Unable to PXE boot 2nd Gen XPS12 9Q33 ultrabook to K2000
I need some Help, I have nearly 100 XPS 12 9Q33 ultrabooks on our way and I cant for the life of me get the latest XPS12 9Q33 ultrabooks to boot to the Kace via the StarTech usb to ethernet adapter that Dell recamends. We have the first gen XPS 12 9q23 and it works perfectly, I use the same USB to ethernet adapter switch all the booting to legacy and turn secure boot off and it works perfectly, but i try the same thing for the latest XPS12 9q33 it doesnt work, i get the "Unable to mount Kbox share at" error. I have the latest Driver for PE 3.0 and 4.0 and the latest Network drivers loaded, the PE boot images are all up to date, tried the password on the share trick etc and nothing works, I have a help desk ticket into Kace and currently in level 3 but no solution yet.

(any thing like legacy vs uefi, secure boot) - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
If you can get the main menu go into recovery and open a command window, do ipconfig /all see if the nic even shows and just is not getting an ip. If you have no nic showing you need to look at the drivers. To help tshoot you can put them on a stick and load them manually with dvrload and then reinitialize the network to see if you get an IP. You can keep doing this till you get an ip and then you know you have the proper driver loaded. - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
on that stick you created we have two methods:
1: edit the boot.wim on the stick and put an exit command in the startnet.cmd so you are left with a prompt when it fails.
2. rename and replace the boot .wim file with the original from the WAIK/ADK x86/x64 directory located on your tech station. - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
also what model of star tech dongle are you using? - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
