Problem:
When attempting to PXE boot using a Windows PE x64 image, the actual .wim is downloaded from the PXE service point/distribution point as shown by the progress bar. After 100% completion the screen goes black, Windows PE is not loaded and the VM turns off.
Details:
I am using an MDT Task Sequence for deploying the Windows Server 2008 Operating System Install package. I simply copied it and changed the boot image on the Task Sequence instead of creating a new Task Sequence from scratch (not sure if this makes a difference or not). I was able to boot into it by using the Create a Task Sequence wizard (non MDT) but the sequence stalled before doing anything and rebooted.
The drivers for VMware have been imported into the boot image as well.
Environment:
SCCM 2007 SP2 R2 running on Windows Server 2003 SP2
Target VM: 2GB of RAM, 40GB harddrive
Any assistance would be great.
