From that same screen where you get the error what are the results of running IPCONFIG?
It sounds like you do not have the correct drivers in your KBE. I would add the correct ones and build a new KBE.
These links may help.

K1000 KKE's: https://support.software.dell.com/k1000-systems-management-appliance/kb?k=KKE
with "ERROR: Unable to determine server IP address from DHCP"
Check that your options 66&67 are configured on that subnet you are booting on
see page 37 of
http://www.kace.com/support/resources/~/media/Files/Support/Documentation/K2000-Admin-Guide-v34.ashx
It could be that you do not have propper drivers injected into your boot media, OR that your media is unable to pick up the DHCP information for your KBOX, this usually happens when you're running another tandem pxe boot service (here we run KACE and WDS as two side by side boot services) or if your DHCP options arent configured correctly, either way you'll need to get a hold of the KNIT (link provided below) and punch in the static information for your KBOX.

The links provided by dugullett should help you on the way to recreating your boot media also.

Dear Roonerspism,
For our company we use switch level 3 for DHCP and Dell Technical advise we use this config for that switch. (Please see below)
ip dhcp pool name
network ip subnet
bootfile k2000.0
next-server ip_of_kbox
default-router gateway
dns-server dns1 dns2 dn3
lease 0 4
Did you have experience before about use switch level 3 for deploy OS with K2000? Please advise me thanks - manpang 11 years ago -
So long as the iphelper is configured on your core/switching infrastructure that should all be good (I'm the soe/deployment guy here not so much the infrastructure guru)
Maybe try the KNIT and build some boot media which references the kbox ip directly just in case. I've never used the K2 with a switch as the dhcp, always win2k8r2. It may be that the current boot media is looking for the options usually provided by operating system bound dhcp servers and your switch is unable to serve this information. - Roonerspism 11 years ago
Dear All,
Now I can setup level 3 Switch for PXE Boot already but I still can't deploy OS to client machine so could you please advise me step by step how to setup script on K2000 for deploy OS to client.
PS. After I PXE Boot my client machine can detect K2000 and loading image but after restart it show error:
Bootmgr is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+ Del to restart

most likely partitions of target are different then script - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago
I had the same problem running virtual machine environment... and the problem solved it self when i installed correct NIC... so try to download correct driver for your NIC and see what happen...
Drivers is still not right yet.
