Dears,
I recently installed the DS 6.9 SP6 from scratch on a VM (W2K8R2). The database and PXE is running on the same machine. From my perspective everything worke fine. I also created an anwser file for an unattended Win 7 installation and did a installation for test using another VM. IP address assignement, boot to WinPE and installaton of Win 7 worked fine. Now I used a physical machine and I am faced with the problem that nearly always the WinPE is not loaded by the physical PC. In case it is loaded and I trigger the installation task it starts and immediately stops . I also used another PC and model but the same happens while installations at a VM machine was not a problem the same time. Next I did was adding the updated drivers for the physical PC's to the WinPE boot.wim using the PXE Manager wizard, but it did not solve the issues. At the moment I am completely lost. Has anybody a DS 6.9 SP6 in place as a VM without any issues? I also found reports about issues caused by vSwitch from VMWARe. May the problems be caused by the VMWare vSwitch? Would be great if someone could give me a hint about this.
