Error description:
What trigging the fault?

Not tested fully yet (On it):
1. Remove all Boot images from DP
2. Uninstall WDS service
3. Remove PXE SP
4. Delete “leftovers” in \Remoteinstall (if any)
5. Reinstall WDS service
6. Add PXE role
7. Re distribute boot images ( a new one)
8. TEST TEST
Any input would be appreciated
Ill repost when I have testet above solution.
Best regards
