Failed to boot smartPE with WDS

[Roy]

Hi folks,

I created a media file (.wim) integrated with WDS and successfully import it into the WDS. But the host could not start boot with PXE.

At first, I thought it was caused by WDS, so I tried to import the original win10 image into it and disabled smartdeploy  image, it began to work, so I was sure WDS was working normally.

Could you give me some advice? That was driving me crazy.

Environment: 10.5.1.2/16  DC\DHCP\DNS (vm)

                         10.5.1.9/16  WDS (vm)

Hi Glenn,

Many thanks. I re-created the image this morning and imported it. Now it's working normally. Also I find the windows boot manager (boot.wim) can push the smartdeploy image. That's really magic.😁
