PXE boot issues in newer DELL product.
Hi Guys.
I am having some issues with these newer models of Dell not being able to
PXE boot Because there is no LEGACY option anymore.
So the "Boot into NIC" is not available without legacy mode.
When I enable UEFI network stack in the Bios options, I am
NEVER able to boot into the Kace server.
I always have to resort to booting into a USB KBE for these models.
Am I missing something here?
Isn't the "UEFI IPV4 NIC" supposed to do what the Legacy version did?

since the NIC driver is not avaiable (as you found out already) you need to build a new KBE.
1. clean out \\SDA\drivers
2. install the current Dell Driver pack (KBE driver pack) https://support.quest.com/kace-systems-deployment-appliance/7.2/download-new-releases
3. install the latest ADK and the WinPE Update
4. upload the extracted driver from the Dell page to the drivers\ folder
5. build the KBE
6. test

Hey Nico_k.
I do have the latest driver Pack and KBE's
But the issue is not with that.
It dies not even get to the KBE selection page.
It just says there is no media on no Bootable device
found.
UEFI network stack cannot find the KACE server.
I am wondering if this has to do with myDHCP setting
having legacy boot settings....i.e, undionly.kpxe - akmagnum 3 years ago-
yes, if you have only undionly.kpxe only legacy boot will work.
review https://support.quest.com/kb/217556 for more info.
you can also use the internal DHCP server if you like - Nico_K 3 years ago
