My google searches led me to iPXE, where a number of people have claimed to get this working using iPXE and I'm wondering if someone can provide me with the following registry key so I can validate this myself.

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control

I know SSCM uses this to initially determine how the system was booted, but does eventually try and validate this after the fact. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I have worked through this problem. I don't have my notes to hand at present, but I can probably dig them out later.

Have you tried using http://ipxe.org/wimboot and the instructions at http://ipxe.org/howto/sccm? (Those instructions incorporate the registry hacks and other tricks used to get SCCM working with wimboot, which is going to be a very similar problem.)

That would be awesome if you could dig out your notes. We're in the process of running through setting up iPXE and have had challenges getting this to work in a virtual environment so we're trying to get some physical machines setup to test this out.

as an aside, I had opened up a case with Microsoft to see if this was possible and the answer we got from them was that it doesn't work this way and it's not a supported scenario.
