07/18/2024, 7:16 PMI’ve not done EFI in PVS before and running into some conflicting stuff in docs. Looking at @Carl Stalhood’s site (https://www.carlstalhood.com/provisioning-services-server-install/#tftp) it says that same subnet you should only need DHCP option 11, but I cannot get the machines to boot without also specifying option 67 and 67.
The DHCP server is not on the PVS servers, does that matter?

07/18/2024, 7:38 PMyou can def do bdm wiht EFI where does it say that wont work? Are you trying to to do both bios and EFI at the same time on the same network using PXE? That you cnt do easily. Foe EFI the extra thing you need is 017 Root Path to set the port if you use a non standard starting port. That one got me when i was testing EFI.
