I'm evaluating SmartDeploy and it seems like a great product, but without any PXE boot it's useless to me.
When I try to run a network boot on a PC, it just gives me the DHCP........ cursor along with the MAC address of the PC. So it's not picking up an address in order to PXE boot it seems. What am I missing? Not sure if its on the DHCP server side or some WDS configuration. I did notice that the DHCP authorization is off on the WDS side by default. Should it be enabled?
I have a DHCP server on 10.1.1.140 and WDS server on 10.1.1.156. My understanding is that since they're on the same subnet, there are no DHCP options needed? Even with options 60,66,67 configured, I still get no love from WDS.
I should mention that DHCP & WDS are on separate 2012 R2 servers (on the same network) while client PCs are on a different VLAN. I did see some suggestion about adding an IP helper address to 10.1.1.156 (my WDS server)...but I've gotten nowhere.
