Issue/Introduction

A remote PXE server appears offline in the PXE Manager.  This may occur intermittently or after a restart of the primary PXE server.  Modifying the RPCRestartTime in the PXEManager.ini has no effect.

Cause

This is a problem with the PXE Manager UI; the remote PXE server is connected to the primary PXE server, but the PXE Manager is incorrectly reporting its status.

Resolution

No functionality is lost when the remote server appears offline; updates made to the PXE Manager propogate to the remote server, and clients are able to PXE boot from the remote server.

No solution is available at this time.  As a workaround, restarting the PXE services on the remote server corrects the server's status in the PXE Manager.
