You also need a guest VM running Windows 10, as well as a blank VM you will use for testing PXE boot.ġ. In this scenario I'm assuming you have a Windows 10 machine with Hyper-V installed available at the network location (VLAN) you are troubleshooting. Setup Hyper-V for network capture of a PXE boot Note: This post was written for our iPXE Anywhere platform, but it is also valid for more or less any PXE solution. Having a network trace has been invaluable in convincing the network folks that's something is wrong, and my favorite way to get a network trace is to use a Windows 10 machine with Hyper-V, and use it's port mirroring feature. I've lost count of the times when a network team assured me that the network has been setup exactly right, or that 'no changes' has been made, just to find out that wasn't exactly true. When troubleshooting PXE problems its useful to have access to a network trace to see what's going on during the PXE process.
