PXE-E32: TFTP Open Timeout

SYMPTOM When the PXE client comes up with the PXE copyright message and completes the DHCP phase, but then displays: TFTP.... After a while, the following error message is displayed: PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout Depending on the PXE client's system setup boot device list configuration, the PC then either stops or tries to boot from the next boot device in the system setup boot device list. CAUSE 1 The "PXE-E32" error indicates that the PXE did not get a reply from the TFTP server when sending a request to download its boot file. Possible causes for this problem are: 1. There is no TFTP server 2. The TFTP server is not running 3. TFTP and DHCP/BOOTP services are running on different machines, but the next-server (066) option was not specified RESOLUTION 1 Make sure that a TFTP server is set up and running. When the TFTP service is running on a different machine than the DHCP or BOOTP service, you need to add option 066 (next-server) to the DHCP/BOOTP server configuration, an...

"Bootmgr is missing" from deployed .wim file

BOOTMGR errors is if your PC is trying to boot from a drive that is not properly configured.  In other words, it’s trying to boot from a  non-bootable  source. Cause: This error occurs when either of the following conditions is true: The Windows Boot Manager (Bootmgr) entry is not present in the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store. The Boot\BCD file on the active partition is damaged or missing. It is most likely the captured wim image had a corrupt/missing Bootmgr record. Open WInPE and run the command below. bcdboot c:\windows /s c: Now you should recapture the Wim and test a new Task Sequence deployment. Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd   http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927391 Here is the content of that article: Resolution: Method 1: Repair the BCD store by using the Startup Repair option You can use the Startup Repair option in the Windows Recovery Environment to repair the BCD store. To do this, follow these steps: Put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and t...

How to send internet traffic out the ISP (not through the BES server)

http://www.blackberryforums.com.au/forums/general-bes-discussion/3946-how-send-internet-traffic-out-isp-not-through-bes-server.html When you are on BES you have the three browsers by default, they are Internet Browser (use BlackBerry APN), BlackBerry Browser (uses BES MDS service) and the Carrier’s WAP Browser (Vodafone Live). If you use Vodafone Live you change be charged extra for the data usage so this isn't really recommended. What you should do on the BES is go "I.T Policy > Default Policy > Browser Policy Group" and change the following: 1. MDS Browser Title = MDS Internet 2. Allow IBS Browser = True 3. MDS Browser Use Separate Icon = True After changing these policies you Internet Browser that uses the BES internet connection will be called "MDS Internet" and you should also see a separate "Browser" icon.

BES Troubleshooting Enterprise Activation

Troubleshooting the enterprise activation process can be broken down into 4 stages – when troubleshooting activation issues, let the process complete or until an error messages appears. For more help with Enterprise Activation issues – KB13852   1.1.1        Stage 1 – Authentication 1.       The BESAdmin creates a new user and assigns an activation password using the Blackberry Manager (4.1.x) or the Blackberry Administration Service (5.0.X). The user list store in the blackberry Configuration Database is updated with the new user name, email address, mailbox information, activation password, activation status and other user account information. Points of Failure – BAS, Configuration Database   2.       The Blackberry Dispatcher assigns the new user to a Blackberry Messaging Agent. The Blackberry Messaging Agent starts to monitor the user’s mailbox on the messaging server for new email messages.

Hubs, Bridges, Switches, Routers and Gateways

Hubs Hubs are used to build a LAN by connecting different computers in a star/hierarchal network topology, the most common type on LANs now a day. A hub is a very simple (or dumb) device, once it gets bits of data sent from computer A to B, it does not check the destination, instead, it forwards that signal to all other computers (B, C, D…) within the network. B will then pick it up while other nodes discard it. This amplifies that the traffic is shared. There are mainly two types of hubs: 1. Passive: The signal is forwarded as it is (so it doesn’t need power supply). 2. Active: The signal is amplified, so they work as repeaters. In fact they have been called multiport repeaters. (use power supply) Hubs can be connected to other hubs using an uplink port to extend the network. OSI Model: Hubs work on the physical layer (lowest layer). That’s the reason they can’t deal with addressing or data filtering. Switches Switches on the other hand are more advanced. Instead of broadcasting the...
