Unable to install Windows with iPXE and sanboot WinPE iso

Unable to install Windows with iPXE and sanboot WinPE iso
I have a ready WinPE iso that may boot from network using syslinux.

I use the WinPE iso to boot machine into Window PE and perform Windows installation. It works so far but I would like to try iPXE solution for network booting and installation.

When boot from iPXE, I use

Code:
sanboot --no-describe http://lanboot/winpe.iso

to boot the winpe iso. The WinPE does boot and I try to perform windows installation as usual. However, I encounter

Code:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk"

when trying to install Windows in my local hard disk.

If I boot into iPXE and using syslinux/memdisk:

Code:
kernel http://lanboot/syslinux/memdisk iso
initrd http://lanboot/winpe.iso
boot

I may install Windows OS as usual to the local hard disk.

I am thinking to abandon syslinux solution and using pure iPXE strategy in my network environment. Is there any steps to make sanboot winpe iso works in my scenarios?

Thank you.
