      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;
          range dynamic-bootp 10.0.0.200 10.0.0.254;
          default-lease-time 21600;
          max-lease-time 43200;
          option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1;
          option routers 10.0.0.1;
          }
          [/CODE]

            dhcp-match=set:efi-x86_64,option:client-arch,7
            dhcp-boot=tag:efi-x86_64,snp.efi,FOG,10.0.0.3

                    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.

                                      None. Just replace [B]FOG[/B] with your FOG server’s hostname and replace [B]10.0.0.3[/B] with your FOG server’s IP.

                                      I goofed on the last line, it should read [I][FONT=Consolas]dhcp-range=[/FONT][/I][B][I][FONT=Consolas]10.0.0.0[/FONT][/I][/B][I][FONT=Consolas],proxy,255.255.255.0[/FONT][/I]

                                      For that, replace [B]10.0.0.0[/B] with your network’s address.

                                      And if you want to change any of the bootfiles to different ones have at it.

                                        Well, 10.0.0.3 IS my home FOG server’s IP address. It’s a private address, not public, and it’s home so I don’t care about sharing here.

                                        And my network’s address is 10.0.0.0 I set my house up like that for simplicity… it’s easier to type than that dumb 192.168.1 BS that most home DHCP is configured with.

                                          The dhcp-range line, I recommend, being set to your fog server. It will automatically work on the network your fogserver is on. If you’re actually trying to use a range of IP’s for Proxy to hand out then you would have something like:
                                          [code]dhcp-range=10.0.0.0,10.0.0.255,proxy,255.255.255.0[/code]

                                          However this is more than overkill. I think it highly unlikely you will be handing more than the network allowed (253 – e.g. gateway, network, broadcast) of your fog server’s possibilities.

                                          If you know you’ll be hitting more than that at any time, just open the subnet to a higher range. Whatever the IP is set will be the same network the proxy hands out within.

                                            [quote=“Junkhacker, post: 46793, member: 21583”]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)[/quote]

                                            Did you got this up and running?
                                            I created the Vendor Class, created the policy, downloaded ipxe.efi and updated the DHCP server settings in 2012R2

                                            Legacy Boot + undionly.kpxe ~ working
                                            UEFI boot + ipxe.efi ~ [B]not working[/B]

                                            [B]edit:[/B] typo ([I]ipxe.kpxe[/I] should have been[I] ipxe.efi[/I])
