PXE Boot: File not found/TFPT Error – File not Found
From the archive (2009). Written for the tools of the time, so some details may be out of date.
Recently configured RIS on one of my secondary sites. I was getting a File not Found error when i attempted to PXE boot a VM. This the error i was receiving.
PXE-T01: File not found
PXE-E3b: TFTP error – file not found

Turns out that RIS/WDS was looking for pxeboot.com which didn’t exist in the remoteinstall\boot\x86 folder on my secondary site. That’s fine, i don’t need to use that anyways since i’m running in legacy mode. So i simply reconfigured WDS to look for startrom.com and then i was able to PXE boot my VM and image my machine using the SMS installation CD.
