PXE will not bind to port 4011 on a Windows 2008 server that is running the Microsoft DHCP server service

Problem/Symptoms

PXE will not bind to port 4011 on a Windows 2008 server that is running the Microsoft DHCP server service

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install Windows 2008 Server and install the DHCP server service.
  2. Install Deployment Solution 6.9 SP1.
  3. PXE boot a client. PXE will not work.

Environment

Windows 2008 Server with DHCP server service installed and running
Deployment Solution 6.9 build 355


Resolution

Symantec is investigating this issue and will update this article when there is more information.

To work around this issue, change the PXE configuration from the default "auto-detect Microsoft DHCP" to "3rd party DHCP" and configure DHCP option 60 to "PXEClient".
