  • 1.  Add Automation pre-boot environment

    Posted Aug 25, 2017 07:55 PM

    I have installed GSS 3.0 on windows server 2008 x64 and during Distribution Disk Image task clients fails with a status of "Unable to boot to automation". When I modify the task Automation pre-boot environment is set to Default Automation (Auto-select) and the advance button is grayed out. I then checked pre-boot operating systems install on server and see the following Pre-boot OS

    LinuxPE X86
    LinusPE X64
    WinPE 10X X86 (Status=Installed)
    WinPE 10X X64 (Status=Installed)
    None of the pre-boot os environments listed above appear in the Automation pre-boot environment option box in the Distribution Disk Image task. I am not sure how to select WinPEx 10X if it does not appear in the drop down as an option.

    After adding the pre-boot OS you have to create a new preboot option in pxeconfig manager.

    there you can set/enable every entry with "Allow as PXE-Boot-Option"

    Mardy,

    Typically we see this error when trying to pxe boot and the bios on the client is not set to boot to lan as default. Try changing this setting and or pressing f12 during boot to select the pxe environment and the client should go through.

    Let me know if this does not resolve the issue.
