If there are machine in your database with 00:00 MAC addresses they could affect any machine you attempt to image with. Modify those records with anything besides 00:00 and see if any of your problem machines start to get policy.

Changed the query to show me the records for the MachineID in the screen shot from the same table; came back with a different laptop from the one with the error. However, I'm not sure if the machineID should be unique in this case; if it is then it looks like there is some duplication :( From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> On Behalf Of Daniel Ratliff Sent: 11 December 2013 19:31 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: pxe issues with some clients It's a possibility, but usually that is more widespread. Check the chain from last week with Garth Jones. His issue ended up being an RBA issue. I have seen previous issues with policies, as I mentioned in the thread. Another time I have seen issues with the clients reporting 00:00:00:00:00:00 MAC addresses. We used the below queries to find those clients, and have a stored proc that resets the MAC now. select * from Network_DATA where MACAddress00 = '00:00:00:00:00:00' select * from System_MAC_Addres_ARR where MAC_Addresses0 = '00:00:00:00:00:00' Daniel Ratliff From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stuart Watret Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 2:05 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: pxe issues with some clients I think it's a db latency issue; but thought I'd see if it was just me :) From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel Ratliff Sent: 11 December 2013 18:51 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: pxe issues with some clients Does it happen to the same machines over and over? They always fail?

Pxe booting machines manually added to a collection with mandatory OSD deployment. Most machines work; 500+ in last couple of weeks. About 4 machines, different models, fail to pickup the advert. The MAC in the pxe log matches the one in the manually created record in SCCM. Pxe log just says: [cid:[email protected]] Comparing this to a good pxe boot the "Client boot action reply" part is noticeably lacking in info. It's not happening enough to raise it with MS; but enough to be annoying :) Tried cycling the service, deleting the record and re-creating with no effect.
