Hello Everyone ,

I would appreciate any help as I am having trouble with PXE booting on our mixed-environment network. So far, FOG Project has proven to be an excellent tool for managing our imaging process. We’ve encountered a barrier, though, that I can’t seem to go over.

Configuring a Network:

• A mixed environment featuring legacy BIOS and UEFI systems.
• Ubuntu 20.04 operating on the FOG server.
• On a different Windows Server 2019 computer, the DHCP server is configured.
• Workstations from Dell, HP, and Lenovo in various models.
• Problem: Some of our UEFI computers fail to obtain an IP address during PXE boot attempts, while others appear to continue but finally clock out with a “No configuration methods succeeded” error.

What’s interesting is that PXE boots up without any problems on Legacy BIOS computers.

What I’ve Attempting:

• made sure the DHCP options 66 and 67 are configured properly. I’ve set ipxe.efi as option 67 for UEFI.
• Confirmed that TFTP is operating and that the FOG server has the appropriate permissions.
• Verified that network boot is enabled and selected as the default boot option by looking through the BIOS options.
• both the DHCP and FOG servers were restarted.
• I looked for comparable problems in the FOG wiki and forums, but I wasn’t able to find a clear answer.

Extra Details:

• We employ both dynamic and static IP addresses in our network.
• It appears that the problem varies amongst UEFI devices.
• Older BIOS systems regularly and flawlessly boot into PXE.

I’m contacting you to check if anyone has encountered problems similar to mine or can offer golang troubleshooting tips that I may have overlooked. Any advice or insights would be very valued!

Thank You in Advance.
