I won’t be able to test until next week, but the link that Mike and Todd referenced makes sense. Thanks, guys.

We do have multiple PXE-enabled DP’s across different subnets. Here at my office, our network team confirmed the IP helper is configured on the router, then removed option 67 from the DHCP scope, leaving only 66. Now, BIOS systems get “PXE-E53 no boot filename received” error, and UEFI get “PXE-E18 server response timeout” =============== Kenneth Merenda From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Marable, Mike Sent: Friday, October 7, 2016 8:38 AM To: mssms@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mssms@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: [mssms] RE: IP Helpers for PXE “As for PXE and UEFI, I followed Andreas Hammarskjöld’s white paper on configuring MS DHCP to boot either BIOS or UEFI depending on how the client is set to boot. http://2pintsoftware.com/whitepaper-using-dhcp-uefi-bios-pxe-booting/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__2pintsoftware.com_whitepaper-2Dusing-2Ddhcp-2Duefi-2Dbios-2Dpxe-2Dbooting_&d=DQMGaQ&c=r_B2dqKkHczsuXPCSs5DOw&r=krYjy-Xm1tps1F_nkG9sNKQIT3ZPFrUh3rvr18goJ2E&m=DJkIazG4WvQ2MuWPp74vJSSjCWO_g66xnMMqcL5rZZA&s=aRjZzt7HUcS8fVfbTse5KId_OjbKjkMWUYPqWkizDvs&e=> It wasn’t too bad to set up and it works.” +1 We are in the process of implementing this here. We are in the same boat as you, Todd. The Server group PXE boots their servers to their own infrastructure and we PXE boot ours to SCCM. All we can do it submit tickets to the Networking group to make changes. They did balk when we asked to make the switch to IP Helpers (they have several hundred routers to configure). Instead they’re reconfiguring each DHCP scope using Andreas’ guide.

Here, I have no control over any of the hundreds of networks but through submitting a ticket to the Networking group, so when WDS first came out we opted to submit just the one ticket to Networking to change the IP helper on specific networks to point to the MS DHCP server we had, and then control options 66 and 67 in each scope and sometimes each IP with reservations. Admittedly, most of what I PXE are servers for deployment, Linux and Windows, some to Cobbler, some to SCCM and some to WDS. Having it this way provides the most flexibility for that. A Windows BIOS client can occupy the IP next to a Windows UEFI client, next to a Linux client. As for PXE and UEFI, I followed Andreas Hammarskjöld’s white paper on configuring MS DHCP to boot either BIOS or UEFI depending on how the client is set to boot. http://2pintsoftware.com/whitepaper-using-dhcp-uefi-bios-pxe-booting/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__2pintsoftware.com_whitepaper-2Dusing-2Ddhcp-2Duefi-2Dbios-2Dpxe-2Dbooting_&d=DQMGaQ&c=r_B2dqKkHczsuXPCSs5DOw&r=krYjy-Xm1tps1F_nkG9sNKQIT3ZPFrUh3rvr18goJ2E&m=DJkIazG4WvQ2MuWPp74vJSSjCWO_g66xnMMqcL5rZZA&s=aRjZzt7HUcS8fVfbTse5KId_OjbKjkMWUYPqWkizDvs&e=> It wasn’t too bad to set up and it works.

In this case, what IP helpers are needed for PXE of both UEFI and BIOS devices? Currently, we’re using option 66 pointing to the WDS server (SCCM DP), and 67 pointing to SMSBoot\x86\wdsnbp.com. It seems to me that 67 would cause a problem for UEFI, but I’m hesitant to change. Right now, PXE works for BIOS but not UEFI, and I don’t want to break BIOS support just to get UEFI working. SCCM is environment 2012 R2 SP1 CU1 on Server 2008 R2.
