    Hi Martin,The bootimages should only be placed on the SMSPXEIMAGES$ Distribution Point. There is no need to place the bootimage on the standard Distribution Point.Gr D.

    Hi D. Aartman. This article was written for ConfigMgr 2007 and back then you were required to also put the boot images at any standard and branch DPs as well. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb932177.aspx)

    Hi Martin, The MS article indeed indicates that the boot image must also be distributed to the standard distribution point. I've never distributed it to a standard distribution points and it has alsways worked for me on al my PXE service points.
