Using 2PXE

The simplest option for PXE booting the DeployR boot images is using the 2Pint Software 2PXE service. See the 2PXE documentation for information on installation and configuration.

To support DeployR, you can enable the PowerShell Integrated Installation option, either at install time or later by editing the 2Pint.2PXE.Service.exe.config file to set the "EnablePowerShellExtension" value to "1". Then, edit the "PowerShellBootExtensionBootImages.ps1" script to add an entry near the bottom of the script:

Restart the 2PXE service after making configuration or script changes.

During the Windows PE boot image generation process, DeployR will automatically copy the needed files to a location where 2PXE can find them.

Note: 2PXE does not yet support ARM64 booting. The PowerShell extension does not support Linux booting, although it is possible to use the Configuration Manager extension to add Linux or Windows custom menu options. See the 2PXE documentation for more information.
