It's a very helpful discussion.
Let me fully understand each service functionality then I will know which is my best choice for my network.
- That PXE representative's job is to pick up the PXE - DHCP requests in each broadcast domain and fobs them off to the Core Server via civilised TCP and essentially goes "Hey - so I got this guy ... do I need to do anything with him?" ... and they handle it from there. So we're quite router friendly in that regard, since you don't NEED to do any UDP-forwarding or anything like that.
The Client Self-Electing Platform (CSEP), is this working as the same as setting DHCP server scope 66 and 67 to server address and boot file path? Therefore, I don't need any PXE representative because I have the DHCP server settings.
... it's really quite simple. Yes, it is simple but people make it convoluted.
My intention is not to set up the client self-electing services on each subnet because some of our subnet might not have landesk client on all the time.
However, I would like to get rid of the WDS.
what does ivanti recommend?
