After Running WinPE, Bare-Metal Target Reboot Process Stops

Article: 172

Applies to: Releases 3.00 through 3.70

WinPE writes the MBR signature bytes to the target's hard drive. On a bare-metal target with no other jobs pending, the target will reboot after completing the WinPE-based task. During the reboot it will see the MBR signature bytes and attempt to boot from the hard drive. The hard drive has no valid boot partition, so the boot process stops.

To resolve this issue, either

On the target server, manually reboot and force a PXE boot, or
In the Deployment Server Console, while the non-deployment WinPE-based job is executing, schedule a deployment job.
