Quick Install for Microsoft Configuration Manager

Best Practice recommendation is to build a new DP and install the 2PXE server onto that machine. If you must install it onto an existing DP that is running WDS and/or PXE servicing, then please ensure that you first disable these.

1. If you have a SCCM PXE Service Point installed – remove it.

2. If Windows Deployment Services is installed, remove or at least stop/disable the service.

3. Ensure access to the SQL DB:

• Add the service account (default is the machine account of the Distribution Point) to the ConfigMgr_DViewAccess local group on the Configuration Manager SQL Server

1. Install the MSI interactively

   1. Make sure you select Configuration Manager integrated and Bind to a single IP. Leave all other values as default

• 1. If you are using HTTP, and the DP is not in anonymous mode, you need to define an iPXE Network Access Account.

• 1. Let the installer do it’s thing

1. Welcome to the future! PXE Boot a Machine.
