Hello All, I've added some traces to narrow down the issue.
Once the NBP file downloaded, control will be given to it. I've added some traces before StartImage() and after StartImage() call. Following are the debug messages // DEBUG message printed before StartImage() // StartImage() called wdsmgfw.Entry(100061C0) WDS Boot Manager version 0800 Client IP: 192.168.0.6 Server IP: 192.168.0.1 Server Name: WIN-8PL637590SS Press ENTER for network boot service. Windows Deployment Services (Server IP: 192.168.0.1) Contacting Server (192.168.0.1): ESC=Exit -ConvertPages: Incompatible memory types bootmgfw.Entry(849FE1C0) ASSERT d:\PathtoProject\MdeModulePkg\Core\Dxe\Mem\Pool.c(561): CR has Bad Signature It might be Boot Loader Issue, As control is NOT coming back. Could you please help on this.

Both these structures have signatures. The ASSERT you are seeing is a bad signature in the header so that looks like a buffer underflow. It could also be a use after free bug. Head: POOL_HEAD Buffer: User Data Tail: POOL_TAIL Given the checks only happen on Free it is possible it could be a buffer overflow on a buffer that has not yet been freed that runs into this buffer. If you have a debugger dumping the memory before and after the buffer can some times be useful. The pattern might give you some clues.
