Boot from LAN is really useful if you have lots of computers. This article will guide you how to install OS through Network boot.IntroductionSince the early versions of AIO Boot, this tool has supported booting from the LAN. It supports you to do a lot of work such as installing OS, running tools to Ghost, managing partitions, backup and recovery.You just need a computer to replace the other bootable devices like USB, HDD and DVD Of course, clients need to have a connection with the server and have network boot support.
If you boot from USB, boot loader and operating systems will use the files on USB. If you boot from the LAN, the boot loader and operating systems will download the necessary files from the LAN. The advantage of network booting is that you will not need to attach boot devices to clients (except cables). If the data transfer rate in your LAN is slower than the read/write speed of boot devices such as USB, HDD or DVD, the speed is the downside of this method.AIO Boot supports Windows installation from network boot. You can install Windows by integrating ISO and using the Windows Installer or booting into WinPE and installing Windows manually. Most Linux distributions like, Debian, Linux Mint, Arch Linux are also supported. Configure PXE serverTo boot from LAN, you need to have a PXE server, a DHCP server, and a server to share files. You just need a computer to do all this.AIO Boot uses to create PXE server and DHCP server.
Run AIOCreator.exe, select Run PXE and select mode to run Tiny PXE Server. AIO Boot uses iPXE as boot loader, which supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI (32-bit and 64-bit) modes.Tiny PXE Server will run and be preconfigured.If the configuration is not correct, reconfigure it. Option 54 (DHCP Server): The IP address of the computer running Tiny PXE Server. This list contains the IP addresses of network adapters (including VirtualBox and VMware).

You need to select the correct IP address in the same local area network of the clients. Filename: Boot file of iPXE, you can choose another boot file in the /AIO folder if the current file does not work on the client. Legacy: undionly.kpxe, undionly.kkpxe, ipxe.pxe and intel.pxe. UEFI 64-bit: ipxe64.efi, snponly64.efi and intel64.efi. UEFI 32-bit: ipxe32.efi, snponly32.efi and intel32.efi.
After reconfiguring, click the Offline and Online buttons for the changes to take effect.For Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, I use to create NFS servers. You do not need any further configuration. Share Folder or DriveIf the files you need are already on the client, just use it. But if the files are not on the client computer, of course you need to get it from another computer. You can download it from the Internet but the speed will be much slower than the local area network.First, copy all the necessary files to a folder and then share it.
Or share a drive. See the Guide to from Microsoft.Here are the steps I share the AIO Boot drive:. Right-click on the AIO Boot drive and select Properties. Switch to the Sharing tab.
Select Advanced Sharing. Check the Share this folder box. Enter a name for the Share name. Click OK. The Network Path is what I need to get, here is Whoamig.Install WindowsSince AIO Boot v0.9.7.5, you can install Windows from network boot using the Windows Installer. Here are step by step. Run AIOCreator.exe and integrate Windows ISO file into AIO Boot. Only support Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Windows 10, does not support Windows XP.
Share AIO Boot Drive. Run PXE and boot into PXE on clients. This is the iPXE menu of AIO Boot. Same here.I’m using Legacy Mode with a Windows 10 iso that is unattended. After I pick the ISO in Grub2 I get a underscore blinking to infinity Any help would be great!This is the Log in Tiny PXE:11:14:17 HTTPd:Server: Returning /Tools/MS/boot.sdi11:14:17 HTTPd:Client: 192.168.0.40 GET /Files/WinSetup/FinalWin10Automaatic/boot.wim11:14:17 HTTPd:Server: Returning /Files/WinSetup/FinalWin10Automaatic/boot.wim11:14:23 HTTPd:Exception:, Connection Closed Gracefully.11:14:23 HTTPd:DisConnect: TID=8908. Thank you for updating so quickly.I’ve downloaded the new version, and I am trying to get it to work, but I can’t seem to.
I’ve entered the network path, user and password into the networkpath.txt file like so:servershare username passwordI’ve also triedservershare username passwordWhen I enter the path manually when the dialog pops up, it works just fine – so there shouldn’t be anything wrong with the share setup. I’ve tried with both Windows 7 and Windows 10 installs.Please tell me if there is any more information I can provide to you that will help. Legacy19:I am able to use both IP and computer name, BUT – I did not get it to wori by using TinyPXE server as DHCP. I set up another DHCP server using a Pfsense virtual machine and then Proxydhcp enabled in Tiny PXE server. That works every time.If you don’t want to use pfsense you can also use an old router or Windows-based DHCP server software.
Just make sure to enable proxydhcp once the dhcp server is set up.This may not be true for everyone, but that is the only way I’ve been able to get it working 100%.
