We are currently running 7.1 in production and the last time I played with the product was a 7.5 SP1test system. I don't really remember having many issues in 7.5 SP1
There have, of course, been some minor tweaks in 7.6, making it different from 7.1/7.5 so I am having trouble troubleshooting my issue. Basically, my site server does not seem to be responding to PXE boot. Both Symantec Network Boot Services are running under the local service account. According to:
https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.DOC6770...
and my netstat:
C:\Windows\system32>netstat -a

I think everything is listening on the right ports, unless I am reading something wrong? When I PXE boot I get an error:
PXE-E53 No boot filename received
According to the Package Server list, I have the BDC, Imaging, DriverDB, Automation Folders, and Deployment Plug-ins on the server. In 7.5, the actual PE image name used to show up, but it's not there now. However, from the NS, I can see the PE image shows a status of being on both site servers. Agent-wise, I have Deployment NBS Plug-in, Deplyment Package Server, Deplyment Task Server Handler installed. In Initial Deployment, I have both options set to run the Boot to PE task, with the Task configured and pointing to the only PE image I have.
I don't remember how things were shared out on previous versions, but if I go to my site servers, I only see:
PkgSvrHostE$
print$
So I am wondering if my shares aren't correctly created/configured, maybe firewall on the server itself (Server 2012r2 comes closed down these days)? OH, I also turned logging to full, and I see that SbsLog_* report errors. These are tested, initially, across VLANs with an iphelper, but to avoid those pitfalls, I still have the issue when on the same subnet as the server. Also, full disclosure, I did not install XML core services, as nothing came up for Server 2012r2, but I did download it incase it became an issue. Also, the account this is running on, is a domain user account with local admin priveleges on all Altiris servers.
Any help appreciated. Thanks
