Yeah headed to the doc tomorrow. It's been a total sh*t weekend.

Your reply is probably going to be something like this... I can just feel it...

You already knew that.

Alright guys, I spent about 6 hours this week trying to get my MDT/WDS combo server to load up our Surface 4's with a 1607 Windows 10 image. Reason being is because as many of you know the BIOS for the Surface 4 only allows UEFI booting... I crawled quite a few forums and found nothing that ultimately was able to help me so I figured I'd write it up for Mango.

I have both my DHCP servers configured with the following roles:
60 PXEClient | Value: PXEClient
066 Boot Server Host Name | Value: 10.1.1.10 (Yes, it's static)
067 Bootfile Name | Value: smsboot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi

Two questions... why are you using option 060 if you are already using 066 and 067? Second is where did you even find information on the boot file name? I thought it was supposed to be boot\x64\wdsnbp.com

Pretty sure boot\x64\wdsnbp.com only supports legacy network boots.
I only have 60 configured because it was stated in quite a few places to support UEFI.

Weird... ok so the first response I can understand. The second one, 060 has been used for some time. Now if you use WDS-only I see people only use 060 and not 066 or 067, so it's not really a newer concept to use 060. UEFI is a newer concept though, and apparently requires all 3 options... So is 060 an older way to configure DHCP options, but has always worked with UEFI? When I say "older" I really mean 2008 compared to 2012 R2 since UEFI came out around 2005.

I personally don't know the answer. This is the first time I ever touched DHCP role 60.

067 Bootfile Name | Value: smsboot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi

Also, I did have to add an ip helper on my VLAN in order to get this to work the following command was ran via SSH:

ip helper-address 10.1.1.10 69

The command allows TFTP traffic to be allowed to/from 10.1.1.10. You also need to make sure the following ports are open on your server:

UDP:
67
68 (Only if DHCP authorization is required on the server)
69
4011
Random ports from 64001 through 65000*, to establish a session with the server for TFTP and multicasting
Random ports from 64001 through 65000*, to establish a session with the server for TFTP and multicasting

Also, make sure via WDS>DHCP that you have "Do not listen on DHCP ports" checked.

After this was done I continued to fiddle in frustration with DHCP roles for about 30 minutes until I got the config I stated above.

After you complete these steps WDS will fully support both UEFI booting and imaging.

Played a bit of UT2004, just coz.
Ah the flack cannon...

The new UT just doesn't have the same nostalgia...

Showed up early to kick some tail @ work. Looking forward to the weekend!

@thwr Probably, but I think it's damned regardless...

@thwr Whatever it is, it looks repulsive.

If anyone watches Mr. Robot it was ruined for me at the end of Season 2.... Logs into a makeshift Windows box with another users creds on her PC... never deletes it and copies out a ton of data from the profile. It kills me, the show was doing so well up until this point. Well, he did have that sick Optiplex 745 he was hacking on in Season 1 but we won't talk about that.

ROAST BEAST. ;D

Hoping to have a low key one.

It just sucks that Apple has to be so proprietary.

Agreed, the open source aspect of android is why I'll never swap...
