I just upgraded from RIS to WDM on our Windows 2003 server.

When booting a client machine from PXE it cannot find the PXEBOOT.COM.

I really cannot get my head around this.

I'm probably doing something stupid but no matter how much stuff I have read online I just cannot seem to gain even an understanding to whats happening.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks and sorry in advance.

Try adding a boot image (boot.wim form the Vista DVD) from the WDS console and make sure you choose the correct one (x86, x64)

Thanks for your reply pmol100.

I managed to get it to work by setting pxeboot.com as the default boot program instead of Wdsnbp.com.

Does Wdsnbp.com work with old RIS images? That is all I currently have on the server.

Thanks
