I have a couple questions. You say to start the WDS service in troubleshooting but I can't do so. I am running SCCM 2012 CTP2 and Server 2012 RC. I have confirmed that WDS works and can download boot images so PXE can work stand alone with WDS, naturally it hijacks the image so the task sequence never kicks off. Am I missing something to get SCCM to work? DO I configure WDS from the yellow bang or ignore it? If so AD DS or stand alone? I feel like I am close thanks to your write-up. I am missing something no doubt. PXE never connects to DHCP in my current state which is removing the Role and readding it via the PXE distribution Point. I am using a legacy adapter and setup the bios to boot into PXE automatically via the legacy adapter in the boot order. Is that part of the issues? Seems OK with WDS alone.
