Change IP Address for PXE

In this White Paper you can find the way to change the IP Address for a PXE Server.

Altiris AKB2401.

Or try this:

Change Altiris Deployment/PXE IP adress.
Stop All Altiris DS services.
Change IP i these Files:
C:\Program Files\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment Server\default.cfg
C:\Program Files\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment Server\PXE\PXE.ini
C:\Program Files\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment Server\aclient.inp
and the %name%\%name%.bdc Files under
C:\Program Files\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment Server\Bootwiz\config\

Start Altiris DS Services.
Change Bootdisks IP
Start DS Console (Not Webconsole)
Open PXE Configurator
Mark The Bootdisk you want to change
Select Make Boot Files
Change The line (set CONIP=-ip192.168.0.1) in autoexec.bat and startnet.bat
Right click on Th Bootdisk an select Make Boot File
Close and Repeat For all Bootdisks

Just an add-on to this excellent article.As I installed PXE Server after changing IP, there were no \PXE\PXE.INI to change in, and the PXE Server Service refused to start after the installation. I sorted it out by changing adress in \PXE\RPC.ini as well. Then PXE.ini gets created automatically, and the service started as it should.
