  • 1.  PXE boot images not being created on PXE servers including NS server

    Posted Mar 29, 2010 11:09 AM

    Hi!

    I have configured my NS and site server acording to these two KB's
    https://kb.altiris.com/display/1/articleDirect/index.asp?aid=51467
    and
    https://kb.altiris.com/display/1/articleDirect/index.asp?aid=51896

    And my problem is that the pxe image I have created in Preboot configuration is not being created on the NS nor the other Site server.

    Any thoughts on what might be wrong, or maybe any pointers to where I can start my troubleshooting?

    Regards,
    Tommy Herman

    NS 7.0
    DS 7.1

    once you setup for Preboot Configuration, from Altiris Agent (system tray) click on update configuration.
    if you do not do it manually, Preboot Configuration will be updated with default interval of 1 hour.
    Also, it takes a lot of time 20-30 minutes so you may feel that it is not working but actually it is working in background.
    You can verify it.
    Go to location : \\NS Server \\Deployment\Task Handler\SBS\Images\XYZ
    Here
    NS Server: will be your NS server amchine name
    XYZ: pre boot name (entered during preboot configuration from NS Console page)
    if XYZ is created that menas your preboot is created.

    Hi Arjain!

    Thank you for the responce.
    But Icreated the image yesterday and it should have finished at least over night, but it didn't.
    I have also done Delta Update and it's still in default test mode (every 5 minutes) and also done Config update on the NS server.
    Under \\NS\Deployment\Task Handler\SBS\Images I only have BStrap.

    Try the following scheduled tasks.

    1. NS.Delta Resource Membership Update.
    2. NS.Complete Resource Membership Update

    The do an update configuration in the SYmantec Management Agent Settings.

    Let us know your results.

    Hi Nelo!

    Tested and it did not do anything, sadly.

    Intresting... I have the same issue on my end with the same versions and have not been able to resolve it as well... This might be a bug... Hmmm....
