  • I would also like to see a proper SBS for this. I have created a new KBE, downloaded driver pack from Microsoft and put into the driver feed. The K2000 upgrade is scheduled for early next month. A proper guide to be able to put I all together would be appreciated. - rdbaril 8 years ago

The process for booting the Surface 4 into the KBE would be the same with the other versions, meaning it only will be able to boot into UEFI mode. Depending on version and the configuration of DHCP its possible to boot into the UEFI KBE though PXE if using ipxe, if still using prelinux then will need to create a USB Key formatted as UEFI to boot the system to the main KACE menu.

Windows 10 contains some unique issues, such as the update from 1511 to 1607 is considered an upgrade and will cause problems when attempting to sysprep. The tilemodeldatasvc also can cause issues, usually if you set to disabled and reboot the system, then set to at next startup in the registry there will be no error. See the following links for additional information and once it has been sysprep'd and in the KBE go to a command window and check the /windows/system32/sysprep/panther/setuperr.log file. If this is empty then sysprep is successful, any items listed here should be corrected before capturing the image.

PXEto a Surface is possible once you turn off Secure Boot

 

 

Howto disable Secure Boot on Surface Pro devices

 

  1. Ensure the Surface device is powered off.
  2. Press and hold the Volume Up button.
  3. Press and release the Power button.
  4. After the device begins to boot, release the Volume Up button.
  5. Select Security Tab  Under Secure Boot Select Secure Boot Configuration
  6. Select None
  7. Select OK, then restart the device to boot to PXE

 

 

That’sit, you should now be able to continue with your OS installation, or boot intoan OS from an external storage device.

NOTE: Disabling Secure Boot will change the Surface bootscreen to red, this is normal. Enabling it will return the boot screen to itsoriginal ‘Surface’ on a black background.
