What version of LDMS are you using? Did you apply this patch? Support for Windows 10 in LDMS 9.5 and 9.6

I had this same issue when trying to PXE boot the Surface 4. For me it was a driver issue. I needed to load the NVidia graphics and Surface Pro 4 Dock driver into the WIM used for the image.
I updated my 64-bit WinPE WIM file with the following drivers:
After getting into PXE I ran into a separate error where I was not able to get an IP using the Surface Pro 4 dock. I solved this by using a USB to Ethernet from dell. This did require me to add its drivers to the 64-bit WinPE WIM. If you run into the same issue I would suggest trying the USB to Ethernet but I have a tip. When trying to run the image, at least for me, the Surface Pro 4 would not boot to PXE without the dock being used. Once it booted into PXE it was not be able to use the dock Ethernet connection. I added a second bare metal server for the USB to Ethernet, added it to my image template task and tried again. I could see PXE switch to this connection and acquire an IP. This was confirmed in the LANDesk management console.
If you need instructions on how to add drivers to your WIM file you can find them here: How to add drivers to WinPE for Ivanti EPM OS Provisioning
The Surface Pro 4 drivers for the NVidia graphics, and everything else, can be found here: Download Surface Pro 4 Drivers and Firmware from Official Microsoft Download Center
The Surface Pro 4 Dock drivers can be found here under the name Surface Gigabit Ethernet Adapter: Download Surface Pro 3 from Official Microsoft Download Center
Hi dpeek,
try to exclude all Drivers from the WINPE. (make a safety copy before)
Check surface4 is booting into Winpe without Bluescreen
Add only LAN Driver to the WINPE Image (Comes with the Microsoft link from Kadams)
You dont need Grafikdrivers in WINPE
Good luck
Hi community,
did you deploy Windows 10 to the surface?
PXE boot works fine with the msu30x64w8.inf Driver.
At the moment I just have the problem to boot the surface to the windows 10.
I read something about GPT Partitions. Are there any experinces from your side?
Make sure your image was built on an EFI platform. I used a VMWare EFI virtual machine to create and capture my Win 10 image and it deploys beautifully.
As mentioned above, the only driver needed in WinPE is the Surface Pro Gigabit Ethernet driver to allow for network connectivity in WinPE. If you're trying to leverage PXE to get WinPE onto the machine, you have to have a record with the MAC address of the dock already in LDMS. I recommend using USB prov media as it simplifies that process and you can simply add a record with the serial number of the Surface Pro into LDMS. Works great.
Once in Windows, have your prov template or post-install script run the latest Surface Pro 4 MSI driver and firmware package silently. Should work just fine for you, and the Surface Pro's image faster than any other device I've worked with.
As a note to this thread. The Surface drivers are now available through Patch and Compliance Manager content.
Thank you for the outlook, that it is worth to follow this ToDo
