Ghost Solution Suite

We have set up Alitirs to do imgaing of clients for our desktop team, created an image and tested the image which workis fine on our test VM. we are currently using Altiris 7.6 on 2012 R2 server. OIur DHCP servers are 2012 R2.

I am looking at setting DHCP Option 60, I have ran the below from netsh on our DHCP server and we have an IP helper in place. (Our DHCP server and eployment server on 2 different servers)

dhcp server
add optiondef 60 PXEClient STRING 0 comment="Option added for PXE support"
set optionvalue 60 STRING PXEClient
show optionvalue all
exit

I have checked the server options and Option 60 is set, I am now looking at setting the scope option 60. Can anyone advise on the scope option 60 what the string value will be? Also will I need to add anymore options such as 66, Im not too sure which option would point to our PXE boot server\deployment.

There are no DHCP Options required when your dhcp and pxe server are in the same subnet as the clients. If you want to boot the pxeimage across vlans you have to use a dhcp-helper or the PXE forced mode.

We tried pxe booting without any options configured but it kept failing even though we are on flat network.

I enabled option 60 and rebooted the server so the option is selectable, if you do not reboot then the option will not been seen. The string value is PXEClient

Option 43 is enabled and I used the pxeforcemode.exe to generate the Hex value

Option 66 this points to the IP of the PXE server

Option 67 and the value is BStrap\X86pc\Bstrap.0

Only after configuring these options the client was able to PXE boot.
