Hello IA forum and Tyler M.

I'm new to Image Assist and am actually ready to send my newly created custom Image to Dell for our next ~40 laptop order. I really like the Dell PE and image creation/restore process especially in the ESX environment for creation/testing, and easily installing the CAB files to different models of Dell laptops.

I have a question about PXE booting. I currently have Win Deployment Services on a Windows Server 2008r2 hacked so Syslinux boots first. From here I'm able to continue onto WDS or boot into Linux based tools from ISOs like Clonezilla, DBAN, memtest, etc. I would love to be able to have a PXE bootable Dell PE environment on my WDS/Syslinux server. I am actually able to PXE boot the Dell PE DVD_ISO created within my VM environment but when it gets to the Dell splash screen it throws the below error. I'm wondering if you know of any way around it to PXE boot the Dell PE (I know this wouldn't be an officially supported method, just wondering). Thanks!
