Hi,
Did you run the command in this artile:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/stufox/archive/2008/07/31/configuration-manager-pxe-service-point-errors.aspx
If you did and still failed, please try following steps:
1) Uninstall the PXE Service Point. Monitor the PXESetup.log and make sure it uninstalls correctly.
2) Once the PXE Service Point has successfully uninstalled, uninstall WDS. Once the WDS uninstall is complete, reboot the server.
3) Once the server is rebooted, rename the RemoteInstall folder on the root level of all drives. Make sure to check all drives and to rename all of the RemoteInstall folders. Not all drives may contain a RemoteInstall folder and usually only one of the drives
has a RemoteInstall folder. When renaming the folder, it may break an existing share. It is OK to go ahead and break this share.
4) Normally, WDS should not be configured. However in some situations, some basic configuration does need to be done in the WDS console to properly create the RemoteInstall folder and get the WDS service started and working. The following steps outline what
needs to be done. However, these steps NORMALLY should not be taken and should only be followed as a last resort when all other attempts and all of the above steps have been taken.
5) Open the WDS console.
6) Expand the tree under Servers so that the ConfigMgr 2007 server where the PXE Service Point role is being installed can be seen.
7) Right click on the server name and choose "Configure Server".
8) In the Welcome Page of the Windows Deployment Services Configuration Wizard, click on Next.
9) In the Remote Installation Folder Location, change the drive letter of the default path to the drive on the server with the most space on it as this is the drive that the ConfigMgr 2007 PXE Service Point install will try and use. Click on Next.
10) In the PXE Server Initial Settings, under "Choose the appropriate answer policy below:", choose "Respond to all (known and unknown) client computers". Do not check the "For unknown clients, notify administrator and respond after approval." box. Click
on Finish.
11) Uncheck the "Add images to the Windows Deployment Server now" check box and click on Finish.
12) Close the WDS console.
13) Restart the server.
14) Once the server has restarted, verify that the WDS service has automatically started. If it has not, try to manually start the service and verify that it starts.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
