PXE Booting with WDS for UEFI and BIOS Devices

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.

SSL certificate installation on the Ubiquiti Unifi controller linux

lets check and see what is stored inside the keystore.
You can do this by using the following command:

sudo keytool -list -keystore /var/lib/unifi/keystore

password is aircontrolenterprise

delete it using the following command:
sudo keytool -delete -alias unifi -keystore /var/lib/unifi/keystore

“openssl pkcs12 -export -in -inkey -out -passout pass:aircontrolenterprise -name unifi” or
“openssl pkcs12 -export -nodes -out -inkey -in -certfile -passout pass:aircontrolenterprise -name unifi”
then
“keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore -srcstorepass aircontrolenterprise -destkeystore /var/lib/unifi/keystore -deststorepass aircontrolenterprise -alias unifi -trustcacerts”

The left to do is to restart the Unifi controller and you are good to go!
“systemctl restart unifi”
