Never got an error, it would just time out looking for the PXE server, and then boot on into the OS that was already preloaded. I went through MS support on that one, and after checking PXE settings (we’re using IP helper, which I’m told is necessary to image UEFI devices), and confirming those were good, it was recommended to get a MS USB Ethernet adapter. Go that, plugged it in, and it immediately saw that PXE connection and acted normal from there out.
