LABEL Windows SCCM installer NEW
com32 linux.c32
KERNEL wimboot
INITRDFILE windows/bootmgr.exe bootmgr.exe
INITRDFILE windows/bcd bcd
INITRDFILE windows/boot boot
INITRDFILE windows/boot.sdi boot.sdi
INITRDFILE windows/boot.wim boot.wim

If I use initrd instead of initrdfile I get a cpio error, and from googling, initrdfile is what is needed.

bootmgr.exe is from the 8.1 ADK.

A network trace shows no attempt by the client to even attempt to load bootmgr.exe from the server.

Your configuration is asking pxelinux to load the bootmgr.exe file from the network; whatever is going wrong at that stage is not an iPXE or a wimboot problem.

I would suggest that you try loading iPXE directly (bypassing pxelinux), to simplify your setup and help narrow down which part is causing the problem. You can find instructions on using wimboot with iPXE at http://ipxe.org/wimboot and http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe.
