Log Files: The following log files are specific to PXE Servers and, if enabled, log the
information to the filename you specify and store it in the PXE folder on each PXE Server
across the network.
PXE Server Log
PXE MTFTP Log
Packet Parser Log
DS Traffic Log
Config Service Log
PXE Manager Log
Config Utility Log
The PXE Manager Log writes data to the filename you specify and stores it in the PXE
folder on the Deployment Server.
Level: Select the type of data you want to write in the log files. Each level in the list
includes more details to the log files of the previous level.
Filename: Enter a name for the log file you enabled if you do not want to use the
default name.
You can view the status of the PXE servers in your environment and track whether the
updates have been applied to the PXE server.
You can install a PXE Server to any remote location on your network using this feature.
However, all remote installations must be "pushed" from the Deployment Server.
Example: Your business home office is in Washington and you have two smaller offices
in Los Angeles and Australia. You can use the Remote PXE Installation Wizard to install a
PXE Server to both locations from the Deployment Server in Washington.
Note:
DHCP services are required on the network to make the PXE Server function correctly.
