Issue/Introduction
Is there any known way to configure Windows Boot Servers to use HTTP to transport Boot Images to the client systems?
Environment
CA-Client Automation - All Version
Resolution
We currently don't support the Windows Boot Servers to use HTTP to transport Boot Images to their client systems. We are still using the PXE method and we do not support iPXE method using HTTP (https://ipxe.org/howto/winpe)
