PXE Boot problem: pxe-m0f: exiting intel boot agent
Hello,
I am trying to perform a network boot so I can deploy images directly to the workstation using MDT.
The network is divided into 2 segments, with each segment having its own DHCP server and full communication between segments.
The WDS / MDT server is physically located in segment 1. I can do a PXE boot without issue and deploy my image.
However, on segment 2, when trying a PXE boot, the system searches for the DHCP information. I was having difficulty and make the appropriate definitons within DHCP.
The system in segment 2 now gets a an address:
client ip x.x.x.x
mask x.x.x.x
dhcp ip x.x.x.x
gateway x.x.x.x
tftp.
There is no value for TFTP.
All the address information is correct for x.x.x.x.
Is it not booting because TFTP information is missing?
I get the following after the line tftp.
pxe-m0f: exiting intel boot agent
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Could I be missing a parameter within the DHCP settings?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry was miles away, configure your ROUTER to configure DHCP HELPER info.....

How dow I determine the correct values for DHCP option 66 and 67? (DHCP server is not WDS / MDT server) but rather the network domain controller:
Currently I have DHCP option 66 as <<server name>>, 67 as PXBoot. I boot for both x64 and x32 systems (mostly x64).
I seem to be missing 1 step. I am also uncertain what you mean by DHCP helper. The firewall is acting as my router (both segments are considered trusted zones) and the devices are connected to a layer 2 switch (each segment has its own switch). The switches are plugged directly into the specific port on the firewall, segment 1 port 1, segment 2 port 2.
Thanks,
Mark

running a DHCP "helper" on your router would route the DHCP/PXE request from one subnet to the other.
this might be of use
if your firewall does not have a DHCP/PXE helper, then you will have to use options 66 and 67 and this might be of help.
Option 66 would be the IP address of the WDS server and Option 67 would be as per the list in the above link.

Thank you for your assistance
• For option 66, enter Boot Server Host Name
• For option 67, enter Bootfile Name
How you do this will depend on your exact setup. What routers you have in place etc.
