I just found myself struggling to PXE boot a new PC using an USB ethernet adapter, since PXE boot is exclusive to “All unknown computers”. Boot failed, and I failed to understand why. So I opened SMSPXE.log to find this: It seems that there’s another PC with that “ItemKey”, so the PC results as known.

Aug 17, 2015  PXE: Load different boot menu depending on MAC address of client Hello everybody, In the company where I work, we have a Linux PXE server and multiple thin clients that load the image at boot. This message contains the clients, MAC address, the IP address the server is offering, the subnet mask, the lease duration, and the IP address of the DHCP server making the offer. At this point the client receives the boot information from the PXE proxy and tells the client to continue with a network boot. When a computer initiates a PXE boot, it sends a network broadcast containing its Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) and the Media Access Control (MAC) address, together with a request for a PXE. Before adding any MAC addresses to this registry key value, do not forget to remove any existing object registered with those MAC addresses from the ConfigMgr console otherwise the PXE boot will not work.

Let’s see who this is Select * from System_DISC where ItemKey = '16780161' Oh, it’s the previous PC I prepared using this ethernet-USB adapter. Let’s ask Uncle Google Manage duplicate hardware identifiers Providing a list of hardware identifiers that Configuration Manager ignores for the purpose of PXE boot and client registration, helps to address two common issues. • Many new devices, like the Surface Pro 3, do not include an onboard Ethernet port. Technicians use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter to establish a wired connection for purposes of operating system deployment.

However, these adapters are often shared due to cost and general usability. Because the MAC address of this adapter is used to identify the device, reusing the adapter becomes problematic without additional administrator actions between each deployment.

To reuse the adapter in this scenario, exclude its MAC address. • While the SMBIOS attribute should be unique, some specialty hardware devices have duplicate identifiers. Free sql client for mac. Exclude this duplicate identifier and rely on the unique MAC address of each device. To add hardware identifiers for Configuration Manager to ignore • In the Configuration Manager console, go to Administration > Overview > Site Configuration > Sites. • On the Home tab, in the Sites group, choose Hierarchy Settings. • On the Client Approval and Conflicting Records tab, choose Add in the Duplicate hardware identifiers section to add new hardware identifiers.

Oh that was easy. And I just slammed my head on the wall for the past day.

Hello, Hoping you could help me understand how this works, am new to networking world, understand the basics of tcp/ip but am a little fuzzy on how a practical application will work. Coworker has a windows server and a linux server and wants me to set up a static IP for both first of all because we are going to network install an operating system for each server, first time for me doing any of this.

I understand that first we need to contact the networking dept for our company and have them give the dhcp server the physical (mac) address and have it only assign a certain static ip based on that mac. Once that is done, we are going to pxe boot each server. Each server is then going to contact the dhcp server grab the IP address we assigned, right?

Then we can push out that install based on the static ip (or the host name if they put in a DNS entry too). Am trying to research as much of this as possible so I can learn on my own but I am really not sure why we can't use the mac address to push out this installation via kick start, ghost etc and am really lost with this concept. Am I on the right track to understanding this concept? Guys thanks a lot for your answers. I guess what I really don't understand at all is what happens when you pxe boot the server that is going to be imaged. We are going to use clonezilla to push out a fresh windows and a fresh Linux image.
