      i spotted your thread earlier, used it and i’ve been working with a Surface Pro 3 network booting all day. network boot works fine.

        Are you using a dongle to Ethernet adapter, or WiFi ?

          Are you coexisting BIOS PXE and UEFI PXE?

            Not yet… I’ve just been researching it, but that’s the idea yeah. Sounds like Junkhacker already got it going.

              I appear to be running into a PortFast issue. It will take me a bit to take control of the switches to blame. Those who can test this, please install dnsmasq, then use the attached file (saving it as /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf), replacing <FOG-IP> with your FOG server’s IP. Then, make a copy of undionly.kpxe and snponly.efi, calling the copies undionly.kpxe.0 and snponly.efi.0 respectively.

                I can jump on this one…

                I’ll backup my current config and try this… give me 30 minutes…

                  That’d be a negative… for both BIOS and UEFI… used two different machines to test.

                  I’ve attached my WORKING ltsp.conf file, and the one I got from here (which I ripped the comments out of, and changed IP, and repaced .kpxe and .efi with .0)

                  I also ensured I had the .0 files, too.

                    I use my router’s dnsmasq now, but this is my old working FOG dhcpd.conf that should do the trick.

                    Change the IP’s/bootfiles to suite your needs.

                    [CODE]# DHCP Server Configuration file.

                    see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample

                    This file was created by FOG

                    use-host-decl-names on;
                    ddns-update-style interim;
                    ignore client-updates;
                    next-server 10.0.0.5;
                    option arch code 93 = unsigned integer 16;

                    if option arch = 00:07 {
                    filename “snp.efi”;
                    }else if option arch = 00:06 {
                    filename “ipxe.efi”;
                    }else {
                    filename “undionly.kpxe”;
                    }

                    subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                    option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

                              for windows server 2012 DHCP, it was as simple as the link Wayne Workman posted.
                              [url]http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-January/021404.html[/url] create vendor class that matches uefi systems ([I][COLOR=#000000]PXEClient:Arch:00007[/COLOR][/I]) and give those that match a different bootfile (in my case, ipxe.efi)

                                I see… interesting. This may be the direction that things have to go. DnsMasq seems in sufficient for EFI PXE and some older PXE clients. I’m still going to try a few things with it, but otherwise we might just have to make good documentation on the changes to make to a Windows 2012+ DHCP and a Linux DHCP to achieve coexistence. I will work on the Windows 2012 DHCP configs eventually (assuming DnsMasq fails me), but I will need to spin up a new 2012 server and integrate it to our domain first.

                                    Has anyone tried either of my configs I posted? Both of them properly serve legacy/efi bootfiles.
