PXE, short for Preboot Execution Environment , is a standard client-server environment that boots client computers remotely by an administrator via network server.

There are many significant advantages of PXE boot, for example:. Before setting up PXE boot server, each client computer you want to boot should meet following conditions:. The working process is roughly like this:.

The client connects to the network and sends out a DHCP broadcast. The DHCP server picks up the broadcast. As you can see, the operation is relatively complicated.
