Hi everyone,
I am experiencing some problems regarding running a task sequence for unknown computers.
When I boot certain computers from PXE, I will receive an abortpxe.com
I have verified the following in my environment:
- No duplicate "SMBIOS GUID" in my environment
- No duplicate "MAC-addresses" in my enviroment
- x64 & x86 unkown computer is located in collection "Unknown Computers"
- Correct TS (with correct boot image) is targetted for this collection
In SMSPXE.log I can find the following:

Item key "2046820***" is the corresponding "x64 Uknown Computer". Sometimes this will be "x86 Unkown Computer" for the same device.
When looking at previous entries in the logfile, this computer was once unkown and wa able to receive a PXE:

Looking for bootImage D3000019 SMSPXE 4/07/2014 11:26:28 2052 (0x0804)
What could be the issue? Is it possible that there is still some record referring to this PC and how can I trace/delete it?
Would restarting the WDS server solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!
