@Quazz Yep, after shutdown and wol i get pxe. It may well be a bios issue, but I think the hybrid shutdown is happening even when fast startup is disabled. I have just put the question on Dell forums, I’ll see if they have any ideas and report back if they do.

@Quazz That’s what i see. default behaviour is full shutdown is fine. restart and the problem exists. remove wol and all power saving settings from the windows nic driver, the restart works fine with pxe, put just wol back on, problem returns. So it does pxe but only after a complete shutdown.

@Quazz Thing is, fast startup is off. It’s got me flummoxed.

@Tom-Elliott @george1421 @Quazz Thanks for the info, Don’t suppose there is a “full shutdown” restart command you know of? I often use remote restart from powershell, maybe I should look into a wee script.

@george1421 I think that’s the issue but I can’t find a way to get both WoL and pxe working from a restart as we use both and often restart the computers to image.

@Tom-Elliott Hi, it’s set to ipxe.efi as default. But I think the problem is before pxe, almost like it’s in a hibernate state till windows starts

@george1421 @Quazz Thanks for this. There was a bios update it’s at A15 now but still the same problem. It’s almost like a switch is set on the nic and isn’t reset until it goes through hard shutdown. Maybe Dell will have the answer.

@Quazz Yep, When i restart with wol disabled on the nic through windows, It picks up an IP and boots to pxe, turn wol on, after a restart it times out at getting an ip. All other energy saving is disabled on the nic. Also has the latest drivers.

Thanks Wayne. It’s something to try I suppose, Nothing else seems to work. It seems when WoL is enabled, after a restart the nic doesn’t even look for an IP at boot even though it’s set to boot from ipv4, and comes up saying its trying. If i shut it down and let it sit or do a cold power off, it works. I think it’s to do with the windows 10 hybrid shutdown. Not having pxe on a reboot is a real pain.

Description

I have a wee bug I think is with intel nic. Using windows 10 enterprise, the nic is I217-lm on board a Dell Optiplex 9030 AIO. I can boot to pxe with WoL disabled on the card or I can enable WoL and use it but pxe doesn’t work. I am using uefi only with ipv4. Has anyone seen this before?
