      @Charlee593 You have to set the filtering up for the vendor class identifier. The youtube video below shows this. But you’d use the string from our article, not the stuff that guy types in.

      I’d be more than happy to assist with this in about 2 hours when I’m home.

        @Wayne-Workman This the value of the ‘PXEClient (UEFI x64)’ vendor class. I also tried ‘PXEClient:Arch:00008’, ‘PXEClient:Arch:00009’, ‘PXEClient:Arch:00006’, it only boot to bios.

          @Charlee593 So, you can use Wireshark to see what the device identifies as in it’s DHCP request.

          In wireshark, you can look for the booted device’s DHCP request, drill down in that packet to Option 60. That’s the vendor identifier string from the host.

          If it isn’t identifying as a UEFI device, then your policy won’t apply because… it’s not booting as a UEFI device.

          You have to have a UEFI device in order for your DHCP policy to apply to it.

          Again, I’m very willing to help out with this. Just contact me via in-forum chat.

          I want to help you get this working - probably at least equally as much as you want to get it working.

            This is tempting me… but I must stick to my guns on migrating away from our 2008R2 servers. Still, I am interested in this too. For science.

              @need2 if for no other reason, let’s get it working just to provide documentation on the process in server 2008.

                @Wayne-Workman Is the packet highlighted below the option 60 you mentions? It looks like it still requesting ‘undionly.kpxe’.

                This how the vendor class is defined.

                  @Charlee593 Yes, that is the Option 060 I was talking about.

                  So this particular client is identifying as PXEClient:Arch:00009

                  You don’t have to have the rest of what it identifies as.

                  Far below, in this post:

                  I’ve noticed that there is no “Class” set for your UEFI Option settings. My DHCP Server settings in Server 2012 R1 do not look like this. Here is a screenshot from my server:

                  I am not sure how it’s SUPPOSED to look like in Server 2008… But I’m trying to help.

                    @Wayne-Workman Thanks for the help. The highlighted section below are the class options, by default it chooses the User Class. If User class is chosen then it will display ‘None’. I try creating a user class with value ‘PXEClient:Arch:00009’ but it gave me a error saying that the value has already define. What else can I try?

                      @Charlee593 Interesting. What I do know is - when you get the Vendor Class configured correctly, the client should ask for ipxe.efi instead of undionly.kpxe. Somehow it’s not applied correctly.
