But there are situations were using PXE can be useful, including: Why Boot Virtual Machines From The Network?Īs I said in the introduction, in a medium to large environment we will normally use SCVMM to deploy virtual machines not only will SCVMM deploy the virtual machine, but it will configure the guest OS (including the post-Syprep specialization), name the computer, join a workgroup/domain, and possibly even do other work for us if we configure it.
We will look at how you can use PXE to boot Hyper-V virtual machines off of the network in this post. But there are some scenarios where we will want to boot virtual machines off of a network using the preboot execution environment (PXE) to start a boot image and do some work. In a medium to large network, we will normally use System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) to do that work for us, and add a few extra bells and whistles to the deployment and automation processes.
In a previous post I showed you how you can deploy a Hyper-V virtual machine manually, and then create an image using Sysprep that you can deploy.
