  3. Hello!

    I had the same issue when testing image deployment over PXE and I found that it was boundary groups not set correctly that caused it for me.

    I suppose it still was an error with accessing the network share, but not in terms of permissions or accounts, just that because the boundary groups didn’t allow the connection to the server to access the content.
