configuring. PXE configurations are stored in the default directory, which is C:\Program
Files\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment Server\PXE\Images\MenuOption<number>. The
MenuOption number increments each time you create a new configuration.
In the Shared Configuration mode, only the Shared configuration appears in the view
section on the Boot Menu tab. The Edit option is enabled when you select any of the
Shared boot menu options. However, if you are in Customize PXE Server: <server

Edit.
