Gah, that seems to have solved part of the issue. Thanks very much!

I have been trying to get a test system to boot with a PXE setup. Basics on the install: Windows 2008 R2 SCCM 2007 SP2 I have followed all of the instructions, and installed WDS without setting it up. Then installed the ConfigMgr PXE service point. I then opened the Operating System Deployment entry, went to Boot Images and updated the Distribution Points for both Boot image (x64) and Boot image (x86) to point to the SCCM 2007 server for both standard distribution and SMSPXEIMAGES$. At that point I verified that the folders were populated with the proper files. They are C:\RemoteInstall\SMSBoot\x64 abortpxe.com bootmgfw.efi bootmgr.exe pxeboot.com pxeboot.n12 wdsnbp.com C:\RemoteInstall\SMSBoot\x86 abortpxe.com bootmgr.exe pxeboot.com pxeboot.n12 wdsnbp.com The network helpers are present: pointing ot the server testserver.test.local and correct file for booting SMSBoot\x64\pxeboot.com The test computer boots ot the PXE loader, it checks out an IP address and starts the boot process. Looking at the log file: C:\Program Files (x86)\SMS_CCM\Logs\smspxe.log I see that it receives a connection and sends requested information.
