Copy PXE Configuration from one PXE to another

I have setup our PXE server the way we want it. (PXE menu)

Does anyone know a way to copy this configuration to other PXE servers in our environment?

Is there way to copy the PXE menu to a new PXE server?

Thanks!

Shared Config

If the PXE servers are all pointing to the same DS, you can utilize shared configurations (All PXE servers that connect to that DS would share the same boot images that are designated as shared).  This does not prevent you from making local configurations, but makes it easier to manage across multiple PXE servers.

When using the PXE Configuration Utility, you should be able to select individual servers or select Shared Configuration.  Anything created or modified in the Shared Configuration would be replicated to all other servers.

Otherwise, if you are doing this on PXE servers that point to separate DS, I'm not sure how you would export the settings seeing as the PXE image is probably going to be looking for the specific DS that it was created for.
