I am testing BDD 2007 and WDS on a Windows 2003
Server.
I have a PXE Server with tftpd32 and pxelinux boot.
Is it possible to have a menu entry that chain the
first pxe booting(pxelinux) to the WDS Server which is
on a different computer because I can't install WDS on
the TFTP pxelinux.
I have testing this entry:
LABEL TEST WDS
kernel ipadress::pxeboot.0
but the first server always respond for transfering
files after choosing this entry.
Thanks for ideas
Nicolas

Well, we have that setup, and here's how I've done this.
We've had to put all of the pxelinux code and config files on the WDS
server.
In the WDS Manager, you'll need to turn off the option "Respond on port
67"
Setup pxelinux like you normally do, and add an entry like this:
LABEL WDS/RIS
Kernel /boot/x64/pxeboot.0 keeppxe
Then.... here's the hard part:
You may have to re-configure your bcd file, or create a new one, I'm still
trying to work out the details or instructions on some of these and will post a
how-to later next week.

The issue here is that after booting, the WDS server will ask PXE for the DHCP packet... which of course will point it right back. In theory it's possible to modify the DHCP packet in memory, but: a. it's known not to work on some PXE stacks; b. surgery on a DHCP packet is a fairly delicate operation. (a) is a bigger problem than (b); the server IP and pathname happen to have dedicated locations in the DHCP packet which makes it slightly less cantankerous. If I produce a patch to do that (warning: may not happen for a few weeks, depending on how other committments go), would you be willing to test it out? -hpa

I can't find the link at the moment, but I will try searching for it later.. otherwise perhaps a google search for 'pxelinux WDS' would reveal it's location. It seemed like a simple setup. throw WDS into compatibility mode and create a template, copy over the files and have fun.. -Andrew
