I have read a lot of threads in these and other forums about this issue, none have helped. Here's the info:
Server 2008R2 (fully updated) running WDS, separate R2 server running DHCP
Server and client are on the same subnet
Boot and Install images are all Win 7 based
Systems PXE boot just fine, and at command prompt (shift+F10) ipconfig shows proper networking and net use shows the reminst directory on the server is mounted
Booting from a capture image (made on WDS from the normal boot.wim already loaded) also works fine, and an image can be captured and shows up in WDS as expected
Permissions on all directories are such that the authenticating account has full read and write as well as just read from at least 3 groups
No images are available for restore, including an image made previously and manually added to WDS, the base Win7 install wim from the commercial media, and the image uploaded to WDS by capture from that same machine.
So, the normal issues of network drivers missing, system compatibility, and permissions are all out the window because network is verified as working, the one image is from the same machine, and the image was captured so permissions are clearly fine.
The Application log in Event Viewer shows this error twice every time you get to the point where the client should be listing restore images:
Source: WDSIMGSRV
EventID: 260
An error occurred while processing an image enumeration request.
Error Information: 0x2
Keywords 0x80000000000000
If only it told me what the problem actually was... Any ideas what this means and how to fix it?
