Deployment Solution

I moved my DS server to a new vlan that is sepererate from the clients.  DS server is the DHCP server running Windows Server 2008R2.  Clients will recieve a DHCP address, but will not pxe boot and errors with PXE-E7B and PXE-M0F.  Previously, the DS server was on the same vlan as the clients and all worked well.  Inside of the DS Management console i changed the deployment server ip address under the PXE config as well as in the production agent.  The DS Management console can see the clients as alive after the clients boot.

If the pxe server is the DHCP server, be sure that the appropriate options are set to share the PXE address and make sure the PXE services are actually binding / listening on the appropriate ports.  It's possible that the DHCP scope options were not appropriately changed.

Thanks Thomas.  To add more information - the pxe server is the DHCP server which is the DS server.  Option 60 was created upon initial installation some years ago when everything was on a flat network.  Now that we have added in all of our vlans and moved the DS server to its appropriate vlan is where we ran into problems.  No other dhcp scope or server options are created - at least in regards to Altiris or pxe booting in particular.  Should i be looking to configure additional options?

We are routing all of our vlans through a sonicwall nsa 4500.  For right now, i am allowing all traffic to flow from all my vlans to the vlan that the DS/DHCP/PXE server resides on.  Likewise, all traffic from the DS/DHCP/PXE server vlan is allowed to all other vlans.  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I just want to be sure - the PXE server and DHCP server are still the same, just in a different location.  Clients are getting IP addresses (so DHCP is working) but PXE is broken now, right?

I am assuming this is a DS 6.x server, correct?  You may simply want to pull PXE using a custom installation and reinstall it.  DS 6 is pretty easy to modify this way.  It's possible there are some INI's or something that need tweaking.  I know in the past I used to know how to do this, but that was ... 6 years ago?  No longer!

Alternatively, there are those who are in advanced support that probably know how, but finding then may be tricky.  Others may know what to look for, but I'm rusty on who has those skills there now.

So, were it me, I'd look into pulling PXE off the box and putting it back on.  It's not like the 7.5 world where that breaks everything.  It should be pretty easy, but if not, well, let us know.  That is, it should be available via menu during the DSSetup and I believe a custom install selection.

At least look.  If you have a lab, you could test it there first.  My DS 6 lab is down...  :(

Since you moved the DS to another VLAN, The IP Address of the DS / PXE is changed?

If the Clients are residing on another VLAN than the PXE, Please get in touch with your Network team to add the IP Helper address(DS Server) for the Client VLAN's.

@twilsoncwctc: Do you need any more assistance here? I'm inclined to think this is a VLAN issue where the clients can no longer have their DHCP broadcasts routed to the DS server.  In the meantime, I'm requesting a split solution on this one.
