  3. Check the NIC driver in teh boot image. If PXE starts and WinPE loads but then reboots without network, teh boot image lacks the NIC driver for that model. Add the driver and update distribution points. worked for me anyway 🤷

  5. Accepted solution

    ok so UEFI vs legacy: make suree the boot image architecture and the device firmware match (x64 boot image for UEFI), if Secure Boot is on, that's normally fine with the signed WDS/ConfigMgr boot files, but outdated boot files can fail. worked for me anyway 🤷

  10. hmm idk before changing switch settings, try a PXE-enabled DP in the same subnet as the imaging bench to isolate the network variable. but hey ymmv

  11. @tlopez holy cow added the NIC driver to the boot image and redistributed. The new Dell laptops now get all the way into the task sequence. Thanks!
