Problem : Windows Deployment services Server
Hi,
i have physical server installed with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
i installed on this server System Center Configuration Manager R2 and SP2 version 4.00.6487.2000 with a stand alone SQL server.
i tried to deploy windows 7 image to 2 dell machines – the deployment was unsuccessfully
i rebooted the server and from that point a lots of problems appear:

Solution: Windows Deployment services Server
This error is caused because you are missing files from your remoteinstallsmsbootx86 or x64 directory and is generally caused by one of two things:
1. The x64 boot image has not been added to the PXE service point.
“But I’m only deploying an x86 boot image and OS,” I hear you say. It doesn’t matter. If the machine is x64 architecture (which all today’s new machines are), the boot ROM requested will be x64. This in no way effects your ability to use an x86 boot image; this boot ROM process is completely independent.
The solution is to add the x64 image to your PXE DP and update. You will then see the directory remoteinstallsmsbootx64 populated with files, and your good to go.
2.Even after you update your PXE DP, the files still don’t show up.
This is a common issue. When updating the DP, the WIM file is mounted (under C:windowstemp), all your modifications injected (such as drivers, custom backgrounds etc) and then packed back up into the boot wim pushed to the DP. At the same time, the boot ROM files were interested in are extracted to C:WindowstempPxebootfiles before being copied to remoteinstallsmsbootx86 or x64.
Sometimes the C:WindowstempPxebootfiles directory has something funky happen to it and doesn’t clean itself up correctly. So the difficult fix is — Delete the directory and re-distribute the package. (The directory is hidden, so make sure you set the option in Explorer so you can see it). You can also have a look at pxecontrol.log to see the extraction process and/or the error occurring.
