TFTP download failed

weedod Aug 15, 2012 6:08 AM

Hi,

I wanted to capture an image so I've deployed a PXE server (Windows 2003 Std SP2) via LDMS v9.0 SP3 successfully (as per LANDesk How to create image capture script Step-by-step)

Created a Capture script and added it to the PXE Boot Menu. I boot the PC (network boot) and it obatins IP address etc fine.

The PXE Boot Menu appears and I choose WinPE Menu.

Finds BOOT server IP ok. Then hangs a little before displaying TFTP download failed. Press any key to reboot.

Not to sure about PXE so I was wonder if there's something I'm missing, Ports being blocked etc

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Sorted. Used Zenmap to check open/blocked ports and It turns out our network switches are blocking TFTP.

This has now been disabled and it all works fine.
