  • I get "Could Not Create PXE Boot File" message after a long time-out clicking on the "Deploy Image" button.

    This happens only on 1 com server the other locations work without problems after the upgrade to 1.5.5, using the same database.

    Enabling debug on the log files this is what i get:

    The scheduled tasks(imaging tasks) are unable to be created i think, but I am unable to trace where to search where the security rights are wrong or broken, problem is mayby something else.

    On the problem server I installed the ADK for WIE, no problems with the installation or creating a winpe image. Before the error/update the option "Deploy Image Via Toec" worked without any problems!!

    Who has the knowledge to solve this problem or put me on the right track?


  • In admin settings -> about is the com server displaying the correct version?

    SRV-IMG2 is the problem server. It is the main server full install with database etc...
