PXE ( pixie ) boot is simply booting of the LAN/WAN utilizing the NIC. If you turn off WOL ( wake on Lan ), then it also disables PXE boot.
Thanks for the advise on the defrag / checkdisk. Will do. Cheers.

Run defrag and checkdsk on all machines before installing. They wrote a little script to do it for all the machines connected to the LAN. With the pixie boot and the defrag/checkdsk fixes the failure rate went from 17% to 0.025%. We think the failed machines had hardware/HD problems anyway so they were just swapped out.

The test will be in a WIn2k3 SP2 R2 domain with the workstations being Xp SP2. Does anyone have any gotcha's that they would like to share, or problem areas that they found. > > Thanks in advanced > > Take Care and Have Fun --John > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > FDE mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.xml-dev.com/mailman/listinfo/fde _______________________________________________ FDE mailing list [email protected] http://www.xml-dev.com/mailman/listinfo/fde
