Explain exactly the point of where it fails. Does it download the boot wim and 
load it?

It doesn’t go that far and if I look for the task sequence status there are no 
messages to be found.

When you say PXE is failing with a black screen, do you even see the dialog 
appear within WinPE where it says, “Loading Windows Settings” “Preparing 
Network Connections” etc etc. Do you get that far? And if you do get that far, 
at which step does it attempt, and then bomb out?

Subject: [mssms] [sccm 2012] PXE boot not working in native mode

Hi, I’m in a rather weird position that has me hung up. I did some work 
cleaning up a customer’s PKI as they had some invalid CDPs being specified in 
their certificates. In the end we opted to publish our CRLs to LDAP and HTTP 
locations to fix this issue. I went about issuing the certificates for the 
primary site server, the first one was used for the  DP/MP/WSUS roles and the 
second for PXE. I also issued client certificates as well.

Everything is working from client communication to updates deployment but PXE 
keeps failing with a black screen after booting. I’ve taken certutil.exe and 
validated both the CRLs with –URL and the validity of the certificates using 
–verify. If I look into the SMSPXE.log on the server I see quite a few things 
going wrong but I haven’t been able to resolve them.  Here is a quick overview 
of what I see as potential problems, I can post more of the log if it helps 
anyone.

1.      I just rebuilt the image yet I am still being told to update it. It is 
even more confusing because it was built from scratch when the new certificate 
was configured and confirmed to be in the running configuration through the 
SMSPXE.log.
2.       I still can’t find much on this task sequence variable and I am not 
sure if this is one of those SCCM errors you can ignore or is it linked to our 
issue.

issue.
4.      I keep seeing this in the logs but it just does not make sense. The 
best match I get suggests that the distribution point is using a self-signed 
certificate which it is not from the checks I have done in the SMSPXE.log. 
There is another that suggests you have the wrong root CA certificate 
configured in SCCM which I did re-confirm the right one is in place.

I’ve tried chasing a number of forum posts but I can’t seem to get anywhere. I 
am open to suggestions as to where to go next. Any takers?
