  • 1.  Using Token (package Server) during PXE boot

    Posted Oct 15, 2015 04:12 PM

    Hi I am trying to use package server token to map the drive to a predefined computer but it seems like cannot find the PS on same subnet when I run the same task on a computer is booted to windows 7 it works 

    Should a predefined computer when booted in winpe be able to see what is the PS assigned to it? 

     

    Any suggestions please?

    Are you using a inbuilt token or is this customized token? If the PXE Server is the package server you could try to use the environment variable %ALTIRIS_PXE_SERVER%.

    Well I am using 7.6 and its not an option. The token I created for Package server based on a recommendation on connects works fine on computers that are managed but does not work in PXE.

    Hi Skhs, 

    Could you post the SQL you are using for the token and I'll take a look?

    Thanks

    Well I just tried %ALTIRIS_PXE_SERVER% in the script on 7.6 and it worked. Although its not listed anywhere in documentation. Wondering what else I am missing :)

    Run set in the command prompt when you have started your client from PXE and you see all available environment variables. Maybe you find any other interesting values.

    %ALTIRIS_PXE_SERVER% is maybe not listed under tokens because it is not available from the list in the console. However as you saw it is available as an environment variable when booted from PXE.
