PXE Boot: File not found/TFPT Error – File not Found

2009-04-16

From the archive (2009). Written for the tools of the time, so some details may be out of date.

Recently configured RIS on one of my secondary sites.  I was getting a File not Found error when i attempted to PXE boot a VM.  This the error i was receiving.

PXE-T01: File not found

PXE-E3b: TFTP error – file not found

Turns out that RIS/WDS was looking for pxeboot.com which didn’t exist in the remoteinstall\boot\x86 folder on my secondary site.  That’s fine, i don’t need to use that anyways since i’m running in legacy mode.  So i simply reconfigured WDS to look for startrom.com and then i was able to PXE boot my VM and image my machine using the SMS installation CD.
