Hello,
We have used IP helper for years until the network team insisted to introduce 
DHCP options. I was aware of possible problems but we did change the 
configuration.
We use DHCP options already more than a year, rolled out hundreds machines  - 
no single error. Works perfect.
I must mention we do not use Microsoft DHCP.

Regards,
Hanna

Subject: [mssms] ConfigMgr 2012 R2 OSD + PXE :: IP Helper vs. DHCP Options

Over the past years that I have worked with Configuration Manager, I have 
learned to use IP helpers instead of DHCP options, to point client systems to a 
Windows Deployment Services (WDS) / PXE service. I have personally experienced 
multiple instances at customer sites, just over the past year, where DHCP 
options have simply not worked as expected, and caused erroneous error messages 
during PXE boot. As soon as we implement IP helpers, everything "just works."

I am interested in gathering feedback from people on this mailing list to 
confirm or deny my current understanding on this topic. Do you use DHCP options 
or IP helper to point clients to the WDS/PXE service? Have you had a negative 
experience using one or the other?

Cheers,
