Hello All
Been banging my head a against this problem for a couple days now and posted the below in the VMware forums also to cover all bases.
I'm trying to get a VM to spin up on VMworkstation 14.1.2 using UEFI boot and install Windows 10, via WDS. My WDS server also a workstation vm on the same host, which works perfectly deploying to BIOS based vm's.
In the create a new VM wizard on Workstation i have selected windows 10 and UEFI boot. Ensured its on the right network
but when it trys to PXE boot it just says:
>>Start PXE over IPv4.
It then just returns me to the boot menu to select hdd, cd or network. I also tried loading the win10 iso into the vm's virtual cd drive and tried to boot with UEFI and i have the same problem
I have read numerous forum posts, one said you need to add DHCP options 66 & 67 which i did but had not effect. And as mentioned above i load the win10 "cd" to its local "cd drive" and it still couldnt boot UEFI.
Given that it wont boot from the "cd" in UEFI, suggest i have an issue with booting in UEFI as a whole and not a PXE issue, would you agree??
Has anyone been able to use VMware workstation to spin up a UEFI VM? Can anyone offer any ideas??
Its a very basic network setup that i have created just to test the fundamentals of WDS, which is list below: Both servers are domain joined and are VM's on Workstation 14.1.2 all on the same network (VMNET02) on the same host
Server 2012: DC with DHCP and DNS
Server 2012: WDS
Apologies for the lack of screen caps, but still waiting for this account to be verified so i can post pics
Thanks in advance
