General Theory:This document contains step-by-step instructions
on how to create a PXE boot server for use with Ghost. PXE boot
will allow you to boot a device without a diskette or USB key. BIOS
may not be compatible on older machines.
Detailed Instructions:
1. Create PXE boot server.1.1. Obtain the DHCP-TFTP Server
program from \\systemrecovery\windows\applications\DHCP-TFTP.
Download the DHCP-TFTP-Server.exe file to your computer.1.2. Double
click the DHCP-TFTP-Server.exe file you just downloaded. It will
automatically install and create a shortcut on the desktop.
1.3. Copy the b57.img and e1000.img files to the C:\Program
Files\DHCP-TFTP-Server folder, and let it overwrite the old
files.
1.4. Double click the shortcut to launch the program. NOTE:
Because this program has a DHCP feature, you must disable it to use
the program over the network. If you leave it on, it must be
isolated from the network, so as not to conflict with the sites
existing DHCP server.
1.4.1. To use DHCP on the network, click the Settings box at the
bottom, and take the check out of the DHCP Server box, and click
OK.
1.4.2. At the server, open the DHCP program in Administrative
Tools, and select the scope and then right click Scope Options, and
select Scope Options. 1.4.3. Put a check in options 66 and 67. In
66, put the static IP address of the computer running the TFTP
program. In 67, put pxelinux.0.
2. Set up Ghostcast Server.
2.1. Follow the steps in the GhostGCV8.doc file to set up
Ghostcast server.
3. Set device to PXE boot.
3.1. Start the workstation to be booted, and press the F12 key
when prompted, to activate the boot menu. Select the LAN option.
NOTE: If that option is not shown, you must enter the BIOS screen
to set it as a boot option. Start the machine, and press F2 to
enter the BIOS screen. Look for the Integrated Devices tab, and set
the LAN device to Boot with PXE.
3.2. A menu will appear. Select the number that represents the
network card in the device. NOTE: If the screen does not show the
device type, refer to the end of the CreateBootableUSB document,
and use the number that corresponds. Card 1 is the default. If you
wish to change the default, go to the pxelinux.cfg folder and open
the Default file. Change the default from 1 to the desired number.
You can also change the wait time to a shorter period, by putting a
lower number in. The default is 600, which is about 30 seconds.
Change to 3 for an almost instant response. 3.3. Ghost will launch.
3.4. Follow steps in the GhostGCV8.doc file to connect to the
Ghostcast server.3.5. NOTE: Because the PXE server can only handle
one boot request at a time, you must wait until the Multicast
session connection screen appears before you can start the next
machine.3.6. After the machines finish being imaged, and you quit
Ghost, the Ghostwalker program will launch automatically.
3.7. Follow the steps in the GhostGCV8.doc file to complete the
Ghostwalker procedure.
