Seen when using WDS on Windows Server 2008 (and 2008 R2). When attempting to PXE boot a client machine, it sucessfully gets an IP address. But it times out at the TFTP stage.
This is a common occurance if the WDS server is also a DNS server. It happens on machines that have had the MS08-037 security update installed. Basically the ports that WDS needs are being reserved for DNS.
Solution
1. On the WDS server > Start > in the search/run box type regedit {enter}.
I’ve split this article away from this one, as it tripped me up this week again, so I think it deserves an article of its own.
Some ASA firewalls that shipped prior to February 2010 may need a hardware memory upgrade, before you can update them to version 8.3 and beyond. If not you will see the following;
