[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011'
On your PC

I assume your new PC doesn't have "Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011"
Order placed on a new workstation which is experiencing problems, the feedback is "True"

Okay, so my assumption was wrong. Thanks for the feedback

Hello,

we are experiencing the same problem again with brand new HP PCs - model PROBOOK 4G1IR16 - purchased 2 days ago.
The package version is compile-ipxe version 0.07541-6.

Can you tell me if booting from a WinPE USB drive works?

Hello,

deployment with WinPE key is working correctly.

If deployment via USB key works but not via IPXE on certain models, the issue likely lies with IPXE.

You can try the "Hybrid" configuration without IPXE:

https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-wads.ht ... figuration.

This should work as it boots directly to efi/boot/bootmgfw.efi

Hello,

we just updated to version 2.6.1.17870. Now, whether we boot from PXE or the USB drive, we get the same error message:

"TASK #3: Server data"
Thttpclientsocket.openbind(srv-wapt.xx:443):is a server available on this address:port? [remoteip=] [#3 Not found]

The WAPT server does have an IP address; it is reachable. I tried to open a ticket on the support portal, but it's down: 502 Bad Gateway nginx

Judging by the message, DNS resolution was not working at the time of the request

We can see it because it reflects

Code: Select all

 [remoteip=] 
(no IP address)

We need to see if it's temporary or systematic, and find out why

You can do an nslookup with "srv-wapt.xx"

nslookup responds correctly
on the same network equipment, different port, continuous ping to non-DNS: no worries
, it's systematic regardless of the PC to be deployed or the network port used.
