  • To pxe boot a workstation to a KACE 2000 deployment server when you are using a Novell DHCP server use the following configuration.

    1. Remove DHCP option 60 if it exists.
    2. Remove DHCP options 66 and 67 if they exist.
    3. Using iManager:
    Under DHCP, select 'Subnet Management'
    Select View/Modify Subnet
    Select the subnet you want to configure
    Select Next to go to the next page
    Select 'Enable' under 'Boot Parameter Options:'
    Fill in Server Address, Server Name, and Boot File Name
    Select 'Next', then 'Done'
    Or,
    Using the 'DNS/DHCP Management Console':
    Select the subnet you are trying to configure
    Select the 'Subnet Options' tab
    Check the 'Set Boot Parameter Option' checkbox
    Fill in 'Server Address:', 'Server Name:', and 'Boot File Name:'
    4. Shutdown and restart DHCP

    In our environment the AUTOEXEC.NCF file called the ZfDStart.ncf that in turn called pxeStart.ncf. You should be able to comment out the call to pxeStart.ncf. It starts tftp.nlm, pdhcp.nlm, and dts.nlm. If you are not using ZENworks preboot services or ZENworks imaging services you should not need these nlms anymore. There may be more ZENworks related services that you can shut down, but that depends on your configuration and how you use it.
