How to fix PXE Boot from SCCM2303 Win2022 Server

Question

SMSPXE.logSet up new SCCM 2303 Win2022 Server to replace old SCCM server on the network.

I followed these guides to troubleshoot the issue myself:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/mem/configmgr/os-deployment/troubleshoot-pxe-boot-issues

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/mem/configmgr/os-deployment/advanced-troubleshooting-pxe-boot

Still getting PXE-E53 Error. My sccm server sees the attempt of my test VM to PXE boot but still getting the error:

"No boot filename received PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM Operating System Not Found"

Ive attached the SMSPXE log and screenshot for review.

Answer 1

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

1,From the smspxe.log, we can see "no advertisements found", please make sure that you have deployed your task sequences to your device collection or the default All unknown computer collection.

2,Is your PXE server (PXE-enabled DP) in different subnet/VLAN with your DHCP server/client device? If yes, please correctly configure your IP helper. For a PXE server to respond to a PXE request, the request must be able to transverse routers to communicate with PXE servers on other subnets. Therefore, having the PXE server in the routers IP helper table helps make sure that the DHCP packets are forwarded to the PXE server so the PXE server can respond correctly.

Refer to: You want to PXE Boot? Don't use DHCP Options.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon

Answer 2

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

1,Please check distmgr.log and smspxe.log and make sure PXE is successfully enabled on your new DP.

Understand PXE boot in Configuration Manager

2,Each PXE server should have an entry in the IP helper tables. That way, all the PXE servers will get the client boot discovery and request, and only the PXE that needs to respond will respond. The configuration is like this:

IP helper-address <IP address of DHCP server>

IP helper-address <IP address of PXE server>

IP forward-protocol UDP 4011

Refer to: IP Helper-Address Configuration for PXE Boot

3,You can provide the logs for further troubleshooting.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
