Hi,
Are you noticing any logged errors or are the clients just not
receiving the pxe boot file? Can you look for the log messages that
pertain to testing for matches to each class? It might be best to
work with one type of client at a time to get things working correctly
for that client. Lessons learned will apply to the other clients.
Thank you,
Darren Ankney
