\boot\bcd error

Question

I am on a deadline and desperately needs some experienced help.

 

We have a Windows Server 2003 R2 w/ SP2 that we installed WDS on. This server is on a virtual machine and DHCP is on a seperate server.

 

DHCP options 66 and 67 have been set.

Option 67 is set to: \boot\x86\pxeboot.com

 

I had to set the options otherwise my client system would not obtain an ip address.

 

I opened the TFTP ports on the WDS server and the Server is running in native mode.

 

I used the boot.wim from AIK and we are trying to deploy a XP pro image. The image was captured using imagex.

 

When I boot my client system, I get the ip address from DHCP, I press F12 to network boot, and then I get this errror:

 

File: \boot\BCD

Status: 0xc000000f

Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

 

I have been stuck on this for a week and desperately need some insight.

 

I have viewed my default.BCD file and this is what is shows:

 

Windows Boot Manager

---------------------------

identifier {bootmgr}

inherit {dbgsettings}

timeout 30

 

Debugger Settings

---------------------

identifier {dbgsettings}

debugtype Serial

debugport 1

baudrate 115200

 

Device options

-----------------

identifier {68d9e51c-a129-4ee1-9725-2ab00a957daf}

ramdisksdidevice boot

ramdisksdipath \boot\boot.sdi

 

 

Is there something missing and how do I correct it?

here's something interesting and i need help with.

 

In the reg, under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM\Logging\SMSPXE the key 'LogPath' is set to 'SMSPXE.log'

 

No full path, and no file can be located.

 

If I change the path, say, to 'C:\Logs\SMSPXE.log', and then reboot the server OR simply restart the WDS service, it changes the path back to the original key.

 

So, i cannot troubleshoot my Boot\BCD error because I have to log to reference. Any ideas?

We hit this issue recently when we went from a setup where the WDS server and clients were on the same subnet to one where they are on separate subnets. As our set had a Cisco router between the two subnets we resolved the issue by also adding the WDS server IP to the Cisco IP Helper-Address (in addition to MS's recommendations)
