When configuring a DP as a PXE point you might see this line in the distmgr.log file stating SCCM failed to configure PXE.
“CDistributionManager::ConfigurePXE failed; 0x80041001″
Now, in SCCM 2012, config manager itself will usually want to do all the configuring of WDS and creating the RemoteInstall folder on the DP, but may not in all cases be successful.
If you see WDS is being installed, but no RemoteInstall folder and the error above in the log, try the following:
1. Deactivate PXE on DP from the Management Server and choose to not automatically uninstall WDS
2. Uninstall WDS from DP and restart
3. Install WDS from Server Manager and restart
4. Activate PXE on DP.
You should now soon see the RemoteInstall folder being created and boot images that you have specified as PXE bootable will be populated in the SMSImages folder.
