the scenario is that we have an automated build environment for Windows, Linux and VMWare ESX using pxelinux off one tftp/pxe server. The default option we have is to boot WinPE3 after 60 seconds. I need to be able to instruct selected hosts to boot a different WinPE3 environment automatically, which can be done by created a MAC answer file on the in the pxelinux.cfg folder. This needs to be a zero touch environment - so users selecting a different WIM file from the bcd menu is not an option. This seems to be what lolan also acheived with the binary editing of the bootmgr.exe. I'll check out the post you included to see if that helps me.

dpc - unfortunately thats not what im after. i already have multiple entries in the BCD file for booting different WinPE images. What i need is the ability to launch a different BCD file from a syslinux menu entry that lollan has achieved.

lollan - i've been trying to acheive the very same thing and am ready to bash my head in!. Which file did you need to modify to get this working? I have done this in the past with WinPE1.x - but since the change to BootMGR have been unable to do what you seem to have acheived. Can you please let me know which files need changing. Thanks in advance. s7oneyuk
