Re: Install Windows 2012 from ERPXE

You need to setup any DHCP server so that the clients will get PXE configuration.
if you don't have any DHCP server then setup one on your ERPXE machine, its the easiest solution.

Re: Install Windows 2012 from ERPXE

You can use WinPE to load a basic windows environment and run the installation from a network share.
You will need to customize WinPE for it to hold the network drivers for your PCs.

Re: Stupid first timers....

You need to configure your DHCP server:
http://erpxe.org/DHCP_Configuration

When you are done just boot any client from network.

Re: ERPXE - Vmware Installs

the first prob is the mboot file you are using, use the mboot file included in the vmware iso. make sure to edit the boot.cfg included in the cd, it should be something like this: bootstate=0 title=Loading ESXi installer kernel=/er/plugins/vmware/esxi5/tboot.b00 kernelopt=runweasel prefix=/er/plugin...

Re: Per client boot config

The first file requested is the UUID of the client, to speed things up you can use it instead of mac address and you wont have to wait for the first timeout. mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/b8945908-d6a6-41a9-611d-74a6ab80b83d mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd mybootdir/pxelinux.cfg/C0A8025B myboot...

Re: Per client boot config

Re: Per client boot config

You can create a unique coot menu per client, all you need is to calculate the IP Address of the client in hex format and create a separate boot file. this script will help you calculate the necessary file name, for example: echo "Please input SUBNET or IP, for example 10.0.0" read IP_ADDR # Convert...
