PXE Boot - No entry found in database for device

[DE_FreD_S]

Hi everyone,

 

the error in the thread title occurs on every machine I try to boot via PXE.

 

My setup is as follows:

 

- VMware vSphere

- Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise -> SQL Server 2008 SP1 CU13, SCCM 2012, IIS, WDS, etc.

- Windows Server 2008 Standard -> DHCP

- Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise -> DNS

 

I setup SCCM 2012 according to the tutorial on this forum, which worked fine. Application deployment to existing VMs which are added to collections works fine including superseding. But when I try to boot a new VM via PXE, I get the error message "No entry found in database for device".

 

The devices however have been imported to a collection and show up there, as they should.

 

On the DHCP server, I have IP reservations for the clients (currently 2 clients) for 192.168.83.201 and .202, the site boundary range is 200 - 210.

 

For each client, I added options 66 and 67 to the reservation and filled in the IP of the SCCM 2012 Server and "\smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com".

 

All servers and clients are in the same subnet.

 

When booting, the client successfully gets an IP adress, recognises the DHCP server correctly and gets the gateway IP correctly. After that, the boot procedure terminates with the aboce error message.

 

The SMSPXE.log has the following entries:

When stopping the WDS service on any of the servers (SCCM 2012 or DHCP), the problem still exists. But I couldn't find any external program interfering... I'm puzled as to what could be causing this problem - any ideas?

 

Cheers,

I have this problem as well, but on the SCCM 2012 RTM version. Anyone got any ideas?
