IPXE Server with Windows Server 2012 - speede2013 - 2013-07-25 12:25
Hello people,
I want to install a IPxE Server to Windows Server 2012 base.
I have installed the IIS role. Copied the boot files under wwwroot
Files are in the server IP Available (for all users)
At the start of the Boot CD (http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.iso) I have the command (strag + B). dhcp && http: \ \ SERVER \ boot.ipxe executed the works, but until "ok" is no boot file is loaded, why?
// Auf deutsch/german:

Beim starten von der Boot CD (http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.iso) habe ich den Befehl (strag + B). dhcp && http:\\SERVER\boot.ipxe ausgeführt, das funktioniert auch, aber bis auf " ok" wird keine Bootdatei geladen, warum ?

Could you show us a picture (with a camera works) of what happens when you boot the client using the network?
You can also build custom boot CD using http://rom-o-matic.eu/. You might also find some additional information for beginners over at http://networkboot.org/.
Please keep this forum in English. AFAIK, we don't have a lot of frequent users that speak German well.

Hello and thank you for your answer.
I can not English, so I have my text written in German underneath.
Thanks for the link, I have built me a Costumer image that works well.
The problem is, unfortunately, still exists, it loads a boot file.

Ah, the IIS issue, I experienced that also.
See MIME - IIS 8 only serves registered file types. If you look closely, not all files are downloaded. Just add .sdi, .wim, .*, and whatever file extension you need to MIME in IIS 8.
I just used "application/octet-stream" on file type.

speede: It seems like your DHCP setup is correct. It does seem like your boot.ipxe file is loaded from HTTP. Try to build a new ipxe image with DEBUG=script to see what that script is actually doing. That should give some more details as to what might be wrong.

actual boot.ipxe:
#!ipxe
kernel wimboot
initrd bootmgr bootmgr
initrd boot/bcd BCD
initrd boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
initrd sources/boot.wim boot.wim
imgstat

Your script is probably saved using UTF-16 charset. You must save it using Latin1 or UTF-8, or iPXE won't be able to understand it. You should also try to download that file in your browser to verify that you see the script onscreen. I just tried to download http://81.169.212.229/boot.ipxe and I notice you have a blank character before the '#!ipxe' string on the first line. You need to remove that space. Unless the first 6 bytes of the file is '#!ipxe' (or '#!gpxe' for compatibility) it won't understand that it is an iPXE script file.
