  • 1.  Clients not showing up in DS console

    Posted Jan 14, 2009 04:46 AM
    When workstations PXE boot into WinPE2.1 they are no longer showing up in the DS console. This was working previously. What settings can I check to ensure this is setup correctly?

    Thanks

    When they PXE boot do they connect to DS? Are you using Initial Deployment?

    The used to connect, but now do not show up at all. Yes I'm using Initial Deployment. Do I need to setup MAC filtering?

    No, I mean when they PXE boot to they at some point say connected to server? It sounds like they just aren't connect with the server.

    I've seen this happen when another computer is using the same record (you might check your Primary lookup key in the Tools --> options, Global tab). I would avoid using UUID or MAC address as this has caused me problems in the past. Serial number works great if you don't have any Dells that have had system boards replaced and the tech forgot to put the new serial number in. Also, you might search all of your clients in the DS console and ensure that it isn't buried somewhere and that is why you aren't seeing it.
