PXE boot not working, says 'no advertisements found' in SMSPXE.log

Question

Hi,

I have SCCM 2103 in our network. UEFI PXE boot was working until 2 weeks back. But now it's throwing error 0x102. When checked SMSPXE.log, I see 'no advertisements found' message, which is strange. Only change in server was installing September 2021 security updates. Googling didn't help much.

Anyone having the same issue? I'll try removing last updates and see, but would like to know if there is a solution without removing them.

Regards,

Answer 1

Hi. I had the same problem. The solution in my case was that I had not defined any bounding groups. The subnet of the Active Directory must be entered in these. And in the References tab, the site server must be entered. Hope this helps someone.

Answer 2

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

'No advertisements found' generally means that the device is not target of your task sequence deployment. Do you want unknown computer support? Or Do you have a deployment linked to your the target collection? If possible, please create a new test collection that only contains the device, and deploy your task sequence to the new collection to have a try. Similar thread for your reference:
