  • 1.  WinPE 10 on DS 8.0 HF2

    Posted Jun 21, 2016 01:35 PM

    Hi everyone,

    I upgraded my dev box to 8.0 HF2 yesterday after reading from the release notes that I could use WinPE 10.  After the upgrade completed I removed the Windows 8.1 ADK, installed the Windows 10 (update 1511) ADK, imported it, and then upgraded my WinPE 5.1 to 10.  I then recreated the preboot configurations (PXE).  Everything shows that I'm on WinPE 10.  My problem is that now I can only boot machines with legacy BIOS enabled.  When I boot with UEFI enabled, I get a PXE-E99 error.  With WinPE 5.1, I had no problem booting with UEFI BIOS enabled.  So I'm wondering if I missed something or if anyone has seen this type of issue before. 

    I've recreated the preboot environment several times with no change.  Any suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks Gilbert!  I searched for this specific error and that article didn't come up in my results, so I'm glad you had it handy.

    I just had the issue resolved a week ago.  Unfortunately, I am running into a new issue now where WINPE will not properly register the Altiis Agent because it cannot install the SSL certificate.  I can get the unit to boot to WINPE, but it will not take any tasks after that.  If you use SSL on your Altiis deployment, let me know if you run into the same issue.  I am currently working with support on that.
