Manually removing the BDD PXE Filter

So, if you’re like me and we’re so excited to install MDT 2010 Beta 2 that you forgot to remove the PXE filter first.  You will notice that your WDS service will not start and SCCM will be upset about the PXE role.  That’s because WDS is trying to start the PXE filter which is no longer installed.

Below are the instructions provided by Mr. Niehaus to manually remove the filter hook.

Hope this helps,

Chris

=========================================

The simplest way to remove it from WDS is to edit the registry:

1. Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WDSServer\Providers\WDSPXE.

2. Edit the “ProvidersOrder” to remove “Microsoft.BDD.PXEFilter” from the list.

3. Navigate  to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WDSServer\Providers\WDSPXE\Providers\Microsoft.BDD.PXEFilter, and remove that key.

4. Restart the WDS service.
