PXE booting computers fail with PXE-E35 error

Products

• Deployment Solution

Issue/Introduction

Clients manually booted to PXE are failing to PXE boot with the following error:

PXE-E35: TFTP read timeout. Next TFTP data packet was not received.

Cause

PXE is improperly configured to only service clients with active job assignments. Thus when the client boots and there is no assigned job, PXE does not service the client.

Resolution

In the PXE Configuration Utility, go to the DS tab and uncheck the Enable response to computers with active job assignments only option

Applies To

Deployment Server 6.8 and up
