To deploy the task sequence to computers which are unknown to SCCM, a new deployment must be created. This new

deployment is required because it must be configured for the default All Unknown Computers collection. Follow the
steps listed in the prior section for existing SCCM clients, but ensure the following settings are configured:

Collection – Select the All Unknown Computers collection.

Purpose – Set the deployment to Available, not Required.

Make available to the following – Include PXE.

If the distribution point is not already configured for PXE boot or to respond to unknown clients, these options will need

to be configured by following these steps:

Note: Deployments that are configured as Required will be performed automatically when unknown clients boot from

PXE. To ensure that undesired operating system deployments are not performed on unknown clients unintentionally,
configure operating system deployments with PXE support to be available, rather than required. It is also recommended
to configure an administrative password for PXE boot.

1. Select Distribution Points in Administration in SCCM.
2. Select the distribution point where PXE boot will be configured.
3. Select Properties from the Home ribbon.
4. Select the PXE tab.
5. Select the following options as shown in Figure 6.21:

Check the Enable PXE support for clients check box

Check the Allow this distribution point to respond to incoming PXE requests check box

Check the Enable unknown computer support check box

Check the Require a password when computers use PXE check box

Enter and confirm a strong password for PXE boot
