WDS error

[Mr-White]

I'm running Server 2008 R2, when I try to PXE boot a computer it stops loading at \boot.SDI and just hangs. This is the error message in the WDS server log.

The only thing I can find on Google is this Microsoft article but there's no link to the hot fix

I've never seen that message before. There are some hotfixes where you have to fill in a form and they email it to you but nothing so open ended.

As far as I can see your best option is to contact them, then apply the fix and registry edit. #

Unless its possible to adjust your network hardware to allow for the larger TFTP block size?

I don't think I could change my network as it's either unmanaged or doesn't have that kind of depth of configuration.

I don't understand why you have to contact them, why isn't this fix available for download ?

Why not just contact them? They normally respond very quickly, quicker than waiting for an answer in here anyway

Because contacting them for technical support without a support contract says £199+VAT
