We use wake on lan to boot up the systems every morning. it would be helpful to have multiple boot orders. i'm just not sure how it would work in our environment.. any information though is helpful. cause i can begin to use that to look further into things... any specific thoughts in that space ? thx

We have identified its not really our PXE its that end users have added to our image at the nodal end... like trial software and etc. thats slowing down our overall boot... were also investigating TFTP

I guess maybe normally it takes as long as 40-45 seconds normally to boot up ?
Maybe do you know anything about looking into speeding it up somehow which i'm not sure it is possible but will continue to research ....
so to answer your question I guess it would be booting the image ?
I think i may just need to look more into scripting a way to make changes to the boot sequence in the Image's bios.
If i can do this then i'll be able to turn pxe booting off and on depending on when we need it ...
does that make sense ?
