SCCM 2012 sp1 PXE boot problem

Question

I am unable to PXE boot a bare metal PC using SCCM 2012 sp1. I have never tried to deploy an operating system before now. Here is my situation:

 

Recently upgraded my SCCM 2012 site to sp1. Site system status is all green.

Configured SCCM 2012 to deploy operating systems using PXE boot.

When I try to PXE boot the bare metal PC, the following error message is returned: PXE-E55 ProxyDHCP service did not reply to request on port 4011.

The firewall on the SCCM 2012 server is turned off.

In the SMSPXE.log I have the following message:

 

Getting boot action for unknown machine: item key: 2046820352 SMSPXE 4/11/2013 9:46:31 AM 3008 (0x0BC0)

I have tried reinstalling WDS and disabling/re-enabling PXE booting in SCCM 2012 3 times to no avail. I am up against a brick wall on this one. Almost ready to call Microsoft but wanted to let you guys have a look at this first. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you already reviewed these articles: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/3747b974-ba4f-41e4-abd9-a2e7a38e994b, http://www.bootix.com/support/problems_solutions/pxe_e55_proxydhcp_service_did_not_reply_to_request_on_port_4011.html

 

Assuming your setup (option 60) is good, are their multiple NICs on your system you are trying to build?

Yes that is why I asked...there is no need to not unless you have clients on different subnets/VLANs then you can configure DHCP options to let clients know where the PXE server is and the location of the bootfile (not recommended but will work, maybe for a while), the recommended way is to have IP helpers.

 

Anyway have you seen this article?

It may be your problem.
