Sccm server migrated from on premises to Azure cloud now when i pxe boot a device it gets stuck on Waiting for Approval

Question

We recently migrated our sccm server from on premises to Azure Cloud , everything was working perfectly before the move , since migration PXE boot client from LAN is not working , but we setup IP helper on our switches with our sccm server's ip address , our dhcp .

Since that change on the switch , i am now able to pxe boot and it sees our sccm server and starts the process then it gets to the part of waiting for approval and it is just stuck on that stage and does not move any further.

I have checked our smspxe.log and it does see the device and all our task sequences are available as I have set up on the distribution point in the pxe tab with the following

Enable PXE support for clients - ticked

Allow this distribution point to respond to incoming PXE requests - ticked

Enable unknown computer support - ticked

Enable a PXE responder without Windows Deployment services - ticked

Require a password when pxe boot - is selected

User device affinity - Do Not use user device affinity

Respond to PXE requests on all network interfaces.

I have tried almost everything i can think off and it still gets stuck.

Answer 1

Based on everything that I have seen, PXE boot does NOT work in Azure. https://www.reddit.com/r/SCCM/comments/v5rf5h/pxe_booting_a_physical_workstation_using_a_azure/
