SMS_PXE_SERVICE_POINT 18/05/2010 21:03:33 4988 (0x137C) Sending availiability packet to: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx SMS_PXE_SERVICE_POINT 18/05/2010 21:03:33 4988 (0x137C) Sent 274 bytes to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:4011 SMS_PXE_SERVICE_POINT 18/05/2010 21:03:33 4988 (0x137C) PXE test request succeeded.

I have looked at the smspxe.log and found that there appears to be issues processing the boot image when it is distributed to the pxeDP Opening image file E:\RemoteInstall\SMSImages\SMSPKG\100000E7\boot.100000E7.wim smspxe 18/05/2010 21:01:08 6072 (0x17B8) Failed to read PXE settings.

Any help greatly received.

in your confirmgrsetup.log do you see that your boot images were successfully installed ? have you tried to reinstall SP2 for SCCM 2007 ? (or WAIK for that matter) My step by step SCCM Guides windows-noob on Twitter

This is a fully functioning (except OSD) production site so I could do with being able to correct this without having to rebuild or reinstall the site.

have you definetly distributed your boot images to dp's ? (both x86 and x64) My step by step SCCM Guides windows-noob on Twitter

the boot images from the central primary show up has distributed in the console and I can find the wim files if I browse to \\servername\smspxeimages$ it looks like something needs to happen when the boot images arrive, from the investigation i've done it looks like something uses c:\windows\temp\pxebootfiles and then folders in REMINST\SMSBoot should get populated but none of this seems to happen. The pxebootfiles folder was missing from c:\windows\temp so I've created this but still get the same errors in smspxe.log Opening image file E:\RemoteInstall\SMSImages\SMSPKG\10000001\boot.10000001.wim smspxe 19/05/2010 11:05:07 9980 (0x26FC) Failed to read PXE settings.

I know this has been open for a long time but I finally have a answer to share. Having spent ages with Premier support they have discovered some missing WMI tables on the site server for BCD and also reregistered the BCD dlls. One reboot later and we are up and running, bring on Windows 7 deployments!

Same here. Please provide a detailed step by step Tech_SR . I'm having this exact same issue.

Tech_SR....can you identify the exact steps that it took to fix this? We are having the exact same issue on a secondary SCCM site and we are unable to fix with anything else. We have tried the whole remove pxe and reinstall, refresh dp's....not working. I think we may have to apply the same fix as you have.

We had the same problem on a secondary SCCM server and I was able to fix by doing the following: On secondary server open cmd prompt at C:\Windows\System32 regsvr32 bcdprov.dll regsvr32 bcdsrv.dll cd wbem net stop /y winmgmt mofcomp bcd.mof net start winmgmt I then stopped and started the following sms services SMS Agent Host SMS_EXECUTIVE SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER and or probably would be good to reboot the server as well if possible.
