I have a Windows Server 2012R2 virtual machine running (vm1) on host1. with two networks. The first network is for normal production traffic and the second one is configured for DHCP/PXE. When I create a new VM (vm2) and place it on the PXE network, then boot, vm2 says, "No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received."

I have verified the following: - The VMs are on the same host - The DHCP server is authorized in AD - The the DHCP server has option 60 - The physical port is a trunk and PortFast is enabled - The Windows firewall is disabled

What am I missing here?

Thanks.

    Is the server VM connected to each virtual switch for each physical NIC? Is DHCP bound to the appropriate vNIC's? Do you have a DHCP scope set up for the PXE network? – joeqwerty Oct 25 '16 at 15:52
  • The DHCP server (and the new one) are both on a vDS. The DHCP NIC is IPed to be on the same network as the DHCP scope. The DHCP scope exists. – StackExchangeGuy Oct 25 '16 at 16:01
  • Is the DHCP scope activated? Try running a packet capture on the DHCP server and see if any DHCP traffic is coming in to it. – joeqwerty Oct 25 '16 at 16:38
  • Yes, the DHCP scope is active. I will throw Wireshark on the server as soon as I can, and will confirm traffic. – StackExchangeGuy Oct 25 '16 at 17:09

I manually added options 66 and 67 to the scope, and the PXE boot worked.
