A lot of what I’m going to go through in this post I learned from this YouTube video from BranchCache Bob, here’s the video. There are some differences, which I’ll point out below.
The Problem
You have multiple VLANs, and have a mixture of devices with BIOS and UEFI and need to boot them from the network using PXE from a WDS server.
Prerequisites
- A Windows Deployment Server.
- A Microsoft DHCP server (does not have to be running on the same server as WDS).
- Have the DHCP server’s IP as a helper address on your network switch for each VLAN you want to boot.
