Scenario:- ServerA :- Installed with AD and DNS
Server B:- Installed with SCCM,DHCP,WDS with PXE Service point
1) You have configured WDS
You have created
2) Boot image with drivers added and copied pkg to PXE DP and default DP
3) Operating system image and copied pkg to PXE DP and default DP
4) Task sequence & advertisement
5) Added bare metal machines mac address to the advertise collection
What do you do if Image boot with boot image and after the PE background
appears it'd hang for a few minutes then restart.?
Solution:-
You should check Enable command support (For testing only)" on Windows PE tab on your Boot image properties.
1) Turned on a
command shell in PE by pressing F8 .(Thanks to introductory Blogacast on OSD by Brain(Brian))
2) Go to location x:\windows\temp\smsts. Open SMSts.log.
3) If you found error "failed to download pxe variable file" as the first error followed by "pxegetpxedata failed" also if you run ipconfig on command prompt, sometimes its shows 169 range ip and sometimes its shows correct one.
4) Enable PortFast on your CISCO switches. By Enabling PortFast on you will able to deploy OS through PXE.(It works for me)

What do you do if bare metal image is giving TFTP time out while booting ?
Solution:-
MS doc says that if you have install WDS and DHCP on the same server then follow the process which is given in the link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680753.aspx
I have tried the process given in the link (WDSUTIL /Set-Server /UseDHCPPorts:No /DHCPOption60:Yes) but this didn't work for me its giving me error, "WDS is not configured".
I have configured WDS pl.on the following tab's and TFTP time out error gone at the booting .Check following pic.
