Make sure you have licenses so the client can check in. (You can check this in the help and about screen)

Thanks for your interest,

I add the DHCP option 066
now I'm able to boot via pxe with winPE

I'm new user to RDP !!!

I have another question.

I capture disk image from running windows 2008 OS, Then I try to deploy it.
when the target restarted it fail asking to repair the windows OS.

all what I need to take image from running OS
on c7000 blade and deploy it to another machine.
I try to install Aclint agent on one server
it installed successfully but still the information at RDP server for this client not updated ( such teaming, IP address )
RDP version is 3.82 SP1
target OS windows 2008

Regards

Nabil

Just for clarification.

When you install RDP and the PXE service and the MS DHCP service are on the same server it *should* automatically add option 60 to the DHCP service. Based on your information your target server and deployment server [DS] are on two different networks. Generally this means you need to configure a helper address on your router (must of the time it's two addresses one for the DHCP and one for the PXE {bootp}) that is servicing the target server. So your saying to only set option 66? This is interesting because you tend to need option 66 and 67. I'll have to try this.

Ok in regards to you image question...I'm not a fan of imaging so I'm not very deep in this topic. When you captured the image did you ensure the NICs where not teamed before capturing the image. Also on the server your capturing how did you land the OS? If you didn't use the RDP scripted install try landing a scripted install on a blade then do an image capture (without making any changes to the script or the OS that has landed).
