WDS 2012 won't initiate Windows 7 setup with UEFI PXE boot

Hi guys,

I'm having a little trouble with my WDS Server which runs on a Windows Server 2012 R2. I followed the tutorial by BranchCache Bob to set up DHCP policies in order to get BIOS and UEFI modes to boot up into WDS (Youtube video called"Using DHCP to Boot WDS BIOS & UEFI". Sorry but I can't post the link to the video since my account hast not yet been verified). The DHCP server runs on the same machine as the WDS server (i.e. I use the DHCP server option 60).

 

First scenario -> PXE boot via BIOS:
Works totally fine. Client boots via PXE, receives an ip address, lets me choose a boot image, loads the wim file and initiates the Windows setup.

Second scenario -> PXE boot via UEFI:
Client boots via PXE, receives an ip address, lets me choose a boot image, loads the wim file andthen the screen goes black instead of starting the Windows setup. Nothing happens after that. Only thing I can do is shut down the computer (Ctrl+Alt+Del does not even work) and boot it again.

Couldn't find a solution online and hope you guys can help me out with this one! If you need more information just let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Marc
