HI, i am attempting to deploy an operating system image to a laptop and while attempting to boot to my MDT server the WDS download is taking a very long time and i checked another computer and it is not having the same problem.  usually it is getting stuck on the TFTP Download and i have checked the TFTp Max Download size and a bunch of other just and nothing gets this laptop to download the thing faster.  all my other computers boot at normal speeds on the WDS Server but the laptop is taking forever.  i have also rebooted the server and that did nothing.  Any suggestions?

The laptop is network booting off of a WDS (Windows Deployment Services) Server.  it has to run through an Ethernet cable to boot off of the network.

My network switch was to blame.  i dont know why because all the other computers on it work perfectly fine booting off the network but this laptop does not.  weird.  well at least i can get on with deploying the operating system.

@Dudefoxlive hey bud. 

 

Without getting more details it'll be hard to pinpoint what your issue is. It could range from a BIOS setting on the machine, bad cable or hardware limitations that we just arent aware of. 

 

What kind of laptop is it? do you have a model? Which BIOS version is it running on? etc etc

Literally pushed enter and saw your update lol! Good stuff. 

 

That's what I figured, it was either a cable or some environmental factor

it is a gateway NE56R41u and it is on the latest bios for the laptop which is V2.21.  i already found the problem though.  My network switch was the problem.
