Re: PXE boot failed after I changed IP

** I beleive you need to also regenerate the PXE images. ***

You can pull up this article on: http://kb.altiris.com

What changes need to be made to Deployment Server if the server IP address is changed?


---------------------------------------------
Answer


Before making changes to the Deployment server, consider the Deployment Server aclient settings on managed computers that will need to be redirected to the new IP address. It may be necessary to change agent settings for the new IP address BEFORE changing the IP address on the server.

Then update the following three files with the new IP address of DS and/or the PXE server:
â ¦\eXpress\deployment server\default.cfg
â ¦\eXpress\deployment server\pxe\pxe.ini
â ¦\eXpress\deployment server\pxe\rpc.ini (DS 6.5 or later only)
Edit all PXE Configurations and any Boot Disk configurations with the new IP address.

After making these changes, be sure to restart the Altiris eXpress Server and/or PXE server services. Also change the scope of the DHCP Server if DHCP is running on the same computer.
