I've enabled MSI logging, removed WDS & the PXE service point, rebooted, installed WDS (not configured), rebooted, installed the PXE service point and no log files were made. I ran the pxe.msi installer manually and it created the log file in %temp%, it finished with: MSI (c) (D0:F0) [10:05:32:732]: Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: SMS PXE Service Point. Product Version: 4.00.6487.2000. Product Language: 1033. Installation success or error status: 0. This seems good however there are still no pxesetup.log file or smspxe.log file and the remoteinstall folder it created only contains the 'SMSIMAGES' folder, not the other items I would expect to be in there.

Thanks for the reply, I've tried doing this already. I followed the instructions from http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2011/01/05/troubleshooting-the-pxe-service-point-and-wds-in-configuration-manager-2007.aspx to remove WDS and the PXE service point along with the remoteinstall folder and any existing log files, these are the errors I get when following the instructions on the same page to install it again.

I get the following few errors in Event Log: An error occurred while trying to initialize provider SMSPXE loaded from C:\Program Files\SMS_CCM\smspxe.dll. If the provider is marked as critical the Windows Deployment Services server will be shutdown. Error Information: 0x2 An error occurred while trying to initialize provider SMSPXE. Since the provider is marked as critical, the Windows Deployment Services server will be shutdown. Error Information: 0x2 An error occurred while trying to initialize provider WDSPXE from C:\WINDOWS\system32\wdspxe.dll. Windows Deployment Services server will be shutdown. Error Information: 0x2 An error occurred while trying to shutdown provider WDSPXE. Error Information: 0x6

I am having problems getting the PXE Service Point reinstalled on my SCCM 2007 R3 install. I had to remove the PXE service point for a while as i was using syslinux, however now when I try to reinstall it will not attempt to run any MSI's or perform any configuration. Nothing appears in the event log and the smspxe.log and pxesetup.log are not created. I can try running the pxe.msi manually but I get the following error: SMSPXE Provider starting smspxe 20/07/2011 13:09:54 6712 (0x1A38) ================= PXE Provider loaded. ===================== smspxe 20/07/2011 13:09:54 6712 (0x1A38) Init Policy Provider settings smspxe 20/07/2011 13:09:54 6712 (0x1A38) Machine is running Windows 2003 SP2 or older.

(Error: 80070002; Source: Windows) smspxe 20/07/2011 13:09:54 6712 (0x1A38) Any ideas how I can get this reinstalled without removing SCCM completely? Alternatively is it even possible to reinstall SCCM on the same server with the same site code? This is a new install of SCCM so there is no live data in it but I'd rather not do it this way and lose a week of configuring!
